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 Colony could have flourished with good visual and cast, but it squanders the potential before it enters the second act. The main issue is how stagnant and predictable the plot progresses, screenplay it uses is the very generic template for sci-fi genre. It barely possesses any unique qualities, and by the time the movie is over, it will be either forgettable or interchangeable with any mediocre films.
Story follows the survivors on Colony 7, led by Briggs (Laurence Fishburne). They have been plagued with the dangerous common cold, in which everyone who even shows symptoms are quarantined, possibly exiled or even killed. They also receive strange message from Colony 5, their neighbor colony and must go to examine whether it's real or not. The overall concept holds some promise, but there are far too many boring narratives and stupid behaviors from the characters to fully realize its prospect.
Script is highly foreseeable, down to the sob stories of the survivors, which to the film's credit, would be salvageable if it actually portrays them instead of having guys talk about it. Characters also perform a few needless monologues that don't help setting the tension, they merely drag the movie by a few minutes. Furthermore, many of the characters' decision are moronic, the film tries to convince audience with stress or fear excuse, and even if that's true, it's still stupid by any stretch. This is the equivalent of seeing someone decide to split up in horror flick.
Visual is pretty exceptional, it has good sharp contour and vibrant color. However, most of it are used in ordinary hallway full of pipes or barren wastelands, the most notably landmark is broken bridge which could very well be featured in half dozen other sci-fi films. The actors aren't that bad either, it's just the material is too thin and lacking any suspense for them to capitalize on.
The Colony might have bits that could've worked, but with too predictable execution and uninspiring plot, a visit isn't exactly recommended.
This movie feels a lot like wasted potential; the setting is good, the set design is better (which elevates this to the upper end of average), but everything feels too rushed and the characters aren't given any time to breathe to its detriment. It's hard to care about the fate of colonists who've had little to no character development over the course of the movie, and therefore the action sequences lack weight after Laurence Fishbourne's Briggs exits the stage around the midway point.
In particular, I have absolutely no idea why anyone would follow Mason's (Bill Paxton, in an unusually poor performance) orders especially when they became increasingly hardline and dictatorial for no apparent reason.
I'm of the opinion that any genre piece in the realms of sci-fi is worth a watch if it has a couple of good ideas in it, and The Colony does, so if you're a fan of post-apocalyptic sci-fi it's not a bad investment for your time. Still, it feels like a solid setting left largely unexplored, which is ultimately a bit of a shame.
The problem is that the filmmakers' aversion to any hint of storytelling originality means that the main impression The Colony leaves is one of almost stupefying over-familiarity.
