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.
圣诞必备合家欢系列，同性装上异性恋的套路 直接被我基友吐槽到爆，但里面的男人都太可了！非常下饭！
虽然但是，米帅看了可能都想问编剧Luke是哪里不好了，非要男主跑回去选一个可能撞号的室友，想不通啊喂！
Netflix12月打批发片。真的cliché但是真的Christmas。现实中存在看到男二（？）还不马上脱裤子扑上去的gay？我不信。
有点无聊，就像圣诞节一样。不过也挺好的，就像圣诞节一样。
作为一个想磕糖+看颜值或身材的合家欢圣诞季电影来说，一点都不合格。
很老套但是场景设计很美，就是这对太姐妹了惹，磕不起来。
看了个开头就大致知道结局的电影…挺一般的，片中对美国的LGBT人群的友好度可见一斑，整体上还是很“LGBT”。
温馨的爆米花电影。因为同志电影多了半星。里面的James太帅了，气质是我的天菜。我的天呐。太好看了。
甜的人心痒痒，整部电影让我一直很愉悦，但是中间强行捣乱James和Peter的part设计的令人迷惑。
Oh my god, the script is so shit. You can’t force people to fall in love. The family is obnoxious to the point the film is not enjoyable any more.
对标去年的最幸福的季节，圣诞就需要这种工业糖度的小基（姬）电影！没头没脑可可爱爱，虽然旁人一把自乱撮合有点自以为是，连带久违的luke也成了可怜的炮灰，但这种土土的都市童话还是需要！
还行吧，圣诞背景的男同爱情电影。还挺甜，就很热闹
2.5 故事线简单清新 但确实蛮无聊 打发时间可以看 主配角的颜值倒是很在线
有点温馨，James是真的帅！室友往爱人发展，成了那就是主角这样，不成那就是杭州婆与关晓彤的故事。
老套温馨的小品电影。在进入疫情的第三年，喝着酒看一部这样的浪漫电影，大概能开心好几天
luke is the zaddy I ever wanted
Quite cute 😂 無聊看到就點開看了。梗和橋段都很cliche，但這就是聖誕電影啊，就是RomCom tropes大合集，情緒過山車起起伏伏最後闔家團圓暖暖過冬真愛永遠不分開。啊，聖誕真的是最美好的。（btw有評論覺得奇怪為什麼可以做室友六年也沒發生什麼，其實電影裡都交代了不是嗎，Nick是在暗戀，男主之前有想法也一直有好感，但之前兩人都分分合合各有男友，最重要的是男主不願意ruin the friendship，在一起有可能會分開，為了能永遠有你在我的生命裡寧願做一輩子好朋友，說實話好懂，嗚）
It's so tacky, but Christmas supposed to be tacky, isn't
“我和我室友因为害怕失去对方不敢告白于是我们做了六年的纯室友”这种一句话就能讲明白并且老掉牙的剧情，你就是抄好好抄都能抄出个合格分出来。所以我真的是百思不得其解，怎么就能做出这么烂的一个要剧情没剧情要氛围没氛围的片子来……
Single boy single boy single all the way, going back for Christmas hey let’s all be gay ～～尤里小哥笑起来都有鱼尾纹了～圣诞季就应该搞这种甜腻腻双向暗恋亲友助攻的老掉牙小甜文儿～J姐一贯承包金句“世界是舞台，人人没彩排”～麦当娜和小甜甜的引用很基很贴切喜欢💕
