The Colony (I) (2013)

Worth the watch (once)

[7/10 · 26 July 2013]

****May Contain Spoilers***** This was actually a pretty decent flick. When I saw the preview it looked good, but I figured since it was a B flick it probably would turn out to be junk. From the beginning of the movie you can already guess what's going to happen, in the since that Bill Paxtons character, doesn't want to be second in command anymore, he wants to be in charge and do this his way. Now, the concept of the world freezing over and never stop snowing is pretty neat to think about, but to think that it only happened because the government made machines to alter the weather at their beck and call, just silly! Last is the zombie hoard, or whatever they are. First there's 20 or so, then about 10 to 12 die, then there's another 20 when they're crossing bridge. So when the bridge blows up another 15 or more die. THENNNN, when the zombie hoard finds colony 5 and starts to invade there's like 30 or more. At this point I start to realize Hollywoods being silly as usual. But the worst part was when Sam is fighting the big bad guy at the end and he smashes in the guys face at least 10 times with a lead pipe. Sam thinks the guy is dead and turns to walk away, only to have to bad guy grab his leg. UGGHHH!!! These zombie types are really only humans who went crazy, there's not a human on the planet who can live from 5 hits to the face with a pipe let alone 10. Overall, it was still decent enough to watch...

I actually liked this movie. I agree with what Dominic Purcells character stood for, and I rooted for him the entire time. He's kind of a modern day hero. I read most of the user reviews before I watched, and I was kind of ifey about watching it. But I must say, most of the users were pretty harsh on the movie and Uwe Boll, the director. Uwe Boll did a good job with this flick, Good characters, whom are all pretty well known actors, good locations, and great filmography. Although, there were a few scenes that made me shake my head and think, "Nope, wouldn't happen like that." Or, a scene just played out kind of silly, But overall, I enjoyed it and I would recommend it.
