The franchise, which started 8 years ago – Judgment Night, without noise and announcements in Russia, was released with a new part, already the 5th in a row! Judgment Night forever. And if the first film made a splash, and then with each part the franchise became more boring and trashy, then wouldn’t the fifth part change everything? I’ll tell you without spoilers below!
The first Judgment Night, very chamber, where all the action took place inside a separate house, came out gorgeous. Cruel, interesting, unusual. The film suddenly fired, although not many were betting on it. And then, every 2 years there was a continuation of the series. Judgment Nights 2 and 3 became more ambitious, going beyond the boundaries of a separate house. But large-scale only in locations, in content, everything began to slide with each new part into a more fierce and less interesting trash. The fourth part, which became a conditional prequel, in 2018 in Russia was barely noticed at all, although it turned out to be much more cheerful and more driving than parts 2 and 3.
And now, completely without advertisements and announcements, Judgment Night Forever came out in cinemas in Russia. The film was released so suddenly that even I found out about its existence only from the weekly Friday cinema heading on the Rozetked website, where announcements of all the premieres of the next week are collected and the trailers released for the last 7 days are posted (by the way, it is very interesting and convenient, I recommend it to movie lovers). Well, it was decided by me to go and see, of course.
The fifth installment of the franchise is about the resumed Doomsday Nights in the United States after being temporarily canceled. But only … Only after the last Judgment Night did something go wrong and the population did not want to stop. Continuing the murder and atrocities and after the morning siren. And chaos and real anarchy began throughout the United States. The populace and the marginalized raced on the topic of racial hatred, especially against the Mexicans.
What is worth noting about Judgment Night 5: Forever. The film was suddenly very big. The plot is well thought out and very dashingly twisted. A kind of survival-horror-road movie awaits us, where a group of people is trying to survive by any (I emphasize: by any) means and get to the border with Mexico in order to escape from the complete chaos that began to happen on the streets. The authorities and law enforcement systems have suffered a complete fiasco and the strongest survive on the streets.
The atmosphere of complete madness and anarchy, human bestial cruelty and reprisals are presented to the screen simply gorgeous. As a spectator, you really immerse yourself in what is happening, captures completely. The plot and dynamics are kept in suspense until the very end. What is noteworthy is that the film is American, and the Americans themselves perfectly walked through their own pain points in the country, without hiding something or smoothing the corners.
I did not expect at all, but I got incredible emotions from the film. Comparable to watching the first part 8 years ago. Excellent action, super dynamics, interesting plot, understandable motivations of heroes and anarchists, plus a super-atmosphere of complete chaos around, which completely immerses the viewer in itself, causing that very animal feeling of desire to survive. What did not work in parts 2-3-4, in the fifth, in my opinion, was achieved. It was very cool to watch, I would even watch this film one more time. But keep in mind, there is too much cruelty, blood and all this.
