Rab Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 http://youtube.com/watch?v=UZKRid97mVI&feature=related Liked the look of this - post apocalyptic Glasgow, wondered how different it'd look - so went and seen it with the bird at the weekend. Started off not bad, Scotland is walled off because of a deadly virus, lot's of people trying to cross the border, soldiers under orders to shoot on sight etc, etc. Degenerated badly after that. I won't spoil the plot, but the film is very, very gruesome. Lot's of blood, violence, graphic cannibalism - and a bunny being shot. Basically a big mix of Mad Max, Escape from New York, The Road Warrior and a few other films. After an hour, she had had enough and wanted to leave. I would have stayed, but wasn't exactly bothered about missing the rest of it. Sure it'll appeal to some tastes, but wasn't for me - avoid.

Pfft, that doesnt look anywhere near as bad as Glasgow actually is!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Harris Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 rather than the cliched tribal tattooed style of most post-apocalyptic films they could have really done something more fitting to the glasgow culture. you've already got all the gang/young team stuff present, if they had just turned that up to the extreme to fit with the circumstances then that would have worked well. Even having a Celtic/Rangers element to some of the gang dynamics would have been interesting. The flaws of Glasgow are ripe for some quality post-apocalypic chaos - seems this opportunity has been missed to rehash the same old style of just about ever doomsday film since mad-max.
