Then There Was

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.

This film needed to be massively edited. The problem was the writer clearly had some kind of ego trip that they didn't their cut out what they thought was significant and important content, which in truth was boring and pointless mundane and lame.

The girls were just unwatchable.

Actually, every character was pathetic.

I have no idea what the point was, other than "guns bad".

The writers and everyone involved in this dogs breakfast should be ashamed. So much potential ruined by amateur skills surpassed by inflated ego.

Any review over 3 is someone attached to the film.

So much potential, ruined by amateurs resorting to cliches, 1 dimensional characters and pointless, repugnant side stories.

I am scatching because I know they are reading this and they deserve it. Well edited, if I were the editor I would not want my name attached to this film

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.

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.

The Blackout is a well-crafted film from the start about a global blackout and its impact on one local area. The acting is superb and there is ample tension throughout its duration. It bogs down a little at times with mundane dialogue, but overall the pacing is good. The film is a study of human behavior during a time of serious crisis and it plays out in a fairly realistic manner. There is an obvious anti-gun bias evident, especially at the end of the film, where it seems that everything would be fine if there were no guns. Well, realistically, in a global blackout that lasted for any extended period, everything would not be fine--guns or no guns. In a world so dependent on modern contraptions and conveniences, most of us would not know how to survive in their absence--not for long anyway. In the end, it is a good film, but personally I could do without the political message.
