Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While Netflix is now a major movie producer across all genres, the streaming service seems to have a particular fixation with apocalyptic movies. Since the release of Bird Box in late 2018, the platform has produced no less than eight original movies centered around the apocalypse or apocalyptic events.
Though it boasts a potentially intriguing premise and strong acting pedigree, including the likes of Gina Rodriguez and Jennifer Jason Leigh, the 2021 thriller Awake is undoubtedly the least successful recent Netflix apocalypse movie. The film imagines a world where no one can go to sleep, sending the population into a panic and causing sleep deprivation.
The events of IO remain on Earth despite most survivors heading to Jupiter's moon. The story specifically follows a young woman who lives by herself and plans to find a way to make Earth habitable again, making for a hopeful yet slower offering than many other apocalyptic movies. IO focuses on what it is like for someone fighting to save the world but struggling as everyone and everything dies around them.
The idea that the series came out around the time of the pandemic made this an interesting take, as it allowed the readers to follow a person who found joy in an otherwise depressive world. However, the live-action movie based on the manga didn't quite hit the same notes.
Critics felt that the film, for all its potentially intriguing ideas, was significantly less suspenseful than its predecessor. Indicative of this is Bird Box Barcelona's Rotten Tomatoes score of 51% – significantly worse than the original. The audience score was even lower, showing that the follow-up was not as highly received as the Bullock movie that started it all.
The movie was not only a massive hit for Zack Snyder fans, but it was popular enough with Netflix viewers that it spawned a prequel, which changed the apocalyptic story to a heist movie with the safecracker from the original.
