This movie is 2 1/4 hours of sheer boredom. It had 2 hours of repetitive garbage to get to 15 minutes of meaningful content. I fell asleep for 20 minutes and missed absolutely nothing! The visuals were OK, not great. The script was about 2 hours to long and pretended to be insightful but was just boring. The acting was just OK. I am not sure how this movie ever won any awards to be honest with you. Also, if you are going to watch it, be aware it is HEAVY on religion. Overall, this is one stinker of a movie that should be avoided at all costs, even if there is nothing else to watch. Not worth your time!

This movie was really disappointing as it was slow-movie, had maybe 10 minutes of actual action and had long stretches of Christian-themed dialogue and narration...and when I say long stretches, I really mean that. Oh, and frequent ones too.

I don't have an issue with a Christian movie per se, but it is not one I or the others in my group wanted to watch. I actually looked at the film synopsis during the movie to see if I had missed it when I read about it and it isn't mentioned--and it really should be--since it is really the main focus of the movie. I was expecting a dystopian survival drama and instead watched a religious movie that could have really had any theme but just so happened to have a dystopian one. There was even some Libertarian political messaging in it.

The cinematography was good but it began to wear on you after awhile because there was a lot and it became pretty "samey". I didn't really have very high expectations going into the movie but it was actually worse than I thought it was going to be.

This movie might be what some are looking for, but it certainly isn't for most people. Is there a Christian SciFi genre? I don't know, but if that's your jam, then you may like it but don't expect it to be action-packed.

The photography was exceptional; the settings were realistic for a dystopian situation. Hilda, Alberta served well (as in the community coming together) in making it seem like a run down existence.

The monologues were well written and the main roles were well acted but some minor actor deliveries were stilted. The editing was intriguing (moving back and forth in time). However the story was thin; the movie was too long.

Cyril Anderst had less of a role than he did in "Where Were We in '63" and the same amount of dialogue. The same old house was in the movie but in one scene it burned down; it won't be in any future films.
