When a meteor crashes on Earth, a group of people seek shelter in a bunker. Ten years later, they need supplies and leave the bunker, discovering that the survivors have turned into mutants.

"Mutant World" is a sci-fi that can be described in one word: awful. The acting, story and the screenplay are terrible and the movie begins without any character and situation development and has a corny conclusion. The viewer sees a young woman preparing to shag with her boyfriend in a van and receiving a phone call from her father. Then they drive to a bunker and start shooting people since the place does not have supply enough for their neighbors and friends. Ten years later, the woman leaves the bunker commanding an army to get supplies and they stumble with mutants and a few people that survived to the apocalypse. The movie is so bad that there is a cameo participation of Kim Coates only to give his name to the credits. My vote is two.

Title (Brazil): "Mundo Mutante" ("Mutant World")

Low budget movie. It wasn't a complete waste. However, I checked this out because Kim Coates was first on the list as one of the players in this title, but he was barely in it. He appeared in about the first 5 minutes of the film, and reappears in the last 4 minutes. I don't plan on giving this film a second chance. There are still a handful of unanswered questions about what happened in the film as well. I grabbed this film out of a redbox, which we can't always expect great films from that. This also featured the recording artist Ashanti. I have not listened to her music, but I can say that I certainly hope her talent for music is a lot better than her talent for acting.

A meteor crashes into the Earth. Marcus King (Kim Coates) tracks it and leads a group of people into the bunker facility. Some ten years later, the facility is failing and supplies are dwindling. Marcus' daughter Melissa King leads a squad to scavenge only to find murderous mutants and suspicious survivors.

For some reason, the only capable actor, Kim Coates, disappears after the first five minutes. The fighting is weak. The acting is nothing special. It's low budget sci-fi TV. The mutants look cheesy. The production is strictly leftovers from other TV crews. They get to play around with a couple of sets but it's more sad than good camp.

Terrible acting by people you actually don't necessarily want on TV. Embarrassing special effects not even expected on Syfy. Bumpy and partially broken plot, i.e. scenes don't connect.

What really struck me was the obvious attempt to swap the gender roles, i.e. the girl officers played the strong and tough ones whilst the guys were dumb making all sorts of stupid mistakes and statements + going for the sucker moves. Even 10 years after a meteor hit really not so credible. This might have been a kinky idea for a 90s movie but in 2014 I would have expected the prdoucers to be a bit more sober about gender aspects...

Bottom line is there was no way I could watch it to the end...

"I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee."

That was the part that made me laugh so hard i fell out of my seat and made my dog go into a protection frenzy fit thinking i was attacked by ghosts or something and needed to be saved. Not those exact words, but anyone that plays Skyrim and watched this movie knows. Also the singing, to much hanging tree song.

OK, so it's bad story wise, really bad, so many plot holes it's better to take an arrow to the knee then go through this again. That said, the filming is good, quality really surprised me, good camera work and they really did their best on using the scenics, to complement what could have been a good story, and succeeded on block bluster level, you have to give them credit for that. If they just put in a little more effort in the story. There is just to much left out for some scenes and lines to make any sense unless you fill in the blanks yourself keeping in mind that they simply skipped any chatter between characters between scenes to give a bit of depth.

The actors individually all did a really great job with what they were given. There were a few cheesy bits, but all in all i cannot honestly say the acting was bad, the script was though.

All in all it's B it's never going to be cult ever, but with some fantasy of your own to fill in some blanks it's very good to watch and enjoyable when you come home from the pub, with just enough alcohol to not fall asleep.

I switched on it for i think five minutes to see something like this: Bunker doors open Group of young actors step out wearing pristine military gear, one actor says some dumb exposition like "been down there ten years, would rather die than spend another day down there" all proceed to speak perfect cliché military lingo to some old guy father figure "ten-four we got a fox-trot code 9"(something the old guy taught them?), something really stupid about implausible & impracticable solar panels happens, A military vehicle appears out of nowhere and apparently "purrs like a kitten" somehow after 10 years of presumably being totally inactive.

They drive up to a house, guy checks radiation levels or something dumb, something with two arms and walking on two legs opens a door and makes a noise, everyone starts uncontrolled firing at it for absolutely no reason(something the old guy taught them?). Another obvious human pops around a corner and they also shoot it for no reason.

"what is this?" looks down at obvious human body "SOME KINDA WERID ANIMAL OR SOMETHING" touches it, shows man with green face paint, "raaar" opens eyes with terrible CGI effect.

that's when I changed the channel. My brain couldn't take anymore. I feel bad for anyone who continued to watch it.

How do movies like this get made? How do you get a budget to make a first draft script made into a movie? I've literally read better scripts online that will never be made into a film.

I can see this being on an 8 movie pack in a wall-mart 5$ garbage bin, but how the hell did it make it to an actual movie channel on satellite television? Mind boggling. It literally made me mad.

Well, I stumbled upon the 2014 movie "Mutant World" in 2019, and I hadn't even heard about it. So I decided to give it a chance, as I watch just about anything.

Initially when I saw that this was a SyFy movie, then my expectations dropped drastically, because they are hardly known for having particularly exciting or entertaining movies. But I will say that "Mutant World" actually turned out to be a great step up in the right direction. Every now and a again SyFy does put out the occasional enjoyable movie, and "Mutant World" was definitely halfway there.

The storyline was mediocre and hardly had an ounce of realism to it. But hey, this is a movie meant for entertainment after all. But still, just something plausible or believable does go a long way.

The movie was nicely paced and it was actually saved by the interesting cast, most of which I was hardly familiar with. And I must admit that the acting performances put on throughout the course of "Mutant World" was actually what kept the movie afloat a great long way.

The special effects in the movie were adequate and served their purpose well enough. Just don't go off expecting a grand CGI of epic proportions here.

All in all, "Mutant World" was watchable and enjoyable for what it was. But it is hardly an outstanding movie, nor a memorable one at that - sad to say. And chances are slim to none, more likely none, that I will be returning to watch "Mutant World" a second time around.

I just watched this movie on SciFi Channel and was impressed with it. The actors did a great job and were all very believable in their roles. The plot is pretty straightforward relating to surviving a major disaster. It has elements of a zombie movie too. There were several technical and tactical goofs and a major continuity error but I still enjoyed it.

Some of the non-spoiler technical goofs are:

The GPMG on top of the truck never had an ammunition can or belt in it. Magazine/cartridge pouches flat; common, at least put something in there!

Tactical goofs were the typical splitting forces in a known hostile environment and not leaving someone on the truck MG when dismounted.

The continuity goof would require a spoiler but it is pretty obvious when you watch the movie.

I liked that the 'survivors/preppers' were the good guys.

Overall, worth watching and kudos to all the young actors for a great job.

I would rather be hit by a meteor than watch this pos again...

Criticizing this movie would be like mocking a deaf child for not being able to hear, which is almost as cruel as having to endure the pain of watching it (although I'm sure working on it was even more painful...). #nitrosMovieChallenge.
