Spoiler-free.
In this lean in addition to rural post-apocalyptic film, Ann (Margot Robbie) is a missy living yesteryear herself on a farm amongst her dog. The farm is inward a bag of build clean air surrounded yesteryear toxic radioactive air. She may live the lastly adult woman on Earth -- but she isn't the lastly person on earth. John, (Chiwetel Ejiofor) a scientist stumbles onto her land, in addition to the 2 shortly settle into a life there, planning improvements in addition to thinking long-term. Really long-term. But in addition to then around other human being (Chris Pine) shows up, throwing a wrench inward their comfortably forming plans.
There are 2 reasons why I got around to seeing this smaller, low-key film: One, the cast. H5N1 pocket-size cast numbers wise, but a big i name-wise. And two, the fact that it was a sci-fi, dystopian, post-apocalyptic type movie. On this front end came the start moving ridge of disappointment. This is a sci-fi cinema technically because it takes house later a fictional nuclear war, but that doesn't final result inward whatever sci-fi effects. It is the final result of sci-fi effects. The around sci-fi affair that happens is people walking around inward hazmat suits. Otherwise it's simply around province people roughing it on a farm inward the mountains. That's non a bad affair inward itself -- it simply didn't dig deep plenty into its genre to satisfy me.
Really, it's a straight-up drama amongst a plot that is enabled yesteryear scientific discipline fiction. And on that side, it was interesting for a while. It has around complex characters that worked good against each other to do drama, in addition to their interactions posed around interesting -- if non especially deep or of import -- questions. The cast did a practiced task amongst their characters, keeping them involving, in addition to through them the even out equally well. Eventually though, equally they do, the cinema had to end. And that's where everything brutal apart.
They had introduced a bunch of problems needed resolution, in addition to a practiced total of grapheme drama amongst potential. The around interesting was the love-triangle, in addition to the unique relationships betwixt each of them equally the 2 men vie for the attentions of the lastly daughter on earth. The characters are thence evenly done that I didn't receive got a gauge equally to who she would choose, nor a existent preference. I was rattling interested to come across where that would lead. Unfortunately, it led to a jumbled, non-committal ending. And non on whatever of the character's utilization -- this was all the film. The painting spent thence much fourth dimension exploring the dull journeying of the characters in addition to the details of their reactions to plot events, soundless it's similar it couldn't commit when it came to deciding where all that would Pb to inward finality. It simply dropped everything in addition to quit.
It was similar everything stopped at the 2nd deed simply when things were actually getting interesting. I suppose at that topographic point could live around people who come across around form of request or important or social commentary or whatnot, but I didn't, in addition to it didn't travel out me curious plenty to travail in addition to detect one.
The cast yesteryear themselves were good. Margot Robbie was the standout, in addition to Ejiofor in addition to Pine had around occasional ups in addition to downs but they all were quite commendable in addition to enjoyable. The affair I actually can't figure out is why they wanted to do this cinema inward the start place. I don't empathise what attracted them to this projection at all. And since it felt similar the painting resolved nil at all in addition to ended earlier getting to the practiced stuff, they in addition to their talent felt similar a full waste product inward the end.
The location in addition to setting was nice, in addition to the expect of everything was in all likelihood the film's around memorable aspect. Though, at that topographic point was an unnatural lineament to it that made it a lilliputian difficult on the eyes. Too much contrast or something. I did similar the majestic tone.
So, this cinema wasn't a full waste, though it mightiness also receive got been, considering how everything it had going for it for thence long was left inward the dust equally this small-scale apocalypse tale breezed on toward promising conflict in addition to resolution without us. Maybe the photographic idiot box camera ran out of battery.
