I had some hope for this movie which had some great talent in it with Laurence Fishburne Bill Paxton Kevin Zegers all did a fine job.Some one said Bill Paxton acting was wooden well maybe that's how the part was written but what ever it's not really that important. The first half of this movie sets up a post apocalyptic world where every thing is frozen and the temperature hasn't risen in years.So their living in this big installation where they have to grown their own food and raise live stock.It's a place where the flu can be very deadly and they have to kill a few people to make sure the flu doesn't spread . This sets up a dire and bleak world . But the hope lies in some day finding a way to reverse some of the extreme weather.
In the middle of the movie they loose communications mysteriously with another colony close by . The mystery of the lose of communication is set up nicely and you wonder why they went dark. I wish we never found out because after traveling to the other colony (Both Laurence's character and Zegers along with a 3rd person)the movie breaks down into a stupid c horror film . Well the reason **spoiler alert** Is cannibals . These cannibals look like zombies for some reason with pointy teeth.It's explained latter that they are "feral humans" it seems that if humans go with out food for a period of time they turn into this ..WTF? what ever. Anyways the cannibals follow the Laurence's char and zegers back to their own colony well Laurence doesn't make it and sacrifices himself to save the others.Zegers unwittingly leads the feral humans to his colony. and that where it gets really stupid.
The ferals break into the colony so easily .I mean you guys had decades to prepare for an attack wouldn't they have shored up the doors and reinforced everything?But what ever. Th ferals are also magic it seems going thru vents and popping out of the cabinets to attack the humans . WTF again? How do these ferals know every nook and cranny of the installation better then the humans that were their almost half of their lives. Well anyways it's stupid and ends stupidly of course the ferals die not before they kill a bunch of humans that we don't care about.Including Paxton's character.Oh yeah they also located an area of green warmth on the map thats like a nirvana thats where the try to travel towards at the end. But at this point nobody cares.
