The Divide (film) - Apocalyptic flick

[Neil]

This looks interesting...

[Tricia Martin]

Wow! Definitely looks like it's gonna' be pretty damn good.

[AcesandEights]

Whoah! Looks like my cup of apocalypse. Nice cast, too!

another film that suffers from 90210 syndrome, where only fit and attractive people survive...looks kinda interesting, i suppose.

another film that suffers from 90210 syndrome, where only fit and attractive people survive...looks kinda interesting, i suppose. I.E. - this film was made in Hollywood. But you're absolutely right, it seems more and more often that only model-worthy people survive any type of apocalyptic situation. If you're average looking you're basically screwed (unless they are casting extras for Mad Max, as an exception to the rule). With that said, this does look pretty good otherwise. This is one of the first films I have saved for the Third Annual Halloween Horror Marathon for 10/31/12 this year ("Take Shelter" is also on the list). j.p.

Select cities? I'd like to be one of those. Looks good.

I think it looks properly bad-ass, but I hate Milo Vetimiglia..

You may notice an advertising campaign for the film here on HPotd over the next few days

Anyone seen this yet?

It had a limited release back in January in the US. Box Office Mojo doesn't even have it listed so it must have been a very limited release. It will be in theaters in the UK on April 20th. The US DVD release date is April 17th. another film that suffers from 90210 syndrome, where only fit and attractive people survive Who wants to watch a film with fat guys and ugly girls. Movies are an escape from reality.

I saw it last year and really enjoyed it, some great performances from the cast and overral a very well told story. Has an amazingly effective opening that pulls you in straight away. And while some of the cast may be pretty they don't stay that way for long

[AcesandEights]

Finally got around to seeing this. A pretty unrelenting film once it starts to really get rolling. I also have to agree with Knighty above on a well turned in effort by most of the cast.

Michael Biehn's in it? I'm sold - will have to check it out - surprised that this totally flew under my radar until just now!

Michael Biehn's in it? I'm sold - will have to check it out - surprised that this totally flew under my radar until just now! I'll be interested to hear your opinion, MZ. The film has not gotten very solid reviews on the whole, and I actually was unsure of Biehn's performance. I like the guy and he can command a scene fairly well, but I'm not sure if he oversold his role, or I was failing to look past my familiarity with him and his other work. Also there are matters of very open ended plot elements and the like in the film and a question as to whether the final product stands on its own as a substantive film, or is more about shock. Still, though, I enjoyed and was intrigued by it.
