Did not think I would be so impressed, but it was very intelligently done

New Zealand must be a beautiful country. I've never seen a movie filmed there that was not.

It's a not so ironic setting for a movie about the end of the world, as the film focuses on the emotions of three survivors of the apocalypse instead of the apocalypse itself. A good Christian woman left behind by her family who went to help others. A man of science looking to move forward and rebuilt, and the all-American heart throb who rains on the parade.

Chiwetel Ejiofor gave a compelling performance. it was so real, I think the majority of us would understand what he's going through. I was shocked by how outstanding Chris Pine was in this movie, just perfect. Margot Robbie was amazing as well, just a solid piece of acting by all.

It made for the perfect emotional love triangle. Even though only three people appear in this movie, it said so much about us as a society. I love sci-fi and I want to count this as one of the great Sci-fi stories ever told from beginning to end, and the outcome leads an interesting taste in my mouth.

It was a fantastic 97mins at the movies.

The valley at the edge

Z for Zachariah is a dark, dystopian book of a young girl in a post apocalyptic valley who finds a man wandering around in a strange protective suit who eventually turns hostile.

The book was turned into a television film in 1984 starring Anthony Andrews and it was a grim, slightly disturbing piece (full frontal nudity from Andrews for a start!)

This movie version has a similar premise but increased the age of girl to a young religious woman. Margot Robbie is Ann, Chiwetel Ejiofor is John the man who arrives in a nuclear suit but introduces a third character with Chris Pine as Caleb who later arrives in the valley and this allows for a love triangle set up.

The edgy, dystopian even disturbing premise of the book and TV movie is lost here. Very little happens, there is almost no sinister subtext apart from jealousy rearing its head when it becomes clear that both men are in love with Ann. Even the conclusion is left open ended.

Itis a shame really as the film wastes its cast and is a shoddy adaptation of a well known book.

A squandering of talent

Z FOR ZACHARIAH is an entirely boring post-apocalyptic movie based on a famous sci-fi novel. It manages to waste the entire premise thanks to the rural setting and the decision to cut all of the interesting material from the book, leaving it flaccid and devoid of incident. The story involves three survivors in a cabin after some kind of worldwide devastation; they argue, bond, and fall in love, and inevitably jealousy tears them apart. This whole film feels small-scale and low-key, with uninteresting and unlikeable characters. It's a pity as both Chris Pine and Chiwetel Ejiofor have done fine work elsewhere so seeing them in this feels like they're squandering their talents.
