end of the world flop
Added 10/29/2009
I should have known better after reading the back of this DVD I rented at Blockbuster than to rent it. My hopes that I would be wrong were dashed when I found out this movie is just another poor attempt by bankrupt movie makers to cash in on popular box office hits. Dedicated end-of-times enthusiasts may take this poorly written prediction of the future to heart but, of course, some people will believe anything. Low budget movies like this have the advantage of being filmed in a junk yard.

Bad Movie.......Great T.V. Show
Added 7/1/2009
Title really says it all. If you get this " Movie " and expect a fun exciting ride you will not be happy. If you get this to see a good T.V. show well than hell good grab.

Diisappointing - Boring, Pathetic, and Utterly Forgettable
Added 6/27/2009
I love post apocalyptic sci-fi movies. Since I am partial to that breed of movie I am willing to forgive a lot. But this movie fails in just about every way a movie can fail. The story is weak, the acting is weak....EVERYTHING is weak. Some movies are so bad (e.g. Plan 9 From Outer Space) that they are entertaining as comedies. Not so here. Just really bad. I found myself thinking about WORK while watching this. That is how gripping it is. Imagine a bunch of high school film students made a budget movie for their class project. Well, here it is. I am gonna take this one to 1/2 Price Books asap.

Only redeeming feature is the song
Added 5/5/2009
Zillions of logical flaws--people are way too clean, trimmed, and civil. Mostly, they're just too plump--are supplies running low or not? Was there or was there not a nuclear cataclysm so great that it totally destroyed society and blighted agriculture, and if so...?
As the other reviewers have said, "Post-Apocalyptic" nearly requires the adjective "bad". This is even worse than that. In addition to an absolutely nonsensical plot thread (and associated stock caricatures--insane sisters/adopted daughters of "wicked witch")we also have actual fairyland style magic with a psycho-mystic twist courtesy of a cheesy Black "shaman". Imagine Lionel Richie blathering platitudes in Morgan Freeman's very blandest voice.
And for all that, Tara Nevins' rendition of "Stars Fell on Alabama" is worth the rental.

I might enjoy this movie if I was brain dead and had no standards
Added 3/1/2009
If you have two brain cells to rub together you won't like this movie. I like Azura Skye and I wanted to like this movie but it just didn't make a lick of sense:
-it seemed like the black guy said he lived in a basement under the basement?
-black guy has magical powers?
-seems like everyone has claimed their little square of land and pretending that they're the last ones left by not leaving their hiding place
-how did the crazy miss havisham-esque lady with wierd lips find out about the pregnant chick when the pregnant chick was hiding in a basement?
-the make it seem like such a huge journey when people leave one place for another and yet it seems like they make it to the next place with ease and just a few hours of walking
-how is it that one grp of people can make it to a place by walking in about the same amount of time as it takes another to drive when it was supposed to be an incredible journey? and how did they all know to go to the same place?
-what the hell is the corridor?
Those are just a few of the holes in the logic of this movie.
This was a very poorly told story with incredibly shoddy editing. You will have more fun watching white paint dry in low light.
