Bunker: Project 12

Proof that there are good low budget movies out there!

As a streaming movie junkie I have viewed and written a lot of 'low budget' films, and given more than my share of low stars. Thank god I found this one, it has renewed my faith in the industry segment!

OK, the good. FINALLY a pretty solid script. SOO much better than you expect from a low budget film. In fact I thought about 6 stars, but then you are getting into main stream theater level quality, and it was just not quite there. But very close.

The actors actually knew their trade and proved it time and again. I will be watching out for almost the entire cast in the future. They knew how to hold guns, pull off 'stings', everything.

This is one I would highly recommend. Yeah, even for a 2nd tier theater viewing, but probably better for a movie night with some beers and the guys and gals (but not the kiddies).

Whilst the plot isn't really original, it moves along at a good pace with some reasonable acting. It's entertaining, and doesn't pretend to be anything else. We found it enjoyable for a wet and cold weekend.

Quite unsurprising and seemed to be filled with some extra clutter to make it 90 min long. The acting wasn't great but I've seen much worse too.

Would I not have read the synopsis I wouldn't have had any idea what I was watching until about halfway through the movie. I don't think you'd lose much is you just skipped to the moment when they reach the bunker.

I think it was watchable and with the topic had potential to be bad instead of just awful. I'd say it just a few ticks away from being bad enough to be good. It is a three star movie but anything with soviet scifi elements gets an extra star from me.

What made this movie OK for me was the location. It's stated as the Canary Islands but the bunker, the tunnels? I couldn't find any reference to them, what were they built for, where exactly were they? Not by any stretch of the imagination an award winner but nevertheless the cast were competent and once they got themselves stuck into the tunnels it was at least atmospheric.

Spare yourselves the time wasted on this terrible movie. Some reasonable acting but the script is unoriginal, the effects dire, and the directing is all over the place. At the start I thought this was an 80's spoof cold war movie, expecting it to be a comedy, but it takes itself far too seriously and falls down after 20 minutes.
