H-x-mon

Hard to say whether this is a parody of survival series or survival series. Like every great parody, e.g. "Galaxy Quest", it mocks survival shows but at the same time pays tribute to them. The exploration of what would people do if the society started to collapse around them at an accelerated rate. There is no poorly veiled agenda about morality and human capacity to come together during great stress. It's blunt and unapologetic.

I am giving it top score for great writing, performance and cinematography. However.. if razor thin dry humor wrapped in an occasional social commentary is not your thing, you should probably skip it.

I'll never understand how this film has a 8+ rating on IMDb. The first two weren't bad, particularly the 2008 one, but this finale really blows. The plot is poorly constructed and edited, at times making it impossible to follow, actors lazily played their parts, eagerly awaiting to say the line, get the check and get out. E.g. the scene where the main villain character dies after spinning her head in a jerky motion and shutting the eyes. You can literally feel the disgust on Gary Oldman's face as he watches this "acting".

Plot-holes are so ridiculous, I don't even know where to start: how does a nuclear bomb explode in a visible distance from a city and nobody gets hurt with a heatwave or radiation? How does a 12 million city has a single bridge of entrance? How does a handful of thugs run a megalopolis for months? Why does the main villain put the Batman, the prime target of her revenge, in a pit instead shooting him in the head? Where is that pit? How does a famished man with no money or other resources manage to magically appear from the said pit in a city surrounded by the the military on the other side of the globe? How... does the Nolan character get to make these "Epics"? I mean, no offense, man, but why don't you go making films like "Memento"?
