This could have been good. It wasn't, as one of the other reviewers claims, a lack of money that saw this movie end up smashing into the rocks; it was plain old lack of a script editor.
Unfortunately the story goes on far too long and has too many contradictions. There are some set pieces with dialogue, if on their own, would have been fine but in the context of the rest of the film were either contradictory or meaningless. For example, the ability to accurately pinpoint and/or communicate with people who are on the outside of the bunker is either impossible or completely doable depending on which scene was being shown.
Some of the dialogue was just ridiculous ("This isn't how it ends!" exclaims one character as they're about to all die. "Are you alright?" says another to a man she's seen sick for the past 20 minutes) - although in the context of the bad storyline it's a minor flaw.
Overall, the movie looks promising but once you get past the first 30 minutes you'll find it slows and becomes boring and nonsensical.
A shame. 2 stars for trying.
And please - if this is the first in the trilogy - get a script editor for the next two!
