40 Acres (7.7/10)

This new 2025 sci-fi/thriller had a slow and somewhat dull start, but it redeemed itself with an action-packed finale, but a slightly predictable one. The story takes place 14 years after a plague, yet it leaves the audience craving more context about how the world reached this point. Exploring those earlier events in a prequel could add depth and turn this into a compelling movie series. The movie had a good plot, it just needed more substance. "Surviving on an isolated farm after a series of plagues and wars, a former soldier and her family make one last stand against a vicious militia that wants to take their land."
