The cinematography was pretty good and the acting was good but the interaction between the two main characters was generic.
A slow pace as the Boy and girl ride bicycles across America to some promised land that post apocalyptic movies always seem to have to give the film a destination for its journey Even if a platitude is not a bad idea. The problem is the film took forever to get there with only an interaction with hillbillies. Ofcourse one.of.the hillbillies seem to be the intellectual of.the group sputtering rhetoric and to justify their actions.
The ending and resolution of the conflict was rushed as if deliberately again while the film.was.slow and tedious up to that point. Clichéd and just going through the motions. Basically boring.

The filmmakers cared a lot about how things looked - both in terms of cinematography and two main actors. Unfortunately, they cared about visuals much more than they cared about the script, which is riddled with contrivance and occasionally outright nonsense.
Survival teen is smart/informed enough to subsist on his own but is apparently blind because he can't see he's riding his bike into a 20-foot-diameter pit. The plausibility of his actions just decline from there.
Bad guys show up and end up magically tracking down survival guy and his new friend who are riding away on bikes for days while bad guys meander at a snail's pace through the countryside. It's absurd.
I won't, uh, "spoil" the ending, but after a *very* briefly promising twist, the resolution is just patently stupid/unbelievable.
I normally read reviews before taking a chance on stuff like this, but for various reasons, I skipped the reviews this time. Lesson learned.

I love post-apocalyptic dramas, so I tend to give less-critical reviews of films in this genre.
Unfortunately, I can't do that with this film. It has very good potential, but the script and editing are dreadful. The story has incoherent scenes and sequences, along with implausible plot lines. It feels amateurish. There is some decent acting, and some of the cinematography is very good.
It's a low budget movie, and understandably, that makes it hard to do everything necessary to make a quality film. The script and the editing are usually the things that can be salvaged on a low budget, but wasn't done here.
What we're left with is a good potential story that is badly told, not so much by the actors, but by the director and editor.

Very minimal plot which I really enjoyed. It kind of had that Napoleon dynamite of the Apocalypse movies. Not a lot of hundred mile an hour zombie action undulating emotional roller coaster type of thing which is also good sometimes... But like some of the other reviews said kind of like what would you do in this situation kind of deal and some good character development. It inspires me to watch more of the Director and his other films. And also inspires me to read more about some of the doomsday prepping. If anything I would really have loved to see snapshots of more of the worldwide scope of what happened and maybe some more global view just to give it more than apocalyptic feel.
The main lead is young and very inexperienced. The other characters are convincingly experienced and the characters fairly well-developed. The story-line is decent. It's basically a slice-of-life Post Apocalyptic film. There is some violence and one would wish there wasn't in such a situation. But human nature, insanity and selfishness has gotten us where we are... and look at this mess of a world we live in.
Fairly convincing, a simple story but complete and well-rounded. The one major flaw of the film (and pointed out by so many here) is three not-so-fit rednecks managing to keep up with and track two much younger and fit people riding bicycles on asphalt. That's just goofy. How did that absurd plot line make it all the way through the writers, directors and production team without someone saying, "Hey, wait a second."
Add to that the cliche "PA violent redneck" theme that's been done to death in such films... and as realistic as such scenario might be, one could wish they'd have come up with something more original and believable.

- BlooperRiding bikes down the road, Ava has the gun attached to a pouch on the front wheel axle and she's using it to help steer. As she continues her conversation with Addison, the gun is nowhere to be seen and she has both hands on the handlebars, and a couple moments later, she is back steering with the gun, having not stopped or been out of shot long enough to have altered her handling of the bike.
