A squandering of talent

Z FOR ZACHARIAH is an entirely boring post-apocalyptic movie based on a famous sci-fi novel. It manages to waste the entire premise thanks to the rural setting and the decision to cut all of the interesting material from the book, leaving it flaccid and devoid of incident. The story involves three survivors in a cabin after some kind of worldwide devastation; they argue, bond, and fall in love, and inevitably jealousy tears them apart. This whole film feels small-scale and low-key, with uninteresting and unlikeable characters. It's a pity as both Chris Pine and Chiwetel Ejiofor have done fine work elsewhere so seeing them in this feels like they're squandering their talents.

The valley at the edge

Z for Zachariah is a dark, dystopian book of a young girl in a post apocalyptic valley who finds a man wandering around in a strange protective suit who eventually turns hostile.

The book was turned into a television film in 1984 starring Anthony Andrews and it was a grim, slightly disturbing piece (full frontal nudity from Andrews for a start!)

This movie version has a similar premise but increased the age of girl to a young religious woman. Margot Robbie is Ann, Chiwetel Ejiofor is John the man who arrives in a nuclear suit but introduces a third character with Chris Pine as Caleb who later arrives in the valley and this allows for a love triangle set up.

The edgy, dystopian even disturbing premise of the book and TV movie is lost here. Very little happens, there is almost no sinister subtext apart from jealousy rearing its head when it becomes clear that both men are in love with Ann. Even the conclusion is left open ended.

Itis a shame really as the film wastes its cast and is a shoddy adaptation of a well known book.

Boring

This is the most tedious post apocalyptic film I've ever watched. I wouldn't waste your time on it. The acting was OK but not riveting. I found myself nearly falling asleep wondering when something exciting would happen...it never did. Even the love triangle was obvious and just uncomfortable. Didn't feel any real chemistry between the characters. The whole scenario and setting was not believable. The scenery was gorgeous but nice scenery does not a good film make and certainly does not convince that any kind of catastrophe has happened. I would have watched a documentary if I just wanted nice scenery. Very very unthrilling stuff. My husband and I just looked at each other when it finished and said "Was that it?!!"
