Little faith on Humanity

This movie showed a total chaos after some days with no electricity, okay, so, what? Movie depict the humans as total and brutal savages. I do not share the director views in this one, people tend to help each other in extreme situations, not the opposite.

Typical The Human Animal.

It's description of the plot says it all.

Humans behave exactly how described in many movies when a huge event happens.

The deeply subdued ugly human nature arises to forefront. Terrible and horrible and worse than the other animals on our planet we humans behave!

I hope I do not behave like these characters portrayed in this movie. I doubt I will. I will take each day and events as it rises. I hope.

It's an okay film, I'd recommend others to see it so that if an event like such occurs, remember what to do and NOT DO.

Dime Novel turned movie

Nothing groundbreaking. The acting is good enough and the story is decent but it seems more it should a single episode of TWD or some such show. Plot is kinda weak to carry a whole movie.

I'm in between

Some of the user reviews raved about this film, while others trashed it. I' in between. There are some wonderful exterior shots. There is--at times--some well-earned tension. And there is an ending that might surprise some of you.

On the other hand: the acting is not really that good. There are not startling or unique effects. The pacing--which was OK for my during my lunch break--might be painstakingly slow from some.

Bottom line: If you have a free night and you can't find anything else that interests you, then check this one out. It isn't a complete waste of time (unlike "Aftershock" which I just saw and other than some laughs at some sick humor-e.g. a guy loses his hand--graphically--and his female partner picks it up and places it in her purse. On the way to the hospital with his injury, his female friend has her purse ripped off. Had to laugh at this bit--and a couple more.)

So for an OK night, with an OK movie--you could certainly do far worse than "The Blackout."

After school special.

Yawner. Pushed no boundaries. A what could be movie about a blackout. Everything implied, nothing seen. Good cure for insomniacs.
