The Great Silence

That I have to fast-forward through. This happens very rarely and I watch lots of films. During the quarantine, I've watched like 20 films and I just want to say I'm sorry since I just couldn't force myself to sit through this one.

It is in fact - boring and unengaging. After literally nothing interesting (besides setting up the premise) happened in the first 40 minutes I was just forced to fast forward through this one and believe me, I've seen a lot of slow films that work. Scenes are there for a reason, these have to establish something, characters, their relations, build up the atmosphere, you should avoid filler scenes in a film.

I don't want to go hard on the creators, but did no one really took a look at this film and say - this just can't work, it's too slow and we clearly have not enough material for a full feature?

The main lead is likable (although distractingly beautiful in a classic sense of the word), her character has an arc, the message in there, literally burning the bridges and killing the past, evolving.

Why not give the script some time and thought? Fill it with something interesting?

I was surprised to see this movie's low rating. I expected this movie to be rubbish honestly, and if you're expecting an action disaster movie you won't get it here. It is simply set up and realistic in my opinion. It has some flaws but I found it believable and refreshing. The main character had more depth than I expected given the set up of a pretty actress. Not a ground breaking story, but cinematography was beautiful. Well done cast and crew. You deserve better than 4 stars.

This could have been excellent. Decent performance by female lead, but like many modern TV shows, the movie is simply all about stupid people making stupid decisions at every turn. These people deserved everything that came their way, as they had the collective intelligence of a baked bean.

And another thing: Fighter jets don't fly low over empty farm land in a pandemic! Waste of gas. Huge chance of crashing. Jets fly high, producers, for many good reasons...

Ultimately, this flick was a waste of a decent premise. It's billed as a sci-fi flick, but it's not.

You have been warned.

This movie was released just as the pandemic was starting back in March and yesterday was released on VOD.

Also yesterday the rating was around 5,now it's at 3.9 and dropping so that is an indication of the quality of this film.

This is not a suggestion to watch but rather to avoid. Not exactly Post Apocalyptic,more end of the world scenario,with poor acting, bad or nonexistent story. What's worse is that we now know what it's like when a global pandemic hits and how people,governments, WHO etc react. We have that experience now and as life is always stranger than fiction this zero effort scenario is not convincing.

You must have at least one likable character going from scene to scene doing reasonably intelligent things

as previous reviewers have said - its not sci fi

I wasted almost an hour hoping it would improve but it didn't

I hope the film makers can learn that the audience needs to follow a character that behaves in a manner that we can support.

To say there are gaps in the plot is an understatement.
