400 Days

source: 400 Days

This immediately takes a nose dive with a press conference that looks like it's from the 50's. The movie never looses that feeling of fake-ness and it's some what sad the actors still try to act serious thru this in tire mess. It seems they could not decide what kind of movie to make and there for left us with nothing. This is like movie making for dummies,shoot some scenes explain nothing and give it a title,done! It's utterly forgettable.Anything else is better. Bird watching...stamp collection...nose picking. Even sleeping would be better. Dream of a place where this movie don't exist. Seriously,skip this one.

Stranded or isolated group of people movies are common trend these days, with all those reality shows and experiment shows. What better than to make a movie about depth space mission as a reality show experiment? Enter 400 days. As the title of the movie says, a group of 4 people must spend 400 days isolated in what appears to be a ship but it's actually a bunker. The movie consist on 2 acts, in the first one we see a psychological thriller in which the group must face with the fact they are isolated and need to come to terms with each other and solve the obstacles to progress. It's slow-paced but good, the acting is appropriate and the slow parts are necessary to balance the shocker parts. This is all good but the problem I have is with the second part, this is were the movie does a transformation, it goes from being a solid 6 points movie to a somewhat bad adaptation of a poorly written B-movie, with poorly written B-movie actors included. Watching this transformation unfold on screen is tedious, sad and disgusting and by the time the end comes, the whole experience reach a climax in which the viewer is left with a WTF moment (and not a good one) and the writers pretending to be smart but showing that they really don't care about the story or the viewer. It's something like, this is good, what else could we do with it.. yeah I don't know... okay, let's cut the movie right there... bang, titles.. Suffice to say the movie does not get more than a 4 and that's high enough and you should skip it, don't say I didn't warned you. If you're looking for good SCIFI, go see the reverse of this movie, go watch Infini.

This is a B-movie but a good B-movie. There was no sex, no nudity, very little swearing and the fight scenes couldn't be called violent. Everything was implied. Having three actors that play superheroes and villains gave the movie some hope of success. Unlike Chris Evans who I think has soiled his acting career with a series of bad movies like Snowpiercer, Brandon Ruth, Caity Lotz, and Tom Cavanagh have done something outside of comics that shows them capable of acting something different. The fact that 3/4 of the movie happens within 3 rooms may be a bit frustrating to some. The ending may leave you frustrated but that's okay.

This is ridiculous. This is my first ever review here and Im doing it only because Im so f.... emotionally unstable right now because of this crap. The movie is OK. I enjoyed the excitement, the setting, the acting was more then fine for a low budget movie and to tell you the truth, I was really happy to finally find something that can keep my interest more then 20 min. The problem with the movie is the f... ending. There is basically none. You are left with 1000 questions and no answers. You are left in some kind of limbo where you are not sure if you want to cry or throw something at the screen. We have absolutely no way of knowing anything about how this ended. The door opens, we see something that might be light coming in and.... the end. But this answers nothing. And there are so many other questions that just are left hanging. Think if you read a book. A crime novel. Now imagine that we follow a cop who is investigating a murder. Thru whole book, you get clues about what happened, whats going on and the writer really builds up the expectations for the ending. And then book ends. Just like that. This movie is like that. It just f.... ended. I think Im gonna go cry now.

This is one of the worst films I have seen. Terrible script, full of plot inconsistencies. The film has no direction, and the set design is terrible. In a number of places it tries to gain some credibility by referencing Kubrick amongst others. Clearly there was no shortage of funding but a complete lack of any art leaves it a dull, uninspired waste of time and effort. None of the characters would have passed even an initial psychological examination. They are all too emotionally unbalanced to even have been considered for their mission. Although the plot doesn't rely on people behaving idiotically to drive it forward, all of the character interactions are due to the protagonists utter childishness.

