As the other person said I don't leave reviews but I was so disappointed I actually looked up this film to see what others thought . Very unbelievable doesn't seem to explain what's going on very well sort of flicks one thing to another skipping things out . Wasted an hour and half of my life . I really would skip this one if I was you

Movie is well too slow start and even slower in the middle of it . Quit watching in the middle of it not my thing.

Boy that was some silent apocalypse wasn't it? Anyway. So, some 'kids' are drinking and partying in what has to be the most elaborate bomb shelter I've ever seen when some...'disaster' happens. We're to assume it was a nuclear incident of some kind, but the best we're given is an implication, no actual confirmation. So fortunately the A.I. triggers the auto lockdown, trapping the kids inside, it also turns on the air, water, and constantly monitors for any issues...and yet it couldn't be programmed to transmit an S.O.S. automatically. Rather quickly we see a breakdown in their new society as one guy is coming down off of drugs, an one girl is a psycho. Instead of a nice slow burn to show the slow descent into madness, or the eventual breakdown of societal norms (a la Lord of the Flies) it's into the deep end we go. So we already know who the problem people are, and who the 'sweet innocent' ones are. So that's two hours of non-mystery we have to deal with. Then there's the dream sequences. We see the dreams of one of the survivors, I don't know why they focused on him, he was no more interesting than the rest, but whatever. We see him running through a forest in his dreams....again....and again...and again...and again. Think the movie was running short for time? (no pun intended). When something does not advance the plot, serves no function, and affects nothing..and it's used more than twice...yeah that's called wasting my time. So we have a guy that needs drugs, a chick that needs medication, and a guy with asthma who needs an inhaler. It's funny the way he keeps puffing on it, even when he is very clearly not having an attack. This is one of those 'movie illnesses' that follows only movie logic and not real world medicine. Out of 327 Million Americas, only around 4,000 a year die from asthma, with another 7,000 listed with asthma being a contributing factor. And again, only a handful of those need to puff on it like its a freaking vape pen! Usually an inhaler is for sudden onset attacks. But anyway. Druggy guy leaves the shelter, and "you can neveeerrr come baaaack!" Because he might be sick and contaminate them. What? Then why have the freaking suits if they're not good for anything? I can only assume that they're not designed for extended use or something, but the way they act, it seems like only a few moments outside even with the suits spells certain death. So more people start dropping like flies. And we're supposed to care, but I really didn't. These people had so little personality or established traits, it was like somebody bought mannequins in bulk. Pregnant girl dies, but the baby lives (lets hope it doesn't have asthma!) Older brother dies. Gay asthma decides he wants to hit on the straight guy (the one who openly shares a bed with a woman) because "Oh those wacky gay men, they just can't help themselves right?" But asthma dies soon after. Crazy girl goes...crazy. But its all alright in the end because of....umm...oh look a baby! Now the two sane ones leave the shelter and crazy girl behind. They take the baby too...inside one of the suits apparently. What is it just gonna live in there with you? What happens when it need to use the bathroom? Did you pack baby food into the boots or something? Oh well, who cares, movie over. Yep...movie over. Do they live? Do they die? Was it a war? A meltdown? How do they expect to make it 600 miles carrying a baby in a suit? Well, the movie isn't telling...probably because they spent too much time writing about some guy running, and not enough time writing an actual ending. I expect that the writer/director was going under the "But wasn't the ride worth it folks?" mentality. Let me tell you...no it wasn't!

2 stars......because it's a movie. And It's got....half decent bones (setting/camera-work.) The rest....wow. Truly just one messy trope cliche after another. Right off the bat, they make sure to throw in that one **** character every terrible movie has that is so far off the spectrum of a normal person it's laughable. In real life, if there were someone who is that much of a ****, people just wouldn't put up with you, let alone in a life or death end of days type scenario(He luckily doesn't have a ton of screen time). Anywho, the rest of the characters aren't much better, all falling into one or another type that has been recycled over and over again from every other poorly written movie out there. The other fun note, this bunker's automated systems kick in and seal this group inside. Yet there's about 3 seconds of them questioning whether it's maybe just a fluke. Then they all just kind of go, "yep, okay, world is over, everyone is probably dead" which would be fine if they acted ANYTHING remotely logically after that, instead it's paranoia and unexplained behavior left and right within a week or two. It's like the writers couldn't decide what each character would be...if they'd be survival experts, smart, stupid, grown ups, soap opera characters that give monologues, stoic non-emotional, hyper-emotional, or the spoiled rich kids they were supposed to be. So instead characters just change from scene to scene, thus the reasoning/thought process that you might be able to apply and fool yourself into believing to explain why a character would do something, has to switch every few moments for it to make any sense. Which becomes tiring....fast! If you like the idea of this movie. But want something with characters who make sense with the way they are non-sensical due to circumstances. Something that is raw. Something that will leave you kind of feeling....icky. And point out what actually lies below the surface of humanity being kept in check by society. Watch a movie called The Divide. It also has an occasional meh-moment. But it literally beats this movie over the head with story/character based logic.

Yep I stopped at 30 minutes..Don't waste your time..

You watch a movie don't know one person acting and you want an Oscar performance.. wow really. I was intrigued and watched the movie wondering what was going to happen. So with that said I liked to movie , even what some would say slow parts . Waited to see who came out in the end .

For 250 days and more they stay inside a bunker with no exit and limited source of water and electricity and food than also their clothes are in clean condition also how ever they manage to survive

Worst movie I ever seen . Bad acting so boring and slow
