Prediction: The Colony
Shiri’s Prediction: I predict me living in one of those towers in a frozen Hell before I see this movie. I love Lawrence Fishburne. In so, so many ways. But I don’t think even he can salvage… whatever this is. I’m not sure if the baddies are ice zombies or cannibals or ice zombie cannibals. And quite frankly, I don’t give a shit. Even if they’re Reavers, excuse me, Reaver-like, I don’t give a shit. There has got to be a way to make a decent post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie. This is not it. There may only be so many stories in the world, but there are an infinite number of ways to tell them. Why do we keep coming back to the same-old, same-stale crap? And write some decent dialogue, for Apollo’s sake. Just because one is stranded on dead earth in the snow and being attacked by ice zombie cannibals doesn’t necessitate one’s being reduced to cliches.
Luke’s Prediction: Sadly, this is not a prediction as I have already seen this movie. It has a fun cast and some ideas here and there, but was pretty dull and forgettable in the end. Shiri hit it pretty much on the head. Nothing to see here, move along.
