iandsplastering Overall an average film, CGI is a bit scretchy in certain places but the suspense within the film makes up for it. The ending will leave you wanting just a bit more of an explanation.

kelvin-shirley This is not a sci-fi action film. It is more a slowpaced sci-fi mystery. We follow a young solider as he does a 100 day duty in a defence tower, protecting the inhabitants of an underground city. After aliens attacked and killed most of humanity, they now live in that city (maybe others like it?).The action is slow paced but actually it was a nice departure from the Marvel/DC/JJ Abrums/Michael Bay scifi action-extraordinaire-super-mega-explosions. It follows the young man "S.U.M.1", and his mental health, who is totally isolated from his world aside from his commanding officer and one guy who comes to repair stuff. He starts to question the reason he is there as he finds evidence what he has been told may or may not be true. With a reasonable, if a little predictable, twist at the end.Iwan is fantastic to watch - not to mention some may like the nude scenes (sorry nothing more then buttocks on display!). His portrayal of the character felt spot on.I guess the main things that really let this movie down are a couple of things brought up but not really explained. One are his dreams, seemed that could have been used for a greater reveal but just 'happened' and then moved on. There is an indication he may be different to the others - a physical change also happens - but again no real explanation as to what this means.Overall I think this movie really needed some world setting. You are not given any real idea on what happened, why it happened or any context as to why these soldiers need to spend only 100 days and why they are on their own, rather than a couple or more. Although it is alluded to there used to be 6 at a time.Despite that, I didn't find it as awful as its 3 point something rating would suggest.

aagsar Its beyond my understanding how this film have a 3.9 rating. We live in a strange world,indeed. Dont be fooled by this rating, the movie is absolutely great. ..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Aaron Even though I'm German, I rarely watch German movies. We're semi- successful with comedy, slice of life, or crime, but any other genre is usually painfully bad. This movie confirms this theory.The movie features a young soldier - unoriginally named Sum1 - who is stationed in a tower in the middle of nowhere to guard the new built frontier between civilization and no man's land. There are evil things roaming around and the survivors have found refuge in bunkers underground. No one has ever seen those monsters, or at least lived to tell the tale. Neither protagonist nor viewer is sure they even exist, however, the viewer is thrown into this dystopian world without any context, so all of this means nothing to them. Sum1 can't compete with any Hollywood productions and it's very obvious. It's not the outdated CGI or plump dialogue, it's not even the acting. (In fact Iwan Rheon's acting might even be a little too good for this script so he just comes of as overtly intense.) It's the fact that this plot could have escaped the pen of any first year Film student, it's bland and predictable, tries to be original but fails completely. We at least get a few good shots of Iwan Rheon's butt, which is only a small comfort in the long run.
