Marina Antunes [Celluloid 07.30.21] post apocalyptic scifi



Tim Fehlbaum and Roland Emmerich are back together again for another post-apocalyptic nightmare.


Following up their 2011 release Hell which we called "heaven for PA fans," the pair have reunited for The Colony.


Starring Nora Arnezeder (Army of the Dead), Sarah-Sofie Boussnina (Nightfall), and Iain Glen (Resident Evil: Extinction), the movie tells the story of humanity returning to Earth generations after leaving the planet due to cataclysmic conditions. Things in the stars haven't been great and reproduction has become a problem so the solution is to return to Earth to see if conditions have improved and if humanity can continue in the now mostly submerged world.

Cue "The 100" vibes: there are survivors and they're not too keen on the returning party.




The trailer for The Colony might reveal a tad too much of the story but overall, it looks like it may be a promising bit of sci-fi with, as one might expect, some really excellent visual effects.


Plus the prospect of a female hero is always of interest.


The Colony will be available in theatres, VOD, and digital on August 27.

I recall that one. As to this one, it was listed around the web as "Tides" and was released around the first week in July.
