I have to admit that when I read that the movie was set to take place during the aftermath of an apocalyptic event, I was a bit thrilled and interested in watching this 2021 movie from writer and director Oliver Milburn.

And so I did.

But the movie wasn't really what I had hoped for. Sure, "School's Out Forever" was watchable, but this was just a movie that ended up being too mundane and bland. It was essentially the storyline that failed to entertain me, as I had expected a bit more from the movie than what it turned out to be.

Initially the movie started out alright and it seemed to be heading in the right way as the apocalyptic event started to take place, but then writer and director Oliver Milburn sent the movie on a journey down a sloped hill; a journey from which "School's Out Forever" never bounced back. The story settled into a slump and ended up being nothing more than mediocre actually.

It should be noted, though, that the acting performances in the movie were definitely good from everyone on the cast list. So that was certainly something that carried the movie a great long way. And the characters that the actors and actresses had to work with were well enough detailed and fleshed out. Just a shame that the storyline itself sort of sank into the mud and never got back on track.

Ultimately, while I managed to sit through the entire ordeal that is "School's Out Forever", then this wasn't a noteworthy or memorable movie experience. It was watchable, yeah, but that was essentially all there was to it.

My rating of the 2021 movie "School's Out Forever" lands on a very bland and mediocre five out of ten stars.

With heavy pandemic issues in real time and a rather rusty filmindustry, this is a progress on moviemaking that i hope will proceed in the years to come...

its a apocalyptic drama where a virus, seemingly much more deadly than the corona variants we're dealing with in situ, more like the black plague kind of disease is my guess. its played out at a ''private school'' for boys with posh students and rather old fashion administrative structures and orders. its a pretty locked up, closed fence society with little input from the outer world, so when one of the students gets expelled for pranking the schools property, he is met with societal decay and selfjustice due to pandemic panic and has to protect his own home and ill father with anything at hand. eventually he gets back to the school premises where the fortification of the school has already begun.

its a film about inner justice, prowling,vigilantees murder as selfdefence and murder to survive. its also a film that creates and differs men from humans and heros from humans, and woman into monsters.

its a well acted movie , even though there are some pretty mediocre theater in periods, but that is more a lack of fantasy and a rigorious way of direction by the directors,writers and producers. so the acting rescources and loads of additional scientific material could have been used to make it even better, but when the tough gets going it gets hot, and ill admit that my shoulders were up under my ears at moments.

the squemish viewer will for surtain ask why, what, where and how come, e.g. howcome these students were immunized and not becoming ill after being in touch with the lepracons, and where is the governments task forces. its also an issue how to make an end to a story like this, i didnt like the finals, but it gives some opportunities for a sequeling update in the near future.

so one songs chimes in my ears after viewing thish british pandemic havoc, cause frankie goes to hollywood once sang'' when two tribes goes to war ,a point is all that you can score''. let this be the point as the grumpy old man gives a recommend. it is what it is, a progression in quality filmaking, done with a twist even though the generic replication here and there.

Troublemaker Lee Keegan gets kicked out of an all-boys private school. Soon after, the world is hit with an apocalyptic pandemic and only those who have O neg blood type survive. He goes back to the school to rendezvous with his mother who is trying to journey home.

I have a tough time rooting for anybody other than the nurse. First, the main kid is a brat. He's annoyingly whiney while trying to project boyish charms. His friend is a psychopath. The boys are mostly Lord-of-the-Flies proto-frat-boys. They spend their time drinking rather than preparing for the inevitable attack. Quite frankly, I'm surprised that they didn't rape the paralyzed prisoner. The teacher is pathetic and arrogant. I don't like most of these people. I do like the nurse's final act. I like some of the action. It would help if Lee is a more likeable character.
