Review of The Colony

The Colony (I) (2013)
4/10
Nothing to see, move along

The premise is interesting. Mankind created machines to combat global warming which backfired and triggered an ice age. And even if you can suspend you disbelief so that even a million of these machines to do that, you're left with one after the other impossibilities that grate on you as you watch.

It's acted well, especially by L. Fishborn, but the directing and cinematography don't fit. The first half plays like an art film, the second like a heavy metal music video.

The event that sets the plot in motion is to its inevitable end is ridiculous.

On the plus, this is an evolution of the zombie film. Watching from that point of view, you might enjoy it.
