5.0 out of 5 stars Should have been a major-release!

Disturbing and wonderful at the same time.... The only reason I can possibly imagine that this didn't make it to the big-screen world-wide is because it didn't involve someone like Bruce Willis or Jude Law - but Reedus and Hounsou sell it like no other.

If there is any doubt in anyone's mind reading this as to whether or not this is worth the buy: prepare to drop your jaw in awe of the raw humanity displayed within - the insanity, the personal relation to the characters' struggle with eachothers' perspective, the horrible psychological implications of what reality vs. fantasy can offer us, the viewer - it's all present, and the hour-and-a-half spent watching this was fully worth it; I wouldn't ask for a minute of my time on earth back, spent in viewing this.

Granted, Reedus's character's persona *is* similar to his TWD persona - but any stoicism possessed therein is quite lost at the height of the story this movie relates; his insanity would be anyone's, at the revelation about his co-worker's actions, as the suspense builds to it's climax. No one would be forgiving, placed in his situation.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as interesting as it's trailer

Not as interesting as the trailer makes it seem.Only 3 people in the ENTIRE movie. It built up and made you think it was going to be a realy interesting story.It was based imo off of Blake Crouch's books/tv show "Wayward Pines". But then after the first 20 minutes it was non stop boredom.Even when the only action to happen was going on it was still boring.This is not a good movie to spend $6.00 on. Maybe 2.99. but not the asking price it is now. I can't tell people to rent/buy this.You would be wasting money. It did hold my attention - but only because I kept hoping I'd not wasted my money and it would get better.But it didn't.

I've read reviews that complained that this movie wasn't suspenseful enough, that it was too slow or that the twists were obvious but my husband and I were riveted. We kept on missing dialog because we couldn't stop commenting on things. I took this movie as a psychological thriller and it really worked on that level. What was driving these two men to do what they were doing was fascinating to watch unfold and after the movie was over it generated a lively conversation between us about them. Very well acted by both Reedus and Hounsou. I really cared about both of them. Wish I could have seen it on a big screen but it was only released in 15 theaters nationwide. If it ever comes around my area I will definitely go see it again though.

It isn't one of your action pack movies, its not suppose to be, it entertains the idea of dooms day bunkers, and what it might be like, at least one or so person's idea of such a event, the acting is top shelf, characters are believable, the scenes detailed and thought out, every thing, top to bottom well thought out and done, can't say enough good things about this movie, if the theme isn't a kind of story that interest you, I can see why some might call this movie boring, its not meant to be exciting, but thought provoking, a window into such things, anyways, well worth the watch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Taught, Suspenseful, Character-Driven Science Fiction
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2015

AIR starts out tense, and just keeps ratcheting it up. No jump scares or spectacular effects are needed to keep you on the edge of your seat - just the tension between two great actors and a scenario that takes the "ticking clock" to a new level. Norman Reedus gets to do some more serious acting here than he does on The Walking Dead, and does it with conviction. Djimon Huntsu deliers a subtle and solid performance even if he doesn't have as much to do. First time director, and screenwriter Christian Cantamessa is a giant in the video game business, having led the design for the masterpiece that is Red Dead Redemption, and his talents clearly translate to film. I'd wager that we're going to see great things from him in soon.

2.0 out of 5 stars "Is it over yet?"
Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2016
Verified Purchase
I was very disappointed and kind of Glad when the end came. The theme of this movie is defenitly post apocalyptic and the story line was (excuse the pun) fresh, in that it looked at a possibility that hasn't really been covered by other post apocalyptic writers but It was for me like viewing a low budget film and after looking at these two interact on the same set for 98% of the film I was glad to see this one end. I felt the two main characters were very mismatched and the film doesn't give really any background into either one of them like what qualified either one to have the job they were given to start with leaving the viewer as well as he characters kind of thrown into the script and once you figured out what they were doing and why everything kind of goes downhill from there with very little drama or action. Norman Reedus played his character much as he plays Daryl from the walking dead and even left his hair the same and dressed the same ( minis the angle wing
vest) . Also this guy Hounsou who seem to put very little if any heart into his roll was really a boar to watch and frankly I think would do better playing the part of a silent bouncer in the corner of a bar that a camera might happen to pan across once or twice in any other film. The only thing that made me happy about this film is the fact I rented it before I decided to by it but even then I felt I paid way to much. All in all, It gave me the same feeling i get after going thru a McDonald's drive thru and getting home to learn the large container of fries I paid for was only half full and there were no fries in the bottom of the bag. Sorry Norman, but you should stick to fighting the dead instead of trying to bring life to an already dead film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great post-apocalyptic, Sci-Fi, Thriller and a Must if you are a fan of Norman Reedus!

I really enjoyed this movie! Norman Reedus is an excellent actor and he really does a stellar job in this one. The way it was written, directed, and filmed was all very believable and you could get into the feel of what the characters were going through. I like the dark and hopelessness of this post-apocalyptic world where its basically just two guys living underground trying to stay sane and save man kind in what seems to be a very dismal situation. I think this movie speaks volumes of the talent involved in its making. I really wanted to watch it in the theaters but it was nice enjoying it from my living room and now that I own it I will watch it over and over again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spannender Katastrophenfilm der auf Schauspieler statt CGI setzt
Reviewed in Germany on August 26, 2019

Full Disclaimer: ich bin ein großer Fan von Norman Reedus und liebe Sci-Fi Katastrophenfilme.
Ich finde den Film dementsprechend spitze!

Wir treffen die beiden Protagonisten 6 Monate nach der globalen Katastrophe. Was eigentlich passiert ist erfahren wir nur am Rande und aus alten Videoaufzeichnungen.
Was den Film unglaublich stark macht ist, dass er mit nur 3 Darstellern auskommt, und auch nicht auf Spezialeffekte setzt. Stattdessen wird die Katastrophe von der menschlichen Seite beleuchtet. Bauer (Norman Reedus) und sein Kollege Cartwright (Djimon Hounsou) sind 2 ganz normale Männer. Ihre Aufgabe ist es eine Elite an Wissenschaftlern zu beschützen, die solange in Tiefschlaf versetzt werden, bis die Erde wieder bewohnbar wird. Dafür erwachen die beiden alle 6 Monate für 1.5 Stunden um nach dem rechten zu sehen und ein paar technische Aufgaben zu erledigen. Beide Männer haben sich für diese Aufgabe freiwillig gemeldet, über die Motive und den Hintergrund der beiden erfahren wir in Gesprächen, dazu möchte ich nichts verraten.

Die beiden Schauspieler sind super und die Geschichte ist spannend, denn natürlich geht einiges in diesen 1.5 Stunden schief.

Der Schluss schwächelt für meinen Geschmack etwas, trotzdem ist der Film besonders für Fans des Genres ein Leckerbissen, der sich erfrischend von den großen Hollywoodblockbustern absetzt und auf leise zwischenmenschliche Töne und Schauspieler statt CGI setzt.
