Alexandra Daddario, KJ Apa, and Sofia Carson in Songbird (2020)
Four years into quarantine the virus has changed and so have we... 
 
The COVID-23 virus has mutated and the world is in its fourth year of lockdown. Infected Americans are ripped from their homes and forced into quarantine camps known as Q-Zones, from which there is no escape, as a few brave souls fight back against the forces of oppression. Amid this dystopian landscape, a fearless courier, Nico (KJ Apa), who's immune to the deadly pathogen, finds hope and love with Sara (Sofia Carson), though her lockdown prohibits them from physical contact. When Sara is believed to have become infected, Nico races desperately across the barren streets of Los Angeles in search of the only thing that can save her from imprisonment ... or worse.

    Critics copied each other

    This movie was not bad. It's not Oscar material, but it's watchable. It's like one critic ripped it, then others followed suit trying to one-up each other to see who could rip it harder. It's on Hulu for free so just watch it. After I watched it I read an LA Times article about how it was made which makes me appreciate it a little more.

    At the very least, social distance from this film....

    Initial Thoughts: Minus the whole zombie apocalypse aspect. I thought this film would be much more similar to the outbreak, and subsequent emptiness that was found in "I Am Legend". Anyways....

    While the trailer hinted at a decent story. I was filled with skepticism going into this film. Based off both the trailer, and the description, this film falls way short of its intent. While classified as a comedy, drama, and romance, I felt very little to no emotion within each of those categories. Nothing stood out as funny. There was very little drama to be had. Hearing there were "Q-zones", and people trying to fight back, I assumed there would be riots and intense action to show how tired people were for being oppressed and contained of the virus. There was none of that. Lastly, the romance was sub-par. There was no spark, no emotion that made me feel the leads were truly in love, or had any connection that would've brought them together. The most engaging sub-story was the one with a military veteran trying to help an internet personality escape her oppressor, and I felt that story was stronger than the main one.

    Overall: The film was slow, emotionless, and a waste of time. Honestly, wait for it to come out on a streaming service. No amount of screen or sound is going to make the film any better than it already isn't.

    Enjoy the show!

    Soap opera

    It's a love story in times of quarantine, with little to no action, a couple that in all their three conversations on camera was about "the safety of their daughter", an don Juan trying to make more money but his actions does the opposite of doing the job, an annoying Demi Moore in a character with a weird sense of morality and, again, a good performance of Peter Stormare. If the movie tried to send a message, it just went past me.

    Surprisingly Good Watch! Ratings Didn't Do Justice

    The trailer was interesting. I postponed watching this for two days thinking it will be depressing to watch but finally I watched it and I really liked it. There was attention to detail. Actors did a good job. Production and cinematography is as good as any A movie. There are somethings that were shown in the movie that are actually unfolding as reality now. I liked it so much that I am recommending my family and friends to watch it too.

    Entertaining!

    Ok so it's not Oscar material but that being said it was really good! It was thrilling and it kept my attention. In this age of Covid this movie is a must see. I'm glad I didn't listen to the reviews. I also liked the love story plot...and the character relationships that show how the virus can either bring people together or tear them apart. It can bring out the best in some people or the worst.

    • Trivia
      SAG-AFTRA issued a "Do not work" order on Songbird, telling its members to refuse any work on the film, apparently due to incomplete agreement paperwork and a lack of transparency regarding safety procedures. The order was rescinded the following day.

      When William is trying to get May out of her car, he smashes the driver's side window out. Seconds later, when the drone shoots him, blood splatters all over the window. However, upon careful inspection, it's the front windshield that gets blood all over it.
