It has been a few weeks since I last sat through something this bad from start to finish, and really the story, and a few of the stand out characters were the only thing that kept me hanging on through out.
The story is really a shambles, but it is trying really hard to be The Stand from Stephen King, but it is telling so many little stories that you can feel that the production crew had not decided who the story was actually about, and for the viewers the problem is how should you care.
The parts of the movie set in the cul-de-sac are actually the best over all with the way the small group form up, and bond (lucky there is a survivalist in the bunch) The story if the completely inept government officials is ridiculous, and just way to muddled, they had hours to warn people, and no one once says turn off, and unplug your stuff, or put it in the microwave, then in the fridge, or something, anything.
This movie is really not Enjoyable, there are no channels of communication, yet somehow the people in the bunker "know" stuff but they have to use paper, that someone must be printing for them somewhere, and why is a kid in North Carolina wearing a Michigan school jacket?
Too many problems, and the only solution never really makes any sense either, like thinking that if you dream about how to design a car, then in the morning you should be able to draw up the plans, but that is not how things work. So avoid this movie I am sad to say that I can not recommend it, the acting is over the top, and abrupt most of the time, and the story really needed to be read before they started filming.
