Robert J @RockSteady 6d Long—fell asleep a few times. Strange ending. Artsy types might enjoy it, but not worth paying money or spending two hours on for most people. Not memorable. See more Esteban J @Esteban_J14 Aug 19 A misleading synopsis promises an impenetrable bunker, but Take Shelter fails to deliver a survival film, presenting one of the weakest shelters on screen. The pacing is excruciatingly slow. Critics claim the deaf daughter subplot adds financial tension, ignoring the script: his insurance covered her treatment. Driven only by premonitions, not money, this subplot is completely unnecessary and adds nothing meaningful to the story. The narrative drags so heavily that the sole reason to finish it is to discover if his visions are real or just in his mind. The entire film relies on a payoff crammed into the final three minutes, leaving the rest of the runtime feeling completely empty. The film earns its 1.5 stars strictly for the acting. Both leads deliver incredibly solid, grounded performances. Unfortunately, great acting isn't enough to save a movie where almost nothing happens until the very end, despite what experts try to justify.

I stuck with it hoping that it would get better, but it was so boring and the ending was a let down. Find something else to watch. Dont take notice of the high reviews. I think they were drunk or high when they watched it haha See more Mel T @MelonEarth Jul 24 I cannot believe anyone was entertained by a movie where someone slowly goes nuts, and nothing happens. It is BORING. It's not interesting watching an unlikeable character go mental. I don't believe people actually got any enjoyment from that. There are no spoilers in this review because NOTHING HAPPENS. See more Read all reviews
