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".

I have never given such a low rating before, but this movie had no redeeming factors and it therefore deserved such a dubious distinction.The acting was complete cardboard with most of the time my wishing the main characters would get killed off since they were so annoying. To add to the distaste, the characters simply weren't believable either.Add to that an extremely poor plot with more holes than my grandfather's underwear, with a great big dollop of the incredulity bred of a hundred plot points where you yourself could think your way out of it or it simply wasn't feasible, and you honestly have a sincere waste of time.

This movie is action packed from the get go!!!!!!!!!! A VERY realistic story of what a Cyber Attack would mean to the United States of America. Too REAL!!! The performances were realistic enough to make you feel like it had become a reality. Actor Ethan Flowers did a grand job of acting out a part for the movie. All the other actors did a great job as well. The acting really hit home for Americans taking the American lifestyle for granted. The movie time line kept your mind interested and it was exciting and full of action! Alonso's role was also an interesting twist. This movie not only is action packed, but has guts to mention China! On the cutting edge, the movie is not afraid to show how much American business has been a lap dog to China. This movie will stir you upturn the apple cart!!!! The movie American business men don't want you to see! I give the movie a 9.

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.
