Am I the only one getting a "Fallout" game franchise vibe with this?


Except in Fallout, theres breathable air and people around "Rebuilding" Civilization. Over here, it feels like a Prequel (Scientists just waking up, etc).

yes it does, but, the film fall short... image is bad, budget feels like amateurish from 90s...

reply

Yes, definitely with the vaults and the post-apoc landscape. I was expecting then to find out they were being part of some kind of experiment like all the Fallout vaults were part of. Kind of were to a tiny degree with the system's false reports set to manipulate them.

How could you have registered in 2006, but be asking the sort of question a child would?

Clearly any story involving nuclear-proof bunkers (and there have been hundreds of stories) will remind those of a Fallout game if they are familiar with that series. What an odd question, it's like when someone states that Thor in the Avengers MUST be a homage to Stargate SG-1, it just makes you want to go "awww, he must be about ten years old".

If you're more comfortable imagining that other posters are 10 year olds, then maybe it's not them that has the problem.

A good rule of thumb to follow on the IMDB boards is that you are NEVER the only one making a connection between a film or series and another work.

I don't know about Fallout but this film is surely a lot similar like The Descendant (a PC game).

reply

Don't you mean Descent?

reply

No, it's The Descendant released in 2016 by Gaming Corps.

Ah now I know the one you mean. My mistake!

Fallout did not invent any of these concepts. Not waiting out an apocalypse for the environment to heal itself, not rebuilding civilization after the apoc event. Not cryogenics. In fact only FO4 even includes cryogenics in the Vault as a major theme (the rest just lived normal generational lives). Also this movie would have had to be very forward thinking to guess the cryogenic aspect since this movie came out some time before FO4.

What a lovely way to burn...
