I see that movie as a failed chance. The basic story is solid good from the beginning on, the acting is not bad. I like the effects and the ending, but in-between it has serious logical errors, get's too cheesy at a few moments and the music is sometimes over the top. The message is ok, but at some points it seems to be constructed with a common set of story elements, which are used in other movies. That happens especially when it comes close to the end. For me as a movie dude it feels like I saw those in another version earlier with other actors. I think if they would have spent a little more money for a better script, it could have been more delightful. The idea of this movie is good.
I would recommend it for people who like environmental scifi movies and who didn't see many of them.

Basically Good, but Awfully Bad Logic Fails and Plot Holes
I'm Australian, and wish we could make better films than this.
This was going to get two stars but the very ending of the film is pretty good. The middle, oh my. It consists mostly of a useless main character and his buddy running around. If I genuinely cared for any of the characters in the first place I might go back and figure out exactly what was meant to be going on with them,
despite the lack of character development related to communicating their friendship to the audience, which would get us to feel their bond in a deep down way and engage better with them.
The main character is difficult to root for because he is sniveling much of the time and not able to work anything out... until the very end, which as stated, is excellent.
The young boy in this was the most believable performer. The adults... hmm.
Better direction and casting are needed here.
The creators could have done a bit of chemistry research. In the film we have 'artificial' oxygen which is somehow toxic compared to 'regular' oxygen. Guys, Oxygen is Oxygen however the heck it is made. Mix it with the right ratio of gasses, you have air. Did the people in 2067 forget there are three forms of oxygen or the like? If toxic, it's no big feat with the tech we have right now to work out why. Then extract the toxin, pathogen or non-diatomic molecules and presto, the air will be good for all. Why was this not done, or tried? Also, it's air we breathe, not just oxygen. Breathing Oxygen only will kill you.
Tears Tears Tears
Never ever came across a sci-fi with people shedding tears almost in every other scene. A bit over the top 'emotional weight' quotient I'd say! You'll know when you see it.
A bit interesting in parts. Visuals of apocalyptic+future earth are definitely super good. A one time watch on a lazy afternoon
