Welcome 馃挅 Bienvenidos
It is a dystopian film, which is based on the end of the world seeing it from a religious perspective, as humanity faces a virus that is not very well understood, we only know that there is something in it air茅 and if a person sees it will be transformed into a kind of zombie that will seek to harm others or the same. This transformation only happens to mentally healthy people and those who get to see that; that is in the environment or through some screen lose their sanity, excluding the mentally ill, because obviously they are already crazy.
Starring my favorite Hollywood actress Sandra Bullock, the story begins with pregnant Malorie receiving a visit from her sister and watching the news, thinking that whatever is happening on the other side of the world would not reach them so fast; however, remember that by air the transmission of a virus can be very fast, we already experienced it with the last pandemic COVID-19, it is not so crazy. The sisters attend a gynecological check-up and from there they begin to see the attacks of the infected, Malorie's sister ending up dead.
Alone and pregnant, she is rescued by a group of different people who invade a house and organize themselves to survive, from this moment the suspense is maintained throughout almost the entire film, presenting different characters that clash with each other so the danger is not limited to the outside only. It is a story of survival, imagine what it would be like to live in a house without looking outside, if possible, blindfolded and guided by the sense of hearing. If you are wondering what the story has to do with the title of the film, it is that the birds manage to perceive danger and become the allies of Malorie and his companion, who together manage to survive for several years.

Es una pel铆cula dist贸pica, que se basa en el fin del mundo vi茅ndolo desde una perspectiva religiosa, ya que la humanidad se enfrenta a un virus que no se entiende muy bien, solo sabemos que hay algo en 茅l air茅 y si una persona lo ve se transformar谩 en una especie de zombi que buscar谩 hacer da帽o a otros o al mismo. Esta transformaci贸n solo le ocurre a personas sanas mentalmente y las que llegan a ver eso; que est谩 en el medio ambiente o a trav茅s de alguna pantalla pierden la cordura, excluyendo a los enfermos mentales, porque obviamente ya est谩n locos.Protagonizada por mi actriz favorita de Hollywood Sandra Bullock, la historia inicia con Malorie embarazada recibiendo la visita de su hermana y viendo las noticias, pensando que cualquier cosa que est茅 pasando al otro extremo del mundo no las alcanzar铆a tan r谩pido; sin embargo, recordemos que por aire la transmisi贸n de un virus puede ser muy r谩pido, ya lo vivimos con la 煤ltima pandemia COVID-19, tan descabellado no es. Las hermanas asisten a revisi贸n ginecol贸gica y desde all铆 comienzan a ver los ataques de los contagiados, terminando muerta la hermana de Malorie.
Sola y embarazada, es rescatada por un grupo de diferentes personas que invaden una casa y se organizan para sobrevivir, desde este momento el suspenso se mantiene en casi toda la pel铆cula, presentan diferentes personajes que chocan entre s铆 por lo que el peligro no se limita al exterior 煤nicamente. Es una historia de supervivencia, imag铆nate c贸mo ser铆a vivir en una casa sin mirar afuera, si es posible, con los ojos vendados y dej谩ndose guiar por el sentido del o铆do. Si te preguntas qu茅 tiene que ver la historia con el t铆tulo de la pel铆cula, es que las aves logran percibir el peligro convirti茅ndose en los aliados de Malorie y de su compa帽ero, quienes juntos logran sobrevivir por varios a帽os.
The plot seems original to me and, leaving aside fiction, it is not so crazy to think that, in a similar situation, we humans would end up the same way. The film shows us how values shape character, giving an example of friendship, integrity, solidarity and love, as well as their opposites, such as deceit and selfishness.
I didn't like the ending, maybe it was a sudden change from so much action and suspense to an unfunny ending. As a criticism I can not fail to mention that I take away points to the makeup team because throughout the film Sandra Bullock was precisely very made up as if she was ready to go shopping, I felt incongruence with the argument, if the character is suffering from shortages of water, food, housing, clothing in addition to hide, crawl and more how is it possible that she is always with mascara, eyeliner and lipstick. I think this was not necessary, why keep a beautifying makeup to Sandra when she is a beautiful woman, they should keep a makeup according to the circumstances of the character, I noticed that I am very clueless that will remain for others.
It is a good movie but I would not repeat it, I give it a score of 7/10 is a good choice when there is nothing better to see. If you have already seen it, tell me if you observed the same thing I did?

El argumento me parece original y, apartando la ficci贸n, no es tan disparatado pensar que, en una situaci贸n parecida, nosotros los humanos terminemos igual. La pel铆cula nos muestra c贸mo los valores moldean el car谩cter, dando ejemplo de amistad, integridad, solidaridad y amor, tambi茅n de sus opuestos, como el enga帽o y el ego铆smo.El final no me gust贸, tal vez fue un cambio brusco pasar de tanta acci贸n y suspenso a un cierre sin gracia. Como cr铆tica no puedo dejar de mencionar que le quito puntos al equipo de maquillaje porque durante toda la pel铆cula Sandra Bullock estuvo precisamente muy maquillada como si estuviera lista para ir de compras, sent铆 incongruencia con el argumento, si el personaje esta padeciendo de escasez de agua, alimentos, vivienda, ropa adem谩s de ocultarse, arrastrase y de m谩s como es posible que siempre este con mascara de pesta帽as, delineador de ojos y labiales. Creo que esto no era necesario, para qu茅 mantener un maquillaje embellecedor a Sandra cuando es una mujer hermosa, debian mantener un maquillaje acorde a las circunstancias del personaje, yo lo note que soy bien despistada que quedar谩 para los dem谩s.
Es una pel铆cula buena pero que no repetiria, le doy una puntuaci贸n de 7/10 es una buena opci贸n cuando no hay nada mejor que ver. Si ya la viste, 驴cu茅ntame si observaste lo mismo que y贸?
