Deep Burial

This is full on sci-if, but I like a good post apocalyptic story. It's a bit straight to DVD though, the acting is too forced, very wooden, generally a bit OTT and annoying. The CGI is heavy handed in places too. All that aside, fair play to the production for having a go and getting this out there, the story isn't too bad. I suspect the budget wasn't huge and aside the bloke from Lost (that was also a Hobbit or something), there's not any notable names. It's a bit crap if I'm honest, but I kinda liked it, a little bit.

People have tried to replicate the success of Moon with various other titles, like Air and Passengers, but they always seem to miss the point that a film with just a few characters needs something more, not less, than a movie with a lot of people in it.

Unfortunately, that is the case of Atomica/Deep Burial. There are three characters in total, with one of them secondary to the story. And before the big reveal, 20 minutes before the end, nothing much happens than two people talking to each other in a climate of rising suspicion.

The acting is good, the psychological aspect of the thriller is pretty good, but the story is completely empty, as is the message in the end. And the funny thing is that the science fiction part of the movie is completely superfluous. They could have easily done the same scenario in the real world, with more of an impact.

As such, with a future world that feels remote and with characters that have no backstory or much character development, the film is just slow and hard to endure, with no real payback in the end, since no one cared what happens in the first place.

This film missed the mark as it was unconvincing. The acting and the writing/plot where really bad, however, the cinematography and directing was on point. The other fail in this was wardrobe... how is basically a motorcycle helmet part of a modern era space suit? Too bad the negative elements where so apparent, this film had potential. Sadly, it's only a 4/10 from me.

The movie is about a technical engineer, who is sent to a nuclear power plant to repair a communication failure and the unexpected scenarios that follow.

This movie has a very good storyline that could have been much more but the low budget made it not reach its potential. It makes me sad that stories with potential like this gets destroyed due to bad actors and low budget.

It is a one time watch movie.

This film was enjoyable Dominic Monaghan stole the show. The acting was above par and Tom Sizemore was in about 20% of it towards the end. It definitely could of been worse on this budget but the writing and storyline held up. Some of Ms.Habel's scenes were a little out of sorts at times I felt I was watching a soft porn flick... NOT THAT I'M COMPLAINING. But on a budget that was minimal this film held it's own and I can say it was a pretty good film.. Sci-fi fans who don't have sticks up their butt will enjoy.
