With my holiday weekend winding down, it would not be
complete if I did not watch one post-apocalyptic themed flick. That’s right, I
definitely have to treat myself to the cinematic ramblings of the Global
Warming alarmists and see how we are going to end up if we do not change our
ways… Whatever, Global Warming only exists when you fail to account for ocean
water in the formulas, and unfortunately, the Agenda 21 populace never account
for it. Oh, my selection for this genre is The Colony.
Plot/ Forced underground by the next ice age, a struggling
outpost of survivors must fight to preserve humanity against a threat even more
savage than nature.
Post-apocalyptic movies are always a mixed bag. Sometimes
they really work, and others, not even close. This one falls somewhere in
between. For all of the promise at the start, this one does not hold
throughout. It is a shame because there was some tension, atmosphere, effects
and story that seemed to work. Yet, the characters, the cliché, the
performances and the ending truly bring this one down. In the end, it is not
the worst flick of the genre, but it had so much more potential that what hit
the screen. If you are a fan of B-grade post apocalypse, give it a shot.
However, if you are a passing fan, look elsewhere.
