Groups of people - colonies - are forced underground due to another ice age. Colony 7 goes to check on Colony 5, which they lost contact with. When they get there they find that the colony has fallen and there is a whole new enemy that they have to face on their way back.
Forced underground by the next ice age, a struggling outpost of survivors must fight to preserve humanity against a threat even more savage than nature.
"The extermination of humanity is the ultimate concomitant of capital's destructive course of development." - Ivan Meszaros
Directed by Jeff Renfoe, "The Colony" opens in the near future. Here, centuries of environmental abuse have led to severe global warming. In an attempt to curb the effects of man-made climate change, humans erect giant environmental regulators. These backfire, bathing planet Earth in a perpetual winter.
Unlike most post-apocalyptic films, "Colony's" ecocide is specifically aligned to economics. Capitalism must expand or die, and so hinges on increases in production and so increases in energy flows and so increases in heat. Studies already show that our global system's energy requirements exponentially increase at a rate of about 2 to 3 percent per annum. As philosopher Edward Abbey says of this, "growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell". Proceed along these lines and the cancer wins; humans die.
In "Colony", humans are already dead. Small bands of survivors huddle together in cool looking underground bunkers. They attempt to grow crops, raise animals (the animals are so depressed they've started committing suicide) and avoid viruses, but things look bleak. Thankfully, the colonies are connected by communication relays. When survivors from one colony have a problem, the closest colony in the network sends help. Through co-operation and crude organisation, the last vestiges of humanity hold on.
Such gestures of compassion are questioned in the film's first scene. Here a mean dude called Mason (Bill Paxton) executes a virally infected colonist. Colony leader Briggs (Laurence Fishburne) protests, but Mason gets his way. Mason believes in a Darwinian ethos; survival of the fittest, the strong survive, every man for himself, kill or be killed.
A nearby colony sends a distress signal. Briggs and another colonist called Sam (Kevin Zegers) assemble a team and head off to investigate. In their absence, Mason assumes leadership of the tribe. Under his credo – a bullet in the brain of the sick and weary – the colony begins to crumble. Briggs and Sam fare no better. The colony they "rescue" has been attacked by strange, mutant-like creatures, cannibals who exist solely to eat, consume and destroy their fellowmen. Significantly, the only word these creatures are capable of saying is "more", their insatiable appetites infecting their entire being. Consumed by a desire to consume, these mutants dart across the landscape like plagues of unstoppable locusts.
"Growth is not an obsession," economist Fawzi Ibrahim says, "it is a systemic requirement." Today this fetish for more is global policy. When the leaders of the world's richest countries, the G20, met in Toronto several months ago, they unanimously agreed that their "highest priority" was to "lay the foundation for more growth." They used the word "growth" 29 times in their nine-page final declaration. Meanwhile, Earth Overshoot Day — the day on which we've used more of the planet's resources than it's able to replenish in a year — steadily arrives earlier and earlier. "Self-interest, short-terminism and greed are the guides, and they will be heeded", philosopher Ernest Gayle says, "until the consequences can no longer be hidden". Sam pulls the plug on consequences. He grab's the cannibal leader by its mouth and symbolically cuts off its jaw. No more "more".
In Norse mythology, after a global calamity called Ragnarok, two humans survive and find themselves tasked with restoring and repopulating the planet. Their names are Lif (meanng "life", "the life of the body") and Lifprasir ("lover of life"), two ancient archetypes who often turn up at the end of post-apocalyptic movies. In "Colony" we end with Sam and his lover Kai ("keeper of the earth") setting off to find the planet's only patch of tropical climate. With a bag full of seeds, our survivors prepare to launch humanity's newest experiment.
Jeff Renfoe's "The Colony" is humble, unpretentious and proud of its B-movie roots. Along trashy lines, the film works well. On the flip-side, Renfoe's FX shots are at times too ambitious for his tiny budget, the film's action sequences are mostly junk, the film drags in its middle section and the film's villains – essentially fast zombies – are wholly unimaginative. Some creepy sequences and a good performance by Lawrence Fishburne elevate things, but unfortunately Fishburne quickly exits the picture. He's replaced by Sam (Kevin Zegers), a photogenic-but-tedious hero. Better to kill Sam and have Fishburne survive. When the fate of humanity is at stake, you want Morpheus on your front-lines.
7.9/10 – Other good, recent post-apocalyptic movies: "Carriers", "Stakeland", "Snowpiercer", "Land of the Dead", "Survivors of the Dead", "Vanishing on 7th Street", "Pandorum", "Blindness".
This movie is hugely underestimated and the critics' score is plain ridiculous. This movie is a rare beast a quality science-fiction survival horror. Yes, a quality one. The cast is impressive and the acting is really good, Laurence Fishburne did well for sure. The movie has some beautiful scenery, and the setting (frozen Earth) and the plot is solid enough. Sure, for science-fiction it has some flaws for example, footprints hold during the night on the snow despite the never-ending blizzard. Or the "certain" tribe is so big it shouldn't be able to survive (taking into account their ration). But... that's about it. I can't recall any other major problem and I saw this movie just yesterday. Besides, this is the fourth post-apocalyptic movie of 2013 that I have seen. "The Oblivion" was obviously the best, hands down. And this is also the simple fact that "After Earth" was obviously the worst. Taking into account their budgets, I would say "The Colony" is no worse than "World War Z". There is no unnecessary pathos and its characters definitely has more depth and creates more of viewers' willingness to empathize them.
The Colony has modest rewards: It's decently acted, delivers some well-executed jolts, doesn't insult the viewer's intelligence, and is mercifully free of ironic distance.
