The Colony (I) (2013)
2/10
A cold movie without the cold
29 January 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Watched this movie last nite, sad to see Bill Paxton and Laurence Fisburne in such a terrible event.

It's got so many technical 'holes' in it I won't even go there, many of which have been addressed already in other reviews.

You could easily see that Mason/Paxton would be the renegade turned hero and Fishburne would be the hero, yada, yada...a very predictable event. The Zombies are nothing new now of course, and as such are a weak attempt to introduce horror and plot to scare you when they could not think of anything else.

The bad ending: OMG, let's just carry some seeds and plant them in the next colony that has a hole in the clouds...

And I love it when it is supposed to be cold and you hardly see their frosty breath outside. Or in the helicopter with holes all around and it seems as warm as inside a house, etc...etc...

Just another end of the world movie based on a committee plot borrowing from many other ideas...yawn, a really terrible move for some great actors who deserve a lot better!
