Allan C @RT15713161 2 days ago God Save the Last Survivors A tough, action-packed, and under-appreciated British post-apocalyptic thriller about a family fighting its way through a countryside descending into chaos after a deadly viral outbreak. Its surprisingly brutal violence and unsettling questions about morality versus survival make it a fascinating precursor to films like The Road Warrior and 28 Days Later, even if its stiff-upper-lip characters sometimes seem a little too stoic for the end of the world.

No it's not Scorsese or Spielberg-level filmmaking, but it is a harsh slap across the face about how society breaks down during widespread disaster, unleashing survival instincts that normally have been kept at bay. See more Tony P @RT68228797 Oct 27, 2024 Cornel Wilde's eco-catastrophe movie is tough throughout, and witty at times, but tends to be boring. The flash-forwards, intended to build suspense, give the movie a haphazard feel; the pacing should have been more direct. Still, it's an interesting period piece, made at a time when it seemed that overpopulation and pollution might collapse global civilization within a few years. See more Daniel C. M @RT91944882 Sep 29, 2024 The bloodiest and sickest cautionary tale you will ever see; filled to the brim with both dry and dark humor. The acting is laughable bad at times but the effects are pretty good. There are some very questionable directing choiches here and there, specially with the flash fowards, and the pacing is pretty bad with a inflated runtime. However, even with all i said, you NEED to see this movie at least once in your life. It is WILD and everything is so exaggerated you will still have a good time.

We hear a lot about it occurring in other countries, and speculation about it being about to happen at home, but the British seem to find each other particularly unappetising. Cornell Wilde was an activist director, intent on convincing his audiences that the world was going pear-shaped in a hurry, and he was not big on subtlety. Unfortunately, the audience expects not just social commentary but also entertainment, and despite a lot of shooting and explosions and murders and rapes, the film suffered from some wooden dialogue and irritating flash-forwards which extinguished any suspense.
