The last survivors otherwise known as The Well I discovered endlessly searching for something new on Netflix. The poster of this movie is horrible, it's like the distribution company is trying to market it as a teen survival movie ala Hunger Games, Maze Runner. This film is nothing like that. It's a slow burn indie film about a horrible future where there is hardly any water. The cast is made up of teenagers and even children. I found this aspect of a survival post apocalypse movie to be quite interesting. We know that these children didn't have a chance to be children. The situation demanded for them to grow up and learn how to survive. The Villain is typical megalomaniac attempting to purge everyone from stealing his water by going to farm to farm killing almost everyone. The hope in the film comes from looking for a distributor cap for a small airplane so they can leave and go, um… Not sure where they're going? We know nothing of the world except from this localized desert. This movie has a lot of flaws, some ify writing mixed with some plot twists that may not fully satisfy. However the movie, for what it is, is very good and entertaining. I cared for the characters and wanted to know what was going to happen. What happens in the end may not amuse everyone, but I found it to be pretty solid. For a movie I've never heard of I was quite impressed.

Very boring and uneventful, that much so that i created this account to leave my first ever review. Very slow and uneventful with an uninteresting story. Most of the film involves the main character scurrying around abandoned houses in the desert hiding from some people with guns. Does not deserve 5 stars at all more like 1 star

This movie has one of the most lame plots that I have ever seen. People are living in a valley somewhere where it hasn't rained in four years and some nuts thinks it is his valley so he is killing everyone. There is no hint to explain why it hasn't rained in four years, why the people don't just leave the valley or where the government services went. The acting is neither good nor bad; there just isn't much of an opportunity to really act. The scenery is desolate and the buildings are pretty much just ratty abandoned shacks. The camera work and technical stuff is good, but just a waste of time. Hopefully we'll see those involved show up in a more interesting plot somewhere down the line.

The way we see the future is really depressing most of the times. Even if it's a great movie like "Mad Max Fury Road", it's very dark (dusty and dry too). As is the case with this low budget movie. It might have its issues along the way, but for its budget it is more than just decently made. Surviving in a hostile environment is not easy. Especially if you have bad guys like the ones in this movie. Still you long for the standoff you know will be coming, sweating along the way (sorry for the pun) and really feeling for the main character and what she has to go through. Which is a nice touch to have a female character being in the middle of all of this.

Direction: fine; Acting: decent; Cinematography: good; Plot: WORTHLESS I stuck it out till the end but alas, no plot was forthcoming beyond just: girl trying to survive in post-apocalyptic desert and fighting greedy murderous bad guys who are stealing everyone's water. SPOILER: In the end, she kills them. That's essentially it: done, finished. Well there is this flawed subplot where she's scavenging distributor caps from wrecked cars so she can fix this airplane and she and her sick boyfriend and some little kid can go... where? Who knows, or really cares. Oh and also, AIRPLANES DON'T HAVE DISTRIBUTORS THEY HAVE MAGNETOS, so no way that would work. I wouldn't bring it up except they kind of make a big deal about that. Why not pick some other thing that could be interchangeable or at least adaptable (generator maybe?) Oh well I suppose it's moot given the lack of a worthwhile plot.
