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.
其实挺无聊的，得二倍速，有些地方可以笑一笑。
前半段一直平平无奇不抱期待，后半段彻底跟着紧张害怕。又是一部优秀的小成本电影！

看完真探之后对woody喜欢的很。 这个电影后面的武打镜头有点琐碎了 好像想把所有元素都用一遍 但是会觉得乱和拖
设定上多了点新意，套路虽有点熟悉，前面仍有出色之处。整体集合的因素较多，总的来说，比90%国产片好看
这种没有营养的片子很适合上公共课看 😃吵闹，也不需要静心
女主和警察都智商让人捉急，不符合常理，拖了整体后腿！不过首尾呼应地结局倒是挺有感觉，四星合适😄
我觉得对于小成本做的真不错诶，就是推理弱了点。但是因为选用华裔，加一星。
好家伙，旅馆杀人案跟瘾君子的设定一点关系都没有。
套路满满的爆米花，但还算及格。同意郭达的观点，这片拍成r级会有更多可能性，拳馆长镜头变成屠杀也许能复刻王牌保镖的成功~
勒戒出逃寻老母，吹牛牌局猜悍匪，富贵熊娃欺劳工，老兵躺平能杀人，手枪钉枪螺丝批，雪山凶宅大火烧……蛮有诚意的低成本反杀脱逃片，亚籍大女主形象也算少见
如果没有思路拍了。那就可以去学习。真的不必拍烂片。

对于密室类来说似乎单调了些，猜凶手的悬念不够，拔钉子有点《电锯惊魂》。结尾没明白，难道一切不是女主在戒断交流会上看到那幅雪山油画的想象吗？？？
这个亚裔女主，说不上漂亮，可是在镜头面前，她的身上似乎就有道光。电影里面，白人都是坏的，懦弱的，黄种人和黑人都是好的，呵呵，zzzq让悬疑效果打了一个折扣。故事简短，但是还算完整，华盛顿大哥还是这么老练，反派男主出乎意料的好，五颗星是给女主的，她太能把观众带入戏了。
铺垫太长了，有些情节都能想到没有惊喜，名字叫做no exit但是剧情的那种绝望绝路的惊险没有表现出来。
还不错 虽然比较套路但是看在钉子哥那一跤的份上加一分哈哈哈哈哈哈
一个十来分钟的惊悚小故事却无限放大到长片，所以呈现出无穷极的愚蠢。
还不错，片尾调度算是一个亮点。剧本还算扎实，比较能够调动情绪。
开场女主为了摆脱毒品的诱惑选择了去戒毒所治疗，影片的结尾毒品却成了女主的救命稻草。
