After Darkness

I watched this movie based on the synopsis, it sounded like it could be somewhat interesting. Well I got about twenty minutes in and realized it was going to be one of those nothing movies.

Almost nothing happens for the 90 minutes and the drama between the family isn't tense or interesting all the characters I just didn't really care about. The father is definitely the most interesting character in the movie but that isn't saying much.

Movie isn't god awful bad but just a complete bore of a chore to get through imho.

The sun is going dark for an unknown reason. The Beaty family has gathered at home waiting for rescue that may not come.

This movie has a big idea but the question is what it does with it. It does very little with it. It turns the camera inwards upon this family. It's asking all the small questions. It ignores the one big question. The characters don't deal with it. I also question that the earth is still warm somehow. It should get cold much faster. It should be nuclear winter. Science is not the first concern in this movie with the big sci-fi idea. I'm not even going to question the green grass. At the end of the day, the family drama holds no real drama. Without actual drama, the movie struggles to gain traction.

Like watching paint dry. I like these actors so gave it the benefit of the doubt. Wish I had cleaned out the refrigerator instead.

So, so, so bad. Nothing about this movie is good except that it ends. There are Jr high kids making better movies using their phones-and with better acting! Don't waste a second on this one.

The reviews of this movie share a common mob mentality I've noticed on this and other sites, where several people are bored or have specific expectations of a movie and others tend to chime in.

Yes, this is not an action drama, and there's a lot of sitting, waiting and somber talk, but it held my full interest until the somewhat ambiguous ending. I'd see it for yourself in a setting without distractions and be your own judge.
