Review of The Colony

The Colony (I) (2013)
7/10
Better than mediocre
11 August 2013
It's an OK science-fiction film, certainly better than common syfy quality, but it drags. You could easily shorten it to an hour or less and keep all the important parts of the story in. So maybe wait for the DVD to skip the boring parts.

There is no tension as the film gives you stereotypes, obvious expandable characters and token bad guys. The actors do pull of well made stereotypes that all have some sort of back-story to them, but you really don't need to know of. The atmosphere of the world is nice, even though the CGI is on par to video games. If you can look past all that, it's a nice film to kill the time.
