Deserted

Bunch of unlikeable morons lost in desert. Follows all usual tropes and brings nothing original to mix. Poorly acted and executed. Do yourself a favour and skip.

I expected this to be bad but it was actually one of the best survival movies I have seen. This reminded me of The Canyon which is also really good.

The writing and pacing are excellent. The acting is very good. Nothing in the movie is predictable.

The cinematography is splendid indeed ,enhancing magnificent but hostile landscape;the soundtrack for once fits the pictures,including such luminaries as Tom Waits whose tired hoarse voice works wonders .

As for the characters,they are clichés ,like in all the "survival movies" ,so fashionable ,mainly at sea when the heroes are lost in the middle of the ocean ; but no killer, no loony peasants,no trained former marines , just ordinary people who have to fight against the elements .I remember being once in this place ,and the temperature was "hotter than July' ,I was not able to stand it ;they say that at night ,it becomes icy but I did not probe it. It's unlikely that these people can survive several days without gallons of water ; even the old "inferno" in which Robert Ryan with a broken leg was crawling across the desert was more credible,

See it for the cinematography ,it deserves it.

I thought this movie was gonna bore me. But the acting is intense! I'm a native SoCal, there's some areas in our deserts that you just don't go to unless you're well equip and hydrated.

Needless to say, the type of survivalist in this scenario was realistic and as scary. Mischa's character starts off a mystery and without giving the movie away watch how the characters truth prevails.

Great watch, now I let the movie play while I'm cleaning house, because the soundtrack is flipping awesome and the scenery is bliss.

I was apprehensive about a bunch of spoiled 20 somethings with a female lead, lost in the desert, and a female director. The men in the film were better treated than I hoped. The people still make questionable decisions but decisions weren't insanely stupid. The lead actress was likable also. Not a bad time spent on a rainy afternoon.
