The only reason you are reading this is because you watched it and know how AMAZINGLY GOOD IT IS! and now youre just looking for someone to put it into words. Let's just accept it, There are none.

It isn't slow. It isn't boring.

It is funny. It is well scripted. It has good character development. It has all the good story stuff.

Don't expect no Kaboom or Kapow. Expect only LOVE and growth!

Watch it so that you can go around saying "I watched a darn good movie"

Cheerio

It was good to see it wasn't "Bird Box (2018)" but nonetheless it still failed.

It started out with a good pace where we are introduced to the characters and quickly are familiar with what they are more likely to do in such a scenario. The casting was great and the family was pretty believable.

But the story, or more like where it went after the first half of the film, just, in plain words, failed. Let's just say it took an unnecessary turn. I was expecting the movie to be about meeting other survivors, finding out unique and smart ways to survive, or even see what the world is doing about it. Instead I got something that made me say "really? do you really think that is what will happen?". I am not going to spoil the movie but will say this, if I had only watched the first half of this movie, I would have actually enjoyed it to a good amount.

I do definitely want to see these actors in another apocalyptic movie but with a better script that does not tell a similar-already-told-story.

If you look past Neil and Ellen Wistin's cast's acting, this movie is pretty good. The plot is sound and the movie wasn't boring. It was slow but they didn't stretch it out longer than this movie should be. I think the movie got it's message across.

And it leaves you with a question as to why is the US still going on with it's drone strikes if they know that the collateral damages/civilian casualties will just facilitate terrorist groups get more bodies on their side? They are fabricating terrorists themselves and then going around killing them; and in that process, killing more civilians leading to more terrorists.

It is a pretty good movie for one time watch. Give it a go if you are not looking for something thrillingly entertaining but just a casual Friday afternoon.
