I a post-apocalyptic world with the landscape divided between deadly gangs, Nina and Mark attempt a cross-country trek to find safety. As one of the gangs focuses on finding them, the two are forced to work together to save their lives, and may save their relationship in the process.
Kate Bosworth (Nina), Tyler Hoechlin (Mark), Sonoya Mizuno (Betsy), Lance Reddick (Nathan), Kaden Lewis (Steven), Jacinte Blankenship (Theresa), Mikaela Armstrong (Bella), Thomas Murphy (Plowboy Jim).
The Domestics begins by jumping right into things and showing us the brutal post-apocalyptic world in which Mark and Nina live. As the two set out on a cross-country trek to find safety we learn more about their relationship. We are also introduced to the deadly gangs which have sliced up the country, and the even crazier ones that aren't part of the gangs. And when they find sanctuary, it might not be quite the paradise they expected.
Acting was okay with Hoechlin delivering well. Bosworth was good, but even more enjoyable when she morphs into an action hero. Reddick was enjoyable with good delivery, as was Blankenship. Murphy , Gourrier and the remainder of the supporting cast were enjoyable.
Camera work, sets, and backgrounds were interesting with a mix of settings, some which appeared unaffected by the apocalypse and some that were. CGI and effects were used for large scale scenes and were pretty good. Dialogue was good with a nice mix of drama and tension. Sound and soundtrack are good.
In the end, The Domestics is a decent sci-fi thriller that is really more sci-fi drama. Those who enjoy a solid dose of drama in the post-apocalyptic world should enjoy this one. Those looking for intense thrills or action may be disappointed as this one never really develops strong energy.
With a fair amount of graphic violence and some mild sexuality, this should be fine for older teens and above.
