Reviews

Paul Neri An above-average movie. Some interesting human-dynamics from people under pressure and without too many clichés that abound in this type of genre (Dystopia (family versus a collapsed world)). At the end of the movie all I could think about was: "I must install a water tank".

dv-816-793083 Red Dawn (1984, starring Patrick Swayze) was an excellent movie with great acting and plausible plot.Invasion Day (2013, AKA "Dragon Day") is all of that and much more-- a highly realistic and very frightening portrayal of would could very possibly happen in the United States.As of 2351 hours GMT on August 8, 2016 the U.S. National Debt is in excess of $19.4 TRILLION USD. A trillion is 1,000 x billion.In the movie, the U.S. cannot pay China the money it wants and you can guess what happens.The film is not "big budget" and the actors are not recognizable stars but there are great performances and real drama in the movie.Technology plays a central role in the movie. Even experienced survivalists can learn a thing or two from Invasion Day/Dragon Day.

rebeast Great story!This was an intense film with a touch of humor to lighten the load. The characters were great to watch and there was more of a focus on the US Gov being the bad guy and fueling the invasion rather than China. The inclusion of the Mexico story line was also a very topical and touching choice with illegal immigration providing an unexpected twist. The character of Alonso seemed stereotypical initially but this changed and added incredible heart and kindness to the storyline. Interesting that there were no subtitles required.The main characters Duke and Leslie were troubled and believable and their daughter Emma was a delight - great chemistry with all of them. The racist neighbor was somehow lovable with his old school quips that were balanced out by the technical jargon of the US Gov's research project (delivered by Duke)and I loved the potato battery power!This is a family movie and a real thought provoker. Sobering and yet entertaining with hope and triumph waiting in the wings. Would definitely watch again.

altarama Dragon Day was a compelling film to watch and kept me riveted to the very end. Although clearly a very low-budget movie, it did not suffer from frequent ills of indie films-- the pacing is very rapid, and the story unfolds quickly, and I admire the filmmakers for boldly taking on such a big topic with such limited means.The movie deals with Duke Evans, an ex-NSA engineer, who heads to a remote mountain cabin with his family. While there, the USA is attacked in some fashion through a cyberattack that shuts down all modern systems including electricity and water supplies. The film suggests that the attack comes from China because of our failure to pay our debt.During the film, we see the chaos of this cyberattack as if through a peephole-- only what the main characters see. Although I found myself wishing there were more scenes showing the bigger effects of the disaster, it forced me to stay with the family and experience it as they experienced it.One of my favorite characters in the film was the Mexican illegal immigrant Alonso. His appearance as a critical part of the story was moving and unexpected. The ending managed to steer clear of clichés and was a thought-provoking turn into something different. It had my friend who saw it with me talking about it for quite a while.
