Arcadian (2024)
4/10
Ups and Downs
7 May 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Arcadian isn't that bad, but it doesn't fully realize its potential - to blame like many times these days is the script: we have some (lots of) issues with logic - why, after all those years, did the creatures decide to break through the ground now and not earlier? Also, the story feels like it's on autopilot: of course, our romancing teens survive (cringe-worthy - just as our Romeo is about to be punished, the creatures conveniently emerge from below to feast on the villain, but well, love conquers it all I read somewhere, so maybe the goddess Venus did intervene), while only the adults get killed. Furthermore, I found myself questioning how the brothers managed to survive for so long; as soon as they're introduced, they start fighting each other and making mistake after mistake. However, if you can switch off your questioning brain cells, you might find some entertainment value here. Recommended for die-hard fans of Mr. Cage and/or post-apocalyptic scenarios.
