Shangri-La: Near Extinction (2018)
Dir- Nick Wauters
A small group of renegades travels the plague-stricken frozen wasteland of Earth undergoing a manufactured ice age, looking for clues to a fabled sanctuary they call Shangri-La. Unfortunately, they face danger from soldiers who are set on stopping them as they try to find trust with new members they pick up along the way as well as their unique superhuman abilities. Shangri-La: Near Extinction is an apocalyptic sci-fi thriller that almost seems like a failed tv pilot rather than a stand-alone movie. The actors are all unknown, and the sets are minimally decorated warehouses suggesting this may have been done to seek out financing for a series of films. The events also jump around with several flashbacks to explain the viral outbreak and the drastic attempt taken to contain the pandemic. Shangri-La: Near Extinction does have some good storylines, but the extensive use of flashbacks will make you wonder if the director took two different movies and combined them into one.
