The Park

I don't understand the low ratings. I actually love this! I love the story. It's very indulging. Makes me think how am i going to be in this situation where i am a kid again and had to deal with fellow kids.

It's a beautiful story of friendship, being tough and young love. The lead female was so good. You can feel her sincerity when she's crying.

This movie will take you back in time and make you reminisce your teen years and your first love maybe.

I love the shots, the natue, the sea. The scenery captured the lonely vibe of the film of surviving.

My only problem with this movie is it's very short. Only a little over an hour. But it's worth the watch. Not top notch but definitely not trashy. Deserves more than 5.

All adults are deadfrom a mystery virus. Only the children survive and they have an expiration date. Hit puberty and they die.

Interesting premise. Right. Could be good......wrong.

Firstly I can't really imagine this generation would survive long if this happened now. Just saying. Over sensitive cancel culture kids or those identifying as a toasters and pondered to wouldn't prepare them for a world without adults let's be honest.

Silly film really. Can't make mind up what it wants to be. Dark or tweeny.

Kids murdering each other....dark. With machetes darker..... but don't see anything at all and more about clichéd tweeny drama.

Too tame to be horror or an adult apocalyptic film with too dark theme for sensitive little kids of today. 🤷🏻 I was hoping for more of an intelligent Lord of the Flies type film. This is nothing as cerebral.

Potential Violence yet that never really happens l Or seen, frustrating. They try to make it tense and threatening and gritty, kids swearing and welding machetes but ultimately is so tame it's kinda embarrassing!? Why not just commit to one or the other. Maybe the tweens will enjoy it but as soon as past puberty I wanted to die than continue watching. But I did. And the ending was lazy and abrupt.

It tries to be philosophical and deep but its just kinda embarrassing how much it fails to achieve anything. A pointless endeavour.

Of all the people talking about bad acting or bad story, I'm not sure we watched the same movie. This is a movie with 99% child actors so expecting Oscar worthy performances (I found their acting to be better than average, and 100% better than the really bad movies that are constantly released, e.g. Cheap version of what's about to come out in theaters.) The premise of the movie was decent; how would kids who haven't reached puberty survive in a world without adults. Maybe others are disliking the movie for it being a female protagonist that is stronger than her male counterpart? Just a guess there, anyway....

There are a lot of routes this could go but this movie decided to somewhat focus around an amusement park. It didn't seem to be a primary focus of the "Neverland" the plot description implied so it kinda failed on that route. Regardless the movie does a good job of portraying a world where per-pubescent children have to survive. I enjoyed it and very much was not a waste of my time.

The cinematography, locations and plot were top notch. The premise and plot was interesting, although it wasn't the focus of the story.

The trailer is kind of misleading. Don't expect a horror, survival or action film. Think more of a indie character study rather than a plot driven film. The film can be dark due to it being post-apocalyptic but the kids balance it.

This film covers topics of humanity, survival and empathy. It's unconventional and kinda keeps you guessing on what will happen.

The writing wasn't bad. The dialogue is believable, which most writers struggle when it comes to kids but Shal Ngo did a great job with a nice message at the end.

Most of the reviews that are hating on this gem seem to be miserable boomers who are literally "kids these days" wouldn't survive... It's a fictional film... get over yourselves.

The acting is probably the weakest aspect of the film but it's kids. Some of the kids over act but it's bearable. The main character Ines played by Chloe Guidry is surprisingly well done and subtle. Kuan played Carmina Garay seemed to be over expressive but it kinda fits her character. It does drag towards the middle.

I had to give this film 10 stars to out weigh the unnecessary hate. But the film is probably 7/10. An above average film that made me remember the wonder and hope of being a kid.

Stop with the superhero movies already!

My first impression seeing the previews was that this would be like Lord of the Flies in an amusement park. Once I got into the movie, the setting and the soundtrack played very well into the story of kids struggling in a dystopian world. The story is straight forward with some nice up and downs. The fact that they used lesser known actors (at least to me) was very refreshing because the movie banked on the story, setting, characters, which I loved. Overall, a very well made movie. I look forward to seeing more movies with these actors and by these writers.
