  This is the best film that I've watched in a very long time. I love films like this 'end of the world' genre. The Americans do it well with CGI and ... read more »

  Typical Nasty Power guys
  
  I really enjoyed this film, my husband couldn't believe how evil people could become, lets hope this doesnt become a reality! I will watch it again.

  Bad Max
  
  A disappointing film, with an illogical plot, and a bad take on Mad Max and Resident evil.

  Made from offcuts
  
  This film seems to be made up of clips from other films - at least you feel you have seen it all before
