Survival Code actually isn’t an entirely terrible flick but it is a low budget, made-for-TV affair with some standard action and fight scenes. Even so, some might find it to be mildly entertaining and with a short running time, makes for a quick watch.

PLOT SUMMARY
In 2045 A.D., a steadily shrinking ice cap leaves several countries struggling for control of the town of Borealios and the last untapped oil, gas and mineral deposits on the planet. Vic (TY OLSSON), a former ultimate fighter, has bribed and manipulated his way into a position of authority, and controls the only way in or out. When the UN sends in corrupt officials, Vic must take matters into his own hands by returning to his roots to challenge a local Russian group to a cage fight, with the fate of Burealis hanging in the balance.
SPECIAL FEATURES – 0/5
Other than a redemption code for the digital copy, no other features were included.
Previews – Tapped Out, Puncture Wounds, Reasonable Doubt, Mobius
VIDEO – 3.5/5 | AUDIO – 3.25/5
Survival Code is presented with a 16×9 enhanced 1.78 aspect ratio. Colors are fairly muted and the lower budget does sometimes show, but it’s a fine looking transfer.
The movie comes with a standard and effective enough Dolby Digital 5.1 track.
OVERALL – 2.5/5
Overall, Survival Code actually isn’t an entirely terrible flick but it is a low budget, made-for-TV affair with some standard action and fight scenes. Even so, some might find it to be mildly entertaining and with a short running time, makes for a quick watch. The DVD released by Lionsgate is basic with no features and OK audio/video transfers.
