Set in an underground dungeon inhabited by bundled, ragged human beings, after the nuclear holocaust. The story follows the wanderings of a hero through the situations of survival. People wait for the Ark to arrive and rescue them while their habitat falls apart.
Delving deep into the dusty and long abandonded vaults of b-cinema in search of lost gems always leaves me with a bittersweet taste. On one hand the discovery of unexpected gems where no one would think them possible is a rewarding experience. On the other hand though it makes one wonder how many of these remarkable low-budget oddities, personal love affairs of directors never quite famous and now all but forgotten, have almost forever slipped from memory?
n any case what we have here is a little post-apocalyptic gem from Poland that is really better than it has any right to. The dystopian near future of O-BI, O-BA finds a group of survivors of the nuclear war that ravaged the Earth inhabiting an underworld concrete bunker and biding their time as they wait for the mysterious Ark, an air ship of some kind that will come and save them. The Ark proves to be an elaborate hoax, carefully designed to give hope to the malnourished and desperate denizens of the bunker, while in the meantime the dome that separates their miserable existence from the nuclear winter outside is slowly caving in.
What first striked me about the movie is the design of the bunker and the depiction of the survivors. The survivors are gaunt, filthy and terrible-looking penitents, dressed in rags and aimlessly wandering the neon-lit halls of the bunker like automatons. The bunker is a rundown, seedy place, with bright neon lights peering from all sides like the eyes of malignant beasts.
On one hand it is a slightly 80's depiction of the dystopian future but the movie never stoops down to MAD MAX cheese. Instead it combines biting political satire with the bleak outlook of a world with no future, black comedy with barbs on apathy, religion and power. The survivors, for example, are fed some kind of flour dropping from a tube that hovers in the air - later on we discover the food supervisor uses books and the Bible itself as filler for this meagre meal. There are many such short symbolic touches, perhaps not life-changing or faith-restoring, yet playful, clever and inspired.
One thing is for sure; O-BI, O-BA is not your run-of-the-mill sci-fi schlock. It overcomes its modest budget with creativity and has genuine artistic aspirations both from a writing and directing perspective. My opinion is that it should have been filmed in black and white instead of colour though. The director uses atmospheric light and shadow to great effect and it would have registered even better in stark black and white. The blue-green neon on the other hand outstays its welcome after a while. Just a minor gripe in an otherwise solid b-movie with its heart set in all the right places.
Imagine a less bleak THE ROAD (Cormac McCarthy) being injected with the satire and humour of DR.STRANGELOVE and you're getting there. See it if you can find it.
女儿比妈妈还老的感觉是什么样子。这个电影打斗的场景很真实，很刺激，剧情比较单一，通俗易懂。
十年后，有的人还在等我。
绣春刀精神续作，网大有这样的动作场面很少见，有几处兵刃交加的动作戏非常好，干净利落。可惜故事太单薄了，人设直接搬了绣春刀，故事线掰了林冲故事线的皮，感情戏鸡肋了点。
竟然没有武，也没有侠……莫非武侠的含义被误解了
什么烂片，越看越恶心，瞎编乱造，美国西部时代啥时变成以黑人为主导了
武打场面干净利落不拖沓，有绣春刀的那种感觉，剧情比较一般，五星给武打和对导演的鼓励，对演员的肯定
处女作很棒了，打戏确实很好看，看的神经都紧绷绷的。我想导演是致敬林冲吧，故事情节有点像哦。
很不错的一部电影，阐述了侠义精神，没有明星大腕，武打设计不浮夸，没有吊着威亚的漫天飞舞。
我觉得挺好。老婆孩子没死，是我想要的结局。陆捕快竟然不是最终boss，千人斩才是
武打场面干净利落不拖沓，有绣春刀的那种感觉，剧情比较一般，五星给武打和对导演的鼓励，对演员的肯定
朴实剧情配上简单的对白，隐藏的是考究的打斗和摄影，值得一看！
久违的国产古装西部片 西部刀客也曾火过一阵 不过这片有点狗血了 哥们陷害霸占妻女 感觉好水浒传 整体还可以吧
有江湖味道；剑客太文艺了，与身份不符，要么江湖气十足，阴险狡诈，义薄云天，要么你就干脆利落快意恩仇好了，干嘛搞的像文人一样文绉绉的，内心戏太多！
身体不舒服，不想多写了。
影片打斗场面写实，台词简单明了。值得一看！
开篇不错，有着王家卫的影子，可惜人物降智，形象扁平，逻辑不通，家长里短拖沓无趣，关键是女的毫无演技。武指比隔壁悍刀行强了十倍不止，真实且矫捷，毕竟是个网大，在全网妖魔鬼怪和浮夸沙雕的霸道总裁里也算一股清流了。
有东邪西毒和倭寇的踪迹的影子
动作场景节奏很慢，打起来不是很好看，妻子的演技面瘫，哭笑都是同一个表情。
虽然总有王家卫+绣春刀即视感，但是美学确实值得鼓励，特别是在网大这样的市场里，这种尝试是可贵的。真心希望那些眼睛里只把网大当圈钱工具的制片人看看…能不能不要只盯着分账。
及格的网大了呀，布景和打戏比很多大制作都强了
