Set in an underground dungeon inhabited by bundled, ragged human beings, after the nuclear holocaust. The story follows the wanderings of a hero through the situations of survival. People wait for the Ark to arrive and rescue them while their habitat falls apart.
Delving deep into the dusty and long abandonded vaults of b-cinema in search of lost gems always leaves me with a bittersweet taste. On one hand the discovery of unexpected gems where no one would think them possible is a rewarding experience. On the other hand though it makes one wonder how many of these remarkable low-budget oddities, personal love affairs of directors never quite famous and now all but forgotten, have almost forever slipped from memory?
n any case what we have here is a little post-apocalyptic gem from Poland that is really better than it has any right to. The dystopian near future of O-BI, O-BA finds a group of survivors of the nuclear war that ravaged the Earth inhabiting an underworld concrete bunker and biding their time as they wait for the mysterious Ark, an air ship of some kind that will come and save them. The Ark proves to be an elaborate hoax, carefully designed to give hope to the malnourished and desperate denizens of the bunker, while in the meantime the dome that separates their miserable existence from the nuclear winter outside is slowly caving in.
What first striked me about the movie is the design of the bunker and the depiction of the survivors. The survivors are gaunt, filthy and terrible-looking penitents, dressed in rags and aimlessly wandering the neon-lit halls of the bunker like automatons. The bunker is a rundown, seedy place, with bright neon lights peering from all sides like the eyes of malignant beasts.
On one hand it is a slightly 80's depiction of the dystopian future but the movie never stoops down to MAD MAX cheese. Instead it combines biting political satire with the bleak outlook of a world with no future, black comedy with barbs on apathy, religion and power. The survivors, for example, are fed some kind of flour dropping from a tube that hovers in the air - later on we discover the food supervisor uses books and the Bible itself as filler for this meagre meal. There are many such short symbolic touches, perhaps not life-changing or faith-restoring, yet playful, clever and inspired.
One thing is for sure; O-BI, O-BA is not your run-of-the-mill sci-fi schlock. It overcomes its modest budget with creativity and has genuine artistic aspirations both from a writing and directing perspective. My opinion is that it should have been filmed in black and white instead of colour though. The director uses atmospheric light and shadow to great effect and it would have registered even better in stark black and white. The blue-green neon on the other hand outstays its welcome after a while. Just a minor gripe in an otherwise solid b-movie with its heart set in all the right places.
Imagine a less bleak THE ROAD (Cormac McCarthy) being injected with the satire and humour of DR.STRANGELOVE and you're getting there. See it if you can find it.
有些部分转折让人莫名其妙，一脸懵逼，最后也是匆匆收尾！
略显冗长
大过年的坐个啊高铁看了一路这个片子，也是服了…
The Contractor 2022 1080p BluRay DD+7.1 x264
感觉什么都没有，没高潮，好像刚开始就结束了
两个女人是其实是金妖幻化来的吧，贪婪者哪配拥有金山？
超级无聊啊，正常人发现了肯定先敲块小的出来一起去卖了，然后买设备买车去挖了！！！走之前埋好做好标识不就行了！！！为什么非得留一人！！无语了！！！
我觉得挺好看！分数偏低了。不过男主的智商确实太低了
仅仅可唔的、结局源于
为了撑满90分钟确实很努力，但是因为太刻意导致没玩出花（这种独角戏真的至今无出《活埋》其右
这片子演员真特么的辛苦 感觉那些小鲜肉真特么的安逸
老套的故事情节，组织靠不住，看你单枪匹马杀回总部。鲍小强留着胡子扮演大反派，戏份也太少了。
这也有人能吹起来我是真的想不通。一部短片就能说完的故事硬是拉成了一部长片，贪婪与信任的故事从古至今说了几千年了，可是电影也没拍出个新花样，听他们台词就知道世界局势不怎么好了，竟然敢一人独自留在荒郊野外，实在是让人不解。一部电影从开头就无法说服观众的话，接下来的观感只会越来越差。
更适合拍成剧集。
故事设定不错，讲得完整性也还行，就是情节还是太粗糙，现如今平台自制的通病。。。Ben Foster还是很可爱
故事并不复杂，剧情不太合理。赴汤蹈火兄弟俩接住了彼此的戏，其他人物要么扯淡，要么没扯完就挂了。
互不信任与人为财死的故事，设定有些简单粗暴。此地无银三百两了。
从安全屋 坐飞机回美国 复仇 都放飞自我了…😂
浪费两个小时看了一个用几句话可以总结的故事。
后半段夹带着阴谋论，动机和剧情还不错，只可惜最终没有很好地结局，并没有深挖，只是流于表面的解决问题，而前期做的铺垫关于疫苗、关于幕后黑手都没有涉及，不得不说是一个遗憾。
