Last Survivors

It started off good with premise of wars and hiding in the woods, but quickly become highly predictable, then it just became stupid and aggravating *pretty much when silverstone (or character) came into the movie.

Anyways avoid this movie I was fooled by fake reviews you don't have to be.

3/10 for steady camera work and the scenery.

No idea why the sci fix reference, but I'm guessing the bad reviews are mostly coming from those expecting an alien invasion, bombs, battles, blood and guts.. Basically teenagers with short attention spans.. Yes, it was fairly predictable, but I thought it wasn't bad for a what if scenario.. Nothing unbelievable, tho depending on how many trespassers went missing over the years I think it would have raised enough suspicion that they'd have been caught long before.. That said, the rest was relatively believable and tight enough to maintain a sense of reality.. I do not doubt this has and will continue to happen in the real world, so then this simple movie offers a what if perspective.. The cinematography was good, scenery great, acting surprising adequate and the directing solid.. For what it is I'm not sure there's a lot needing to change.. I did wonder where the canned peaches came from, but generally it's a fine little film.. The bad reviews are mostly coming from those whose expectations of grand murder and mayhem from aliens were not fulfilled.. I think 6 is fair for this type of movie and I'd like to hear honest justification for less..

I thought it was a good movie. Yes in the middle it was predictable but still a good story. Wish they answered more questions about everyone's past. But I enjoyed the 90 minutes. Kept me entertained and thats all I can ask for in a movie. So it was good. Watch it for what it is.

Filmmakers (the writer and director) that only have short-film experience need to start becoming more mindful of what they put on a film's running time. Of the long and dragged out 98 min runtime, the entire first half should've been condensed to at most 20 mins. Ya we get it, father and son are survivalists, get on with the story. Typical rookie filmmakers mistakes.

And whoever decided to genre-label this a "sci-fi" needs to give their heads a shake. There's zero sci-fi in this film. For that matter, there's very little thrills even calling this a "thriller". Maybe 10 mins tops near the end where your heart rate may go up a few bpm. This is more of a mystery/drama film, that drags out a lot of filler, and underutilized any good substance there was in the story. Conceptually, the story is smart, but the execution was clumsy, drab, and muddled.

The performances were good and convincing, especially Silverstone. The cinematography was decent, as was the soundtrack - especially the last song by Baker Grace, but the score was your typical B film nonsense; loud, overbearing, constant and annoying. If you're patient, and maybe fast-forward most of the first half of the film, it does get better by the ending, and it'd be a good one-time watch if you have nothing better to see. It's a generous 6/10 from me for this non-thrilling non-sci-fi film.

Some great ideas (survivalists / loyalty / desertion) but also faint whiffs of gun control and anti-masculine ideas that seem silly. Silverstone is good - but the last third of the movie falters in making any good points.
