Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

My expectations weren't all that high but this movie sucks in so many ways that it nearly hurt to watch it. Let's face it: It IS entirely possible to make a really good post- apocalyptic movie on a really limited budget but that would require a couple of prerequisites that this film crew was lacking - you would have to have an interesting script, acted well by decent actors and a director/editor ready to spend weeks editing the accomplished product. Of these this film has NONE. It felt like I was watching a high school art class production, and certainly not made by the top students either. There has rarely been a time in the last 44 years when I thought to myself "life is too short for this kind of godawful crap" and quit watching halfway through the film but yes, I couldn't possibly finish this one. I cannot recommend this to anyone, not even out of curiosity and since it just sucks it isn't even comedically bad, just sad. The props and costumes are quite well done but that doesn't save the show when the acting is on par with old German porn videos (and if you have never had the displeasure of stumbling onto one, let's just say that they were not paid for their acting skills).

Since I've made low-budget films myself, I first must say that I am impressed by what Simone put together with Philip Kim's script.It's a professional product and very nice production value throughout. Especially some of the car-scenes had some complicated and really nice filming. I enjoyed the editing with the German-like experimental split-screen - especially since it was mostly used to tell two sides of the same scene.Of course, we have seen most of this before. Especially in the MAD MAX-films, of course, but mostly, this film resembles A BOY AND HIS DOG (1975) and there's also a lot of nods to Enzo Castellari's incredible Italian Mad Max-rip off I NUOVI BARBARI (1982).Downstream IS very Italian. If you haven't seen any of the Italian post-nuke films, then you're missing out on a lot of the films inspiration.Mostly, I thought this was well-made and for the low budget these people worked with, they created a nice film that works. Sadly, the ending is a bit slow. Otherwise, the fights and car-action was very good. It reminds me a lot of Marshall's DOOMSDAY (2008), of course - but do remember that that film had a $30M budget and this only a $1M! So if you like the casual Italian post-apocalypse thing, then this is for you.

This movie lacks many things and is essentially a well made B movie. Nonetheless I gave it 10 points, because it is the first movie with a political message showing the possible effects of the NEW WORLD ORDER.Some points are: peak oil, threats through GMO, corporate world domination , population reduction and elite isolation and separate evolution.This things are never obvious mentioned with the intent to educate the viewer, but are rather a glimpse in the story. If you know what's going on in the world then you can appreciate the effort of the director or writer. If you have never heard about NWO,Bilderberg,CFR etc. then you will see just a mediocre B movie.I was very thrilled to watch this movie about NWO - the first I know about that is no documentary.

this film was great, the editing was original it kicked ass.... but then it slowed down to a screeching stop! It was like the writers ran out of ideas. so they decided to kill off all the characters and have a terrible CG shot at the end. The film was a good film if you stop watching at the end of the second act, anything passed that just seems like a waste of time. why kill the dog? Did Sarah die from period pain? and then the main character makes it to his destination, only to be picked off by the worst cg bot thing I've ever seen, but still it had great potential! But at the 100min mark it was too long and lost its charm.
