The Colony (2021)

I love sci-fi. This isn't it. A dreary look on a not so possible future. No color. Unrealistic science. Underdeveloped and unrealistic characters. Slow moving and boring.

Fmovies: I thought this movie was excellent. Emotionally charged and well paced. It is driven by powerful archetypes and looks into perhaps our not so distant future. Worth the watch and had me asking is there a sequel coming? The lead actress is fantastic.

I saw the reviews for this movie and the negative reviews almost drove me off. Don't let them! This is raw sci fi at its best. I was thoroughly impressed by this film. Very good and a must watch.

The Colony fmovies. Lots of Water, Rust and Beaches and fog. Could do with subtitles here and there but overall a watchable movie.

A solid sci fi film. Cinematography was great, acting was good. As others have noted various plot points have been done before but what film doesn't do this? Fairly slow-paced but still holds your attention.

Is it reminiscent of other sci-fi dystopian flicks that came before it? Yes, but so what. Everything in life is a bit derivative or reminiscent of something else. Personally, I enjoyed the casting, the actors and the acting, combined with the cinematography...as an artistic take on the genre. A bit of an art-house indie version of a sci-fi trope if you will, by comparison with big budget studio productions, which sometimes fall short of late by relying on one or two big name actors to carry them. Aside from Iain Glen, I wasn't familiar with the cast, but they not only performed well, but were relatable and won me over. I didn't mind that the script was light on plot and dialog, but the ending felt rushed. I'd rather they'd have taken their time and added 20 minutes or so to the final cut. Still, the imagery was lovely and the main actress both lovely and powerful.

MORE art-house indie sci-fi with larger casts, please!
