Alien at the Movies

2149: The Aftermath

In this future dystopian society after the Great War has supposedly poisoned the atmosphere, a young man, Darwin, has been confined to his sanctuary pod for 9 years since his mom left him there as a child. His world is controlled by a computer until a lightning storm causes a massive power failure & he is forced to venture outside to search his mom. He stumbles across another family living privately in the wild & hiding from the police cruiser drones. This simple low budget film is a statement about isolation, over dependence on technology, & putting too much trust in fear mongering misinformation. Is surviving in your sanctuary pod really living?

Alien gives it 3 “World Authority” stars out of 4.
