Existence

I thank prime for every so often allowing me to stumble a cross these films so often hidden in a sea of vanity projects.

Existence is a low budget film, but in its tiny setting and sparsely populated world, this does it more justice than disservice.

Some might say that the story is one without destination, that the character's lack much, if any explanation, but again this showing, rather than telling approach leaves so much more open.

The music score is minimal, but hauntingly beautiful, and sound is used again and again to display the unknown.

Very little is explained in this film; much of the story is shown though actions and interactions, and answers are lacking, forcing the viewer to judge for themselves, or just to question.

I would strongly recommend this film to anyone who wants a break from railroad narrative and just wants to sit back and watch something beautiful, if not stark.

Not a film I would normally watch but on thought I'd give it a go.

It is a film of few words but the setting and atmosphere easily make up for it and it makes the setting more believable.

There are a few annoyances like, why they have forgotten the names of things and have made their own, but as we don't know how far in the future this is set (not that far judging by how well kept the turbines are though).

The story line is also pretty sparse but overall the film is oddly addictive and I found myself having to keep watching to see where the film went - I am normally very intolerant of films so for it to keep my attention is a positive.

It is well worth a watch as it is very thought provoking. But as another reviewer has rightly said, it gives you not a single answer.

Ok to watch but has left me thinkng like that is an hour and 25 minutes of my life I will never get back!!!

Utter melodramatic crap. I gave it one star because it finally ended.

It's a bleak, post-apocalyptic movie that's pretty much all mood and not a lot of action. I enjoyed the scenery and the haunting soundtrack. If you're looking for an action flick, give this one a pass.
