Movie "The Divide" - My Opinion (Not a Must See)

Posted on the 19 August 2012 by Nikki @KCBlogger78

This movie is not one that I heard advertised on TV so I didn't know about it until I found it by searching thru On Demand movies. I won't lie the cover (photo above) caught my attention. I figured why not. So I watched it.
This movie was strange as hell. It started off ok but as it progressed I found myself getting bored. This movie is pretty much about people trying to survive each other after a nuclear blast that his forced them into a bomb shelter to live. Once everybody was locked in some days passed and there is a part where someone is trying to get in to the bomb shelter. When the door is breached, in come some men in protective gear pointing guns at everyone. For some reason they took the only child that was in the bomb shelter and left everyone else. They attempted to kill the survivors but they fought back and killed 2 of the men in protective suits. Then one of the survivors put on one of the suits and went outside, which was a tunnel of plastic leading to a room where they had the child they took, in some type of stasis chamber. There were nothing but children in these chambers. Well the survivor in the suit got made by the other scientists as an impostor & tried to kill him. Well he ran back to the bomb shelter, closed the door and the scientists on the outside welded the door shut.
Now this is where I found myself asking ok...WTF....who are those scientists & what the hell are they doing? The rest of the movie is just about the remaining survivors trying to stay alive and watching their behavior change and some die. The part about the child being taken and what those scientists were doing, was never answered. I don't really like movies where they introduce something and don't explain it.
The ending is generic, only one person out of 8 gets out & when the person gets out, the movie ends showing nothing but a run down city and the person standing there in a protective suit and back of food, with what looked like no where to go anyway.
There are lots of graphic and disturbing scenes in this movie and my over all opinion is skip this one if you you come across it.
Didn't really like and was kinda upset I spent the time watching it.
