Briley Kenney has written about technology and consumer electronics for nearly two decades. Starting in the days of yore, covering Blackberry, he has a vast array of bylines.
If you enjoy the story of"Red Dead Redemption," the plot beats in the"Manhunt" series, or the character writing in"Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor," then perk up. A film involving Christian Cantamessa, who wrote, designed, and/or directed content for all those game titles, is currently making its rounds on Amazon Prime Video.
"Air," a 2015 release written and directed by Cantamessa, is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi flick starring Norman Reedus, Djimon Hounsou, and Sandrine Holt. "Air" follows two survivors living in an underground bunker after a biochemical weapons disaster destroys most of the world. Everyone is essentially in cryo sleep, but maintenance crews routinely wake up to inspect and maintain the facility they live in. It was, with a 17% Tomatometer rating from critics and a 23% Popcornmeter rating from users. On IMDb, the film has an average 5.1 out of 10-star rating and over 13k reviews. Its slight 95-minute runtime makes for a nice pairing with a bowl of popcorn, but your enjoyment of the film will depend on whether you like the genre, the actors, and/or the video game legend behind it.largely ignored by audiences before surging in popularityFor a couple of hours every few months, some survivors are awoken from cryo sleep to survey and upkeep the underground facility. In"Air," Bauer and Cartwright are those two people, and most of the movie is spent with them. The opening sequences feature the duo undertaking their routine duties until, as you might imagine, some unfortunate events disrupt their work. It's an interesting premise, but what makes it most interesting is how the characters react to one another and how their own motivations play out on screen. Things are, after all, not always as they seem. Alternatively, if you particularly enjoy Norman Reedus and want a taste of other dystopian media, you'd likely be interested in the"Death Stranding" games from another legendary video game icon, Hideo Kojima. Come to think of it, Reedus seems to have a penchant for end-of-the-world themes, given his long stint on"The Walking Dead" and the spin-off featuring his same character from the original series,"The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon."
