The Colony (I) (2013)
7/10
Did its job.
6 September 2013
Warning: Spoilers
For all the negatives i have read i must say; This was well produced and the acting was good, it moved at a good pace and for all its commercial considerations it delivered entertaining value. Certainly as compared to other films that missed the thrill target (Oblivion), i think this one held onto itself. It was a clean story that when supported by the "Scary" Bill Paxton and the determined Laurence Fishburne was well watchable. The VFX suited the budget range and served purpose well. The novelty of the real location and the technical undertaking of shooting in its extreme isolation, I salute all. It is hard to get those shoots done, i know! For the spoilers - Hindsight, always allow you to see another ending to a film!

So overall i give it a 7 as a film that will fill the gap nicely whilst you wait to gamble your money on the next £100m Hit or bomb, as they are these days!
