Extinción

It is a B-level movie but close to A-level. I enjoyed it, and I'm skeptical of every movie. I hope Tubi produces more movies. It's shot well with camera angles, very well lit - beautiful cinematography. It has decent acting - the main actor does a good job in the role he's supposed to play - that's a tough character to act. It's edited well - better than most b-level sci-fi (or non-fiction) movies. The pacing is perfect. The story is creative for a pandemic movie. Brilliant story as well.

Bravo. The story keeps you entertained to the end. And I appreciate the homages to other movies - I think you'll appreciate them as well.

Eradication (2022) is a Tubi original I recently watched on...Tubi. The storyline follows a man who wakes up in a cabin and the phone rings. The voice on the other end informs him the world has been impacted by a virus he appears immune to but he needs to stay in the cabin to survive. If he is bitten it could be the end of existence. Can the man follow orders and who is the voice on the phone?

This movie is directed by Daniel Byers in his directorial debut and stars Harry Aspinwall (The Quest) and Anita Abdinezhad (Scooter).

This movie had a lot of potential. The scenery and cinematography is gorgeous. The makeup and zombies are very well done. Unfortunately the movie is primarily the main character wandering around confused with nothing happening. The storyline concept isn't overly original but it contains some unique elements. The end is dumb and frustrating but not what you'd expect.

Overall this is a film that has some worthwhile elements but fails to meet its potential. I would score this a 3.5-4/10 and only recommend it if you can't find something better to watch.

Right, well I was lured into watching the 2022 thriller "Eradication" given the movie's interesting cover/poster. And the synopsis had some appeal to it as well. Sure, I had never even heard about this movie from writers Harry Aspinwall and Daniel Byers prior to sitting down to watch it.

The storyline in "Eradication", as written by Harry Aspinwall and Daniel Byers, is slow paced. So very, very slow paced. Believe me when I say that virtually nothing happens throughout the 87 minutes that the movie runs for. So director Daniel Byers didn't exactly manage to deliver a wholesome movie experience here. And truth be told, I had expected a bit more from the movie than what it turned out to be.

The acting in the movie was okay, but the cast were struggling with having a subpar script to work with. And given the setting of the movie, and the limited number of people on the screen, then the actors and actresses had to deliver more convincing performances in order to carry the movie, and they just weren't able to do so given the script - or lack thereof.

Visually then "Eradication" was okay. It was not a movie that used a whole lot of special effects, so you're not in for a particular impressive spectacle of visual effects.

While I managed to endure all 87 minutes of "Eradication", then I wasn't entertained. So why stick around? Well, I was hoping that the movie would pick up, that director Daniel Byers would surprise the audience with something. But it just never happened. And thus I can in all honesty say that this is not a movie that I will ever return to watch, nor is it a movie that I would recommend you to waste your time, money or effort on.

Sadly, the movie's cover/poster was actually the best thing about the entire ordeal.

My rating of "Eradication" lands on a two out of ten stars.

I really liked this movie, it kept me interested most of the time. I did skip ahead several times during the long drawn out up close emotional face shots and long scenery walks or house sneaking waiting for danger at the next corner, they draw those scenes out way too long in every movie. Other than that, I was glued to the screen waiting to find out the mystery of what is really going on. Some things are still not clear to me but that's okay, gives me something to think about. The ending was unexpected but I suppose that is due to constant Hollywood garbage. Overall a good movie imo, much better than the usual cgi/action/dumbed down usual stuff.

And, this will probably get my review banned, but there was no forced on you identity or gender or race stuff shoved in your face....

Thats it.

A man in a house in a forest.

Something about a virus.

Then just an egg timer for the rest of the film going off every minute or two.

Atrociously bad.

Stay away at all costs.

Only way it could be worse if it was a baby crying for the rest of the film instead of the egg timer.

If it was any slower paced it would have been dead on arrival. If it was any more pointless it would be a beach ball.

Someone should have slapped the director/writer in the face early on.

Who would want to listen to an egg timer go off every minute for an hour and a half?

Its incredible. So bad its unbelievable, might go down in history as the next 'The Room' - but far far more annoying.
