[sandbender]

Just spotted this...

In short, the USA falls apart because of a computer virus. A bunch of yuppies head to the home of their mate who had previously decided to live off the grid in Northern California.

Will it be any good? Probably not. However some valuable lessons just from the trailer...

Don't build your cabin to survive the end of the world in a place where the locals don't like you.
Don't build your solar power equipped cabin with a basement full of food in a place where the military authorities might think "we should put out headquarters here".
Maybe don't tell your yuppie mates where you live when you pack in the rat race to live of the grid and survive the end of the world as we know it.

Looks to me like Hollywood Bolleaux!

Just reading your description turned me off it

As a corrective try this understated Irish PA film

Pretentious little cliche of a film. The lack of originality of the plot is one of the best things about it - it is a plot that could have some redeeming features - were it not for the wooden acting, pedestrian pace and woeful direction. Watch some paint dry instead.

Ha ha don't hold back BR tell it like it is 😀😃😉

 

[boatman]

Felt much the same the first time I watched it Red but a second viewing adjusted me to its pace and it is the seeming trivia that makes it much more real. After all in a PA situation what would you know of what was happening elsewhere?

This is How I Live Now follows a similar trait in that respect. Wasn't half bad apart from the Twilight-esq love sludge.

A slow starting film but not that bad. For me a download but don't buy film.

Can you recommend a 'prepper' film?

"Tremors" the one and only one!
Gotta love Bert!

Oh yes, I loved that movie.

The Darling Buds of May. Pop Larkin strikes me as a hardcore prepper. No bank account, always pays cash, grows his own food and barns full of kit.

 

[British Red]

So very true Swallow

You just have to love H.E.Bates, he wrote some great stuff; a man with an instinctive understanding of the old country ways. I can thoroughly
recommend the My Uncle Silas series of short stories, well worth the effort to get hold of, or go to the library if you still have one!

 

[Oakleaf]

John Fenna - hat off to you. Tremors! One of those great moments when something comes on the telly, you have no idea what it is and you are very pleasantly surprised.

 

[Trojan]

Oh yes, I loved that movie.

Me to- geat film!
