So good it could have been a whole series

A good movie that could have been a great series with more characters. This is a post-apocalyptic film about a plague that forced humans to fight over farm land due to starvation and famine. A solid plot with great acting and lots of action.This could have been a whole series or a limited series. The concept is very deep and I think the movie kind of limited the writing. I would have liked to see this in episode format. I mean the movie is so good that a series would have worked just as well or even better. Regardless, the family portrayed in this film is very diverse. The atmosphere is dark and the main character has a unique outlook on the situation. She treats her family like an army platoon. It's like they've gotten so accustomed to the despair and violence in the world they've learned to live with it by treating life like a mission. Even the kids have become soldiers.

Slow, needs more details, and could be trimmed down.

Just saw the movie. First the movie is too long by probably a half hour. There is lots that could be cut to save time and make the movies pace better. I would have also appreciated more world building. There was a small blurb at the beginning but thats pretty much it. The mother is unlikable which I think is the point but it's too much for too little payoff. The step dad and his daughter are a breath of fresh air for the characters. The movie takes forever building up to the action which is at least good. There was a very cool dark action scene that I would have loved to have more of.Overall it's too long too slow tells too much about stuff that doesn't matter and not enough about what does.

This is weird movie. Pretty enjoyable, if schizophrenic.

40 Acres is a new Canadian, post apocalyptic......farm thriller?The basic plot follows a family living on an isolated farm in the middle of rural Canada, several years after a mushroom pandemic, civil war and other weird stuff.Society has fallen, and there are cannibals and raiders everywhere. A family of mixed ethnicity are now surviving, growing food on their farm, which is super important, all animals are now wiped out and farmland is a super hot commodity.The movie is handsomely shot but it bounces around from dark humour, horror, a military movie, a family religious movie and a coming of age movie, oh and kidnapping movie.It's almost like the director said to the writers "Hey you have all of this stuff in here. What kind of movie should this actually be?" And then they all said "Yes."This is a textbook example of throwing everything but the kitchen sink at the wall, but what sticks actually does kind of work.The movie is unique in that when it's the turn...things get worse for the characters....and then it gets worse......and then it gets worse...before being tied up in a nice little bow at the end.At the end of the day, if you gave me this film's budget and actors and told me to go with god, this isn't the movie that I would necessarily come up with, but I'm glad that someone took a stab at it. The result is a low to mid budget thriller that actually pulls it off. I saw this movie at a surprise screening, but I'm glad that I did.
