10,000 Days (2014)

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Just by reading the films opening lines I knew we were in for a bad time. A comet colliding with our planet knocks it out of its orbit and further away from the sun, turning it into rather chilly place to live, a lot like Antartica on a bad day. In reality of course, such an impact would have reduced our planet to a pile of orbiting gravel, useful only for an alien rockery. Anyway, I decided to stop looking for reality and being critical and instead just try to go with it. I failed. I got up and made a cuppa. After that I fed the dogs. Then I checked my emails. I looked up and the movie was still running unfortunately. I washed up the cups, went on YouTube and learned how to stop the alarm going off on my watch, quiet useful actually as it was going off at 9:30 every night. I looked back at the film which then quiet inexplicably started to look interesting and 10 seconds later equally inexplicably ended. I would have said it was a total waste of time, but I did fix my watch, so for that I score it 1 out of 10.

This movie starts out fairly decent. Think Hatfields vs McCoys on desolate ice post doom days. Unfortunately, it is the worst cliff hanger ever. I was waiting for the words "to be continued" to roll across the screen and even looked to see if I was supposed to flip the disk over for part two or something. This movie literally stops in the middle of filming like they ran out of budget to finish it or something. I've heard of leaving endings up to the viewer but this was ridiculous. I liked the characters. I understood where they were attempting to go with it. The filming is low budget but acceptable. The total disregard to end the story or hint at a sequel is seriously disappointing.

This has got to be close to one of the worse films I have ever seen and could not cope with watching all of it as it was so bad. It could have been so much better as the base storyline is not too bad. The script was very dull and amateur and the characters very weak, how it ever got released is a mystery to me.Disjointed scenes all over the place jumped from one subject to another. I left watching it to do ironing which I hate but it was better than having to watch the rest of this film.Don't waste your time watching it go do something more entertaining. If this film made any money I would be surprised.

Well this is a very poor movie. The story revolves around a new ice age following cometary impact and the scenario has two themes. A romeo and Juliet situation and whether the world will warm up. The latter has two options either a natural event or a deliberate intervention using nuclear weapons, access to which the survivors acquire through their discovery of air force one. However none of this is resolved, the lovers are still in warring families, the nucs are never launched but still threaten and two young people set off to find a warmer land walking right out of the script. This is one of those stories where the writer has envisaged a situation but really has no idea what could happen to make it interesting. The movie simply ends in the middle resolving nothing. I see another reviewer threatens a sequel... I don't think so because I think they simply ran out of ideas. In my opinion Movies that don't have a start a story and an end should simply never be made. Sadly this one was and as a viewer I feel cheated.
