Além da Pandemia

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?

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.

What are these people thinking? Anyone who rated this movie 1/10 has never seen a REALLY TERRIBLE movie AND anyone who rated this movie 10/10 has never seen a REALLY GREAT movie. This movie was a typical low budget movie (simple plot, simple characters, predictable in every aspect). At 1 1/2 hours long it was OK. It's all in the expectations. Don't expect much and you won't be disappointed.

As the other reviewer has pointed out, this is more of a drama than a post apocalyptic sci-fi action action film but it has a certain style and captures the pandemic angle using a low budget reasonably well and this has always to be taken into consideration, so there is no CGI and no effects but it does have some merit as the acting, photography and atmosphere is not bad and although the story kinda fizzles out at the end it is bleak , nasty and vicious even though a lot of the story is not explained in detail it deserves a fair and average 5/10.

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.
