Breathe

Seemed promising but quickly makes no sense at all.... The character zora seems litteraly stupid, smart enough tobuild machines, incapable to understand that survival comes by being careful. Incredible that living in a post apocalyptic world some one would keep a spoilt brat attitude.

The grandfather takes pointless risks to get a book, and the father takes pointless risks to burry his family member so far away.... Seems like Darwin awards, what did they learn over the past 4 years of survival...

Protect their loved ones stay alive, be suspicious, when you are the only ones to have infinte oxygen... They learnt nothing, aside from the mother who had common sense.

The enemy characters made no sense.

I didn't have any clue what this was when I decided to check out the latest new scifi that dropped, but it only took about 5 minutes and a rediculous social justice mural in the beginning to know that this was going to be bad. There is a lot to complain about here, but to get to the point, the premise is absurd and makes no sense, the characters are quite poorly written, and the props and plot devices are unconvincing and cheap. I couldn't make it all the way through, which is rare for me, and skipping forward didn't really make it tolerable. Perhaps if someone can completely block out plausibility and boredom, then it will get some likes.

They lost oxygen on earth and 4 years later it looked like it had been through a nuclear holocaust. Buildings and bridges were degraded as if they were abandoned for 150 years (maybe more). Super over kill on background!

It was absolutely one of the worst movies I've seen in decades!!! It needs to be pulled from all platforms and viewing capabilities. I only watched it because I like all the actors in it. But damn, what a disappointment! I mean, people actually previewed this after editing and somehow convinced themselves to release this to the public anyway. Some one or some few, should be terminated and seek employment elsewhere!

Seen this movie today, without prior knowledge on what it was about or how it was rated.

Milla Jovovich & Sam Worthington being familiar names that I enjoyed the movies of, raised my expectation of this being an quality movie.

The concept sounded interesting on the condition of the earth with city views and landscape shown.

The air we breathe is of an delicate percentage balance after all.

However it immediately got clear to me that the characters don't take their survival seriously. Not even able to communicate properly, considering the deadly environment they're supposed to be living in.

Their dialogues and actions were of absolute stupidity.

When life is at stake, safety is an priority and there's an immediate state of seriousness, and this movie showed a total lack of that with the main characters.

Talking the most nonsensical of topics, and behaving in an carefree way, living luxuriously as if in an penthouse style, doing spa's & beauty treatments, heavy make up and nails done in every scene, wining & dining wasting food, all with laughter & smiles.

It couldn't be more unfitting to the concept of survival situation and post-apocalypse concept of living underground in an bunker as written in description here on IMDB.

Milla & Sam's acting performance seemed on point and class as usual for quality actors.

But their characters actions and the lines they were given... They were spouting out such utter nonsense unfitting to the scene & circumstances, that there was an immediate dislike and aggravation, from me and the one I was watching with.

We still watched it till the end, enduring one idiotic and nonsensical scene after the next, just to see where it ends up.

And it was an cringed-facepalm watch throughout.

I never expected it to be such an bad movie, especially not with such an starring cast.

I had not heard about this 2024 action thriller titled "Breathe" prior to sitting down to watch it. But I figured that I would give the movie a fair chance, since it was a movie that I hadn't already seen, and plus it had Milla Jovovich on the cast list, which counted for something.

I will say that the concept idea behind the script had a lot of potential to it. However, the execution from script to screen left much to be desired. I had great difficulties buying into the movie, especially since it was supposed to be an oxygen-less world, but it just didn't have that feel to it. So writer Doug Simon didn't exactly deliver anything that was worth writing home about.

There were a couple of familiar faces on the cast list, with the likes of Milla Jovovich, Sam Worthington, Dan Martin, James Saito and Common. I will say that the acting performances in "Breathe" were good.

Visually then "Breathe" wasn't a particularly impressive movie. Sure, it was passable for what it was, but you're not in for anything grand here. And I guess the orange filter that the movie had to it, whenever we looked at outdoors scenes helped to mask brighter colors of green and such that we would otherwise have seen on foliage throughout the course of the movie.

I am sure that there is an audience out there for a movie such as "Breathe", however, I have to admit that director Stefon Bristol didn't impress me with this movie.

My rating of "Breathe" lands on a generous three out of ten stars. The movie just felt like a half-hearted project.
