American Blackout (2013 TV Movie) User Reviews

"Adult Entertainment" for prepers.

[jesseslypig · 1/10 · 28 May 2023]

In my opinion, this movie has sparked a few wildfires in our society that we just didn't need. The content is absolutely focused on fear and a deranged lvl of obsession. It glorifies violence, while denouncing compassion. This "film" is prepper pornography. This movies impact on society has almost certainly lead to literal attacks on actual united States infrastructure. There is a psychological phenomenon when people have invested into anything over an extended period of time. Where they "need" a payoff and the climax for some of these "preppers" is justifiable homicide.

That's the fantasy. It's sad.

Interesting and obsessed

SPOILERS AHEAD

I love this film, hell I'm obsessed with it. Some might say it sucks and what nots. But the truth is you gotta like things like the colony and doomsday. Because this films portrays as a survival documentary. Showing what ifs in many different scenarios. Like what if your prepared, what if your not. Settings like the city, the suburb. Being trapped with strangers or just being alone to defend yourself. How easily society will fall. I mean if you think about it it's accurate in a way just look how the US turned when COVID hit. Everything just stopped and food became hard to get. I mean for some the film can be unrealistic. I mean for all that to happen in just a short time. But the truth is people are unpredictable, in the film they explain about the black outs in cities and over night they became riots. And anyone who ever had a shortage of things (epically suiting COVID) you can see how people go crazy. So even though some parts might be unrealistic their are some truths to it. And that is what make the film great.

Boring

This movie sucks but I'm giving it two stars instead of one because the peach fighting scene was kind of funny. It pretends to be "realistic" and uses some real-life footage but it's hard to believe and just bad. I didn't care about any of the characters. I actually ended up loathing them and wanting them to get hurt. The ending was weak and had no explanation. It felt like the power being back would magically fix everything that went wrong, somehow. I feel like the only person who has seen this film and I hate myself for it. I feel bad for the actors in this. They deserve better. Right now I'm just doing this because IMDb is forcing me to write a longer review. My original review only had two lines and it was about the can of peach and the fight.
