Review of The Remaining (2014) by Sean D — 03 Feb 2016

More cookie cutter characters in a disaster film? Yup. Who's sick and tired of overly happy and perfect beginning of films for 5 to 10 films and then the rest of the film is straight drama with whining white people? I am. You know if half of the idiots from other races out there stopped complaining about white movies and actually stopped making cookie cutter love films themselves and actually branched out into other genres, we may actually have more variety than to be forced to endure medicore films like this.

Again, another generic plot with the replacement of weather or zombies with the Rapture in the 2010 decade, this plot has beaten to death for some reason. At least the others are spoofs. Character development that we don't care for is galore in this film. I'm sick of people's petty problems only coming out during drama and that director's feel it is a good excuse to take up valuable screen and plot real estate. It's really not acceptable, as it has nothing at all to do with the plot of the film and really doesn't help further the storyline at all.

The women are the highlights of this film. These are some of the least petty women you'll ever see. But their problem is that they are too quiet and don't really make any suggestions as to what they should do. 9 million characters go through a God crisis and as annoying as it may be, it's required for the plot. It's just a very subpar film.
