How to Save Us

Seeing 6.3 rating of this movie, I just couldn't resist wasting 2min. for typing this review and about 15min of fast forwarding this masterpiece. The movie is about 2 dudes that do a lot of walking. Sometimes they seat. On occasion they fish and build camp fires. Very often they listen to really crappy music on a small mono transistor radio. Aha, almost forgot... From time to time there is a lot of wind and a very blurry figure shows up in the background. Presumably a ghost or an alien. On a plus side, the producers bought themselves a tripod. Most of the shots are steady. OK. I said it. That's it. Good luck not putting a bear bottle though your plasma... I would love to thank the other reviewers in person.

Awful. Easily one of the worst movies I've ever seen. One star for the beautiful eerie landscapes, otherwise there is simply nothing else to comment on. Don't waste your time. I am well versed in the intellectual movie genre, but this is not it. It's two hours of time vacuumed into oblivion. Now I am supposed to add a few more lines for the review to be long enough, but believe me, there is nothing to add here. There are movies that are not worth one star out of ten, and there is no point to beat around the bush or gorge on the negatives. If you are stubborn like me, you would perhaps spend 80 minutes or so waiting to see if it is a slow-unfolding gem with a plot twist. Let me save your time: it is not.

What's with the high scores/user reviews this movie is getting on IMDb? Are they from members of the movie's cast and crew or something? Make no mistake, "How to Save Us" is a tedious, overlong movie that moves so slowly it's almost unwatchable.

About 90% of it consists of two men in camping gear that walk.

Walk. A. Lot.

Lot's and lot's of walking. Quite often however, "How to Save Us" shakes things up by having the constant walking become... slow, cautious walking. To drag out this finger drumming-fest of a movie even further. I understand "cautious" scenes are meant build up tension, but there's got to be some kind of point or payoff, guys. The white, swirly CGI effect you've put in with iMovie or Windows Movie Maker that *sometimes* shows up doesn't exactly fit the bill.

Very disappointing, especially given these high IMDb scores. I guess no system (especially an Internet scoring system) is ever perfect.

Avoid.

I really enjoyed this movie. Good concept, good cinematography. Didn't end the way I would have expected.

This is by no means a bad Bmovie.

It's very good for what it is, a low budget mystery.

What's with the hating on this film? If you need a reference, it's more Lost than a Walking dead action flick and it relies mostly on little dialogue, scenic shots and suspense which is good because the casts acting talents are a little cringe worthy.

I was oddly drawn in by the story line and the original concept. If you are looking for a high paced scream fest, than this is not for you. If a enticing original story is this is absolutely a very original concept and I can see someone picking this up in the future with a blockbuster high budget, Fassbender featured, remake. Mark my words, I could be very right.
