Add some other one-off characters played by Demi Moore, Craig Robinson and Alexandra Daddario, and you have a reasonably talented cast who are not given that much to work with. The two bad guys, Peter Stormare and Bradley Whitford, are uninspired and boring, with neither getting to do anything particularly memorable. However, their story feels bland, and very derivative of a load of other doomed romance stories. The two main romantic leads, played by KJ Apa and Sofia Carson, get the majority of the screen time, and their arc is the one that's arguably best worked out. The movie has trouble finding its own identity however, following several different plotlines, none of which are thoroughly worked out. With the Covid pandemic as its backdrop, and a dystopian near future as its setting, 'Songbird' had all the ingredients for at least a solid thriller. There was some potential here, and if anything, it should have allowed viewers to perfectly relate to what the characters in this movie are going through. No amount of screen or sound is going to make the film any better than it already isn't. Honestly, wait for it to come out on a streaming service. The film was slow, emotionless, and a waste of time. The most engaging sub-story was the one with a military veteran trying to help an internet personality escape her oppressor, and I felt that story was stronger than the main one. There was no spark, no emotion that made me feel the leads were truly in love, or had any connection that would've brought them together. Hearing there were "Q-zones", and people trying to fight back, I assumed there would be riots and intense action to show how tired people were for being oppressed and contained of the virus. While classified as a comedy, drama, and romance, I felt very little to no emotion within each of those categories. Based off both the trailer, and the description, this film falls way short of its intent. I was filled with skepticism going into this film. While the trailer hinted at a decent story. I thought this film would be much more similar to the outbreak, and subsequent emptiness that was found in "I Am Legend". Minus the whole zombie apocalypse aspect. Overall this was just a waste of time and money. I didn't care about the sickly little girl character. The side stories didn't add much to the plot either. But why the villain did what he did was unclear. It was understood what nico and sara wanted. Another thing is it is supposed to be a broken down society but the setting has manicured lawns, super clean streets I was thinking, "man, even though it's armageddon, gardner's, lawn people, and street cleaners, are still working." More development on the villain would have helped, his speech about thinking he is a god because he is immune was stupid as far as motivation. The plot could have been more interesting if Sara would have been taken to a q zone and and then Nico could team up with rebels to break her out. I knew this was a stinker when I didn't care one iota when the grandmother died. What could have been a heartbreaking, interesting, action packed dystopian movie with a real back drop of the covid virus, instead it turns out to be a boring romance with just a little science in the background.
