    Very good

    I'm not sure what is with other people, but I thought this movie was very good. Maybe they just can't enjoy something that is not a big blockbuster budget mega action movie.

    I enjoyed the entire movie. I thought the story, acting, set were all good and kept me watching and thinking the entire time. Never once did I think it was boring or wish that it would hurry up already. I thought both main characters were very good and I was never sure who I really wanted to root for.

    There were only a few places where I thought things wouldn't have gone the way they did them but maybe that is just me.

    Yes, I would definitely recommend this movie if you like to think and feel rather than just be entertained.

    I Liked It!

    Found the sense of isolation, seclusion, possible hallucination (?) and building paranoia immersive as I find them intriguing as themes to begin with; kept me glued.

    The sense of "unknowing" is vital in this one since leaves viewers with an unsettled feeling. Hence, I like that this gives only enough context without an all-out explanation as a prelude.

    Good story about characters thrown together into circumstances beyond their control and how they handle the unexpected.

    I found the pace just right, not too fast and not too slow either. Bottom line, I'd watch it again!

    Well worth watching if you enjoy sci-fi dystopia genre

    Despite other reviews I've read i liked this movie. Read no further than this review, or the synopsis because the less you know the more immersed a film will feel.

    It's about two men who service a facility which hold the last remnants of humanity and civilization. The air outside is toxic, there are other facilities just like theirs out there.

    Although the cinematography was average, and i think some scenes could have emphasized claustrophobia better; nonetheless, the production value was great which is necessary for films in the sci-fi genre. The soundtrack i really liked and it really sealed the deal on my interest. From the start there was growing suspense that kept me fixated.

    Up until the conflict, i felt like i was alongside them in this dystopia. I don't think the chemistry between Bauer and Cartwright was really that fluid and the dialogue (banter) itself was sloppy and forced. But they really shined when they were in their separate scenes and that is what held my intrigue.

    STUNNING DIRECTORIAL DEBUT

    At last, a believable post apocalyptic tale without endless CGI trying to cover up a lack of plot. Gripping and well paced, claustrophobic and tense, the performances are brilliant. It won't suit those who want endless blam blam action or schoolboy heroics. The music score greatly enhances the feel, but at times the sound has been mixed too loud for the dialogue. Would have been nice if there was some frozen Noah's Ark animals as well. Nevertheless, a great first card in the game. Congrats to all, including the editor. When I saw the really negative review I simply thought: 'this poor person is not very bright'.

    Had potential

    If they had fleshed this out and included more details this could have been a more enjoyable movie. As it stands its left wanting. It does have some good scenes but not enough to make it adequate let alone satisfying.

    • Trivia
      First movie produced by Robert Kirkman, who is the executive producer and head writer of the series The Walking Dead (2010) and creator of the comic book the show is based on.
    • Goofs
      When Cartwright heads to the adjacent facility Bauer tells him to say hello to their counterparts, and when Cartwright gets to the airlock he bangs on it and asks them to let him in. However earlier it showed that all the facilities operated on the same schedule, the maintenance workers from each facility all checked in within a few minutes of each other, indicating the two hour window where they are awake is at the same time for all facilities. Meaning the two workers in this facility should be back asleep in their stasis chambers and wouldn't be able to hear him knocking, which is something both should know.
