Introduction

Movies are good entertainment vessels especially for the elimination of boredom and help in making the sensory neurons to perform effectively. The movie I have chosen for this assignment is “Cold Harvest” by Garry Daniels and Barbara Crompton.

The plot of the movie is about a deadly disease that runs rampant two years after a comet strikes Earth killing almost everybody. The remaining humans are thus left starving and the government starts a program to deliver the relief food to these people. Barbara Crompton and his gang stops the relief convoy and kills them including Garry Daniels brother. As a result of, the government sends Garry Daniels to follow up and get the gang that has taken control of the area. The attempt of Garry Daniels to pursue the same becomes fruitless initially and thus designs a different plan of capturing gang in a cold gorilla war (Ramakrishna et al., 2015)

The main characters are Garry Daniels and Barbara Crompton. The two faces one another in fierce battle of all kinds and Garry Daniels gets help from the land of the dead for assistance so as to help him rescue the area.

The film is very thrilling thus leaving the audience in suspense at every instance. This makes the audience to be expecting to know and see what transpires next. This style has made the movie fit its genre without contradiction.

The movie is timely and its arrangement takes place within a specified time limit. This makes the movie to utilize the sense of time very effectively. On the other hand the movie takes care of the space thus is space conscious compared to other movies thus can be viewed again and again.

The perspective of the film is excellent. The movie is thrilling as well as very educative and can thus be viewed by all age groups.
