Such a frustrating disappointment
Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Z-Grade dreck that wants to be "Outbreak" or "28 Days Later" or any number of better disease outbreak films. A worst-case-scenario occurs at a chemical weapons depot in the Nevada desert that explodes. Two scientists must figure out how to escape the titular territory and face hostile survivors and a boring conspiratorial cover-up. Move along. Nothing to see here. Move along.
I watched the entire movie, which is saying a lot when it comes to indie movies. I won't tell anything about the plot because you get the gist of it from the trailer.For a bunch of unknown actors, this is actually pretty well done. Not a lot of over-acting that frequently comes from indie movies. Cinematography is on point. Edited well and nothing in continuity was off (or it wasn't obvious if it was "off"). The dialogue and lack of dialogue is rather believable. Some of the CGI stuff is obviously low-budget, but it's also better than what I see in a lot of low-budget movies. The fact the actor who plays the lead male "Dr. Eli" / Michael A. Tushaus is ALSO the composer is quite impressive.This is worth watching! I actually had to watch the last two minutes of the story twice because the twist had me saying: "Wait. What? Oh DAMN!" I look forward too seeing more stories from Kelly Schwarze.Nevermind the 2-star rating from "Niaz Islam Arif from Bangladesh" because he gives 2 or 3 stars on nearly every review he does. I'm assuming he is a bitter actor or filmmaker who can't get work ... or he's simply bitter.
This movie is about a chemical disaster and the movie itself a disaster. The script is the only thing that has something in it, nothing else is even worth mentioning. It looked like director took all the people from his neighborhood and gave them a role to play. The acting of these peoples was terrible, neither they had any glamor, charisma or strong appearance.Camera work, lighting and the decoration of the set was also a great let down. If this movie script was given to a better director then it would have been a much better film.So my recommendation you can easily avoid watching this film.
