Review of Dystopia: 2013 (2012) by Alexander D — 16 Aug 2014

Late in the evening of December 21, 2012, four unlikely people hick the sack somewhere remote and underground: a basement, a cave, etc. At midnight they are awaken by earth tremors and lights, only to discover that the cities have been incinerated and most people killed.

Hunted by a mysterious biker gang, as they wander aimlessly trying to understand what has happened, they are brought face to face with the extremity of human evil. This low budget essay has vision but lacks lustre.

The filmography is engaging without being exceptional, but the low key acting and banal dialogue take longer to engage. Nevertheless, the film builds towards a conclusion that, while derivative, is satisfying.