Maybe I'm just a sucker for terrible movies, I have watched many, but I feel that the 2 other reviews here are from viewers who hold on to a candle of a perfect movie within any given genre, and that anything that goes against that can only be considered a failure and a waste of time for all involved... This is my first review, I don't have the writing skills that some reviewers have, but I do have an honest opinion... Do not watch this movie unless you have, like me, exhausted almost all other options. Watch this movie if you have a few hours to kill, and you want to watch a good old fashioned B-movie. Yes the story is contrived and, yes, the characters are flawed, and HECK yes, the time-line and 3rd act make little to no sense. But I for one enjoyed it for what it sets out from the start to be. A poorly written, clichéd, homage to the B-movies of old. If the previous reviewers really think that this movie was a total waste of everyones time, then I would like to see their fantastically scripted masterpieces. Watch this film if you have hours to kill, you might find that you enjoy it in the same way that you enjoy a bacon sandwich, fleeting, momentary, and utterly forgettable.

Its a class of its own. It must be seen. They visualize how the space-programs are simulated. How astronauts are actually prisoners and forced to play their part. If i didn't know better, i might call this predictive programming. Thanks for the exposure - 10/10 SPOILER*** Ironically there is an asteroid or unknown object to flyby moon safely. The distance is actually not far away. the distance of 1.3 - between moon and Earth. This movie and the news seem to come out about the same time. Thats very interesting, i like movies with coincidences like that. Have a nice Halloween.

!!!Spoilers!!! So keep in mind I watched this movie with a 3 out 10 alcoholic buzz. I think that's what affects this review for the better. So after watching the trailer for this movie, I was excited to see what it was really about. The trailer really set it up to be an exciting thriller. So as I was watching this, there were a few questions that popped into my mind. Q1. What's really going on here? Are they really doing this exercise or is it made up. A1. The female doctor keeps injecting them with "Immune system boosters" but you never see here taking them at all. Is she drugging them? I did feel like this movie kept the characters in a ship underground. I never suspected that they left earth at all. Q2. What's up with the moon? Is it gone or not? and if so, why, when it shows the moon, does it look like there is an icy glaze on the sky obscuring the moon from sight. A2. This was a serious plot hole in the story. You never get a definitive yes or no on what's going on and the whole movie you are just watching events unfold for the sheer sake of watching it. Due to my buzz, It was easily overlooked. And for there to be moon dust all over the ground is confusing now that I think back on it. Moon dust travelled that far in space and settled on the earth. How does this deplete oxygen and how are people still living in that town if this is the case. Q3. WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THE ENDING?! A3. The ending leads you to believe that it was all in their head the whole time. Because when the hatch opens up, sunlight comes through when only seconds ago, there was no sunlight at all. There had to have been 4 people the whole movie, otherwise the 2 survivors would have been crazy the entire film even before going into the ship. You never know what happens to the other 2. You are led to believe that they were killed off but you never actually see the act itself. Note: Tom Cavanagh (<- Think I misspelled his name.) Superb performance as a villain. He has garnered a lot of attention since his role as a villain on the TV show "The Flash" and he definitely goes down in my book as a great actor. He was probably the best thing about this movie if you ask me. All in all, I watched this movie start to finish with an overall good feeling despite all the 1.0 reviews. There are a lot of plot holes and unanswered questions but I think having those questions in the back of my mind is what kept me watching despite the fact they never got answered. Would I recommend this movie? Yes, watch it one time at least. I might not go back and watch it again, its worth 1 watch, then forget about it.

Character motivations make no sense. Psychologically unstable people training to become astronauts. A gap from 35 to 373 days. Literally 48 weeks go by and we're to assume that nothing has changed with the crew. Writer/directer manufactures a bunch of clues (picture of real diner owners, strange food and alcohol, blood, caged people) that are left unanswered. We're left hanging with sticks up our asses, no explanations given at the end. Tom Cavanagh's performance was decent as a crazy killer(?). Costume department needs to try a little harder. Stainless steel hose clamps and binder clips used for the faux space suit collars.
