The Domestics (2018)
1/10
Beyond terrible
16 August 2018
I'm really beginning to think that a lot of the reviews on IMDB are by the filmmakers family and friends. I don't see how anyone could rate this silliness beyond a 1. A little movie review. Recently I watched 2018 Post-Apocalyptic movie called "The Domestics." Let me be honest here, it should have been called The Dumbestics. It's everything I hate in a Post-Apocalyptic movie. Most of all, it's a movie where there's no logic at all. This is a problem with most films of this type. First, we learn that the US Government has gassed most of the populace, killing off 97 percent of the populace. 97 percent! Yet there are all kinds of gangs running about. There's no kind of timeline, so we don't know how long things have progressed. The main characters are a husband and wife whose marriage is on the collapse. So to save it, they head to Milwaukee where her parents are. They run into and get out of many problems - problem is - none of it's believable. In a space of about four days, wife goes from nimrod barely able to survive, to valkyrie. There's a mystery woman who saves them time and again before she... no that would be telling. Finally, like most films that really annoy me - it just ends. There's also an annoying as hell Radio announcer (much like the 70's film Vanishing Point). It's just a dull mish-mosh of ideas with very little thought behind it. It's like a paint by numbers of how NOT to do a post-apocalyptic movie.
