A Room Full of Nothing

It started out with an interesting premise -- being able to spend your time in solitude with the person you love. It quickly fell apart. First of all, it was annoying AF to keep having all the flashblacks/scenes beating you over the head with just how cutesy and perfect this couple are for each other. The movie was probably stuffed with 50% filler of just the two of them laughing, laughing, laughing. Nobody laughs that much. Oh, and rolling around on the bed, again, laughing, playing rock/paper/scissors, and games. Which was weird, because this couple had zero sexual chemistry. Glad we were saved from any awkward sex scenes, since they acted more like brother/sister.

I could overlook a lot of that, but the story just went nowhere interesting. If they'd cut out half the cutesy crap and added in some scenes showing them breaking into their neighbor's house for supplies, or how they got food etc., for months, that would have at least added some interest.

It didn't help that there were huge plot holes that nobody even tried to address. Why were they so incurious? Didn't even bother turning on the TV, computer, or radio for news? But, didn't have newspaper delivery one day and that was all the proof they needed that all human life had disappeared?

It didn't even work as a comedy. I don't find it hilarious to watch tedious scenes showing how cute a couple is together and how much they laugh. Nothing funny happened. Nothing scary happened. It should have been a short film, because it ended up being a movie full of filler.

I usually love movies and television series about odd occurences like this. The 1960's Last Man on Earth (movie) was great. As was the more recent television series of the same name. This movie, however, was a boring disaster. There was absolutely nothing that made it worth my time. Save your time and money. Wish I would have!

What if you really get what you wish for? This movie made me laugh way more than I expected and then made me think way harder than I expected.

Cinematic moral tale, bit like Vivarium (2020), where the Universe looks to punish vain wishes of mortals. Nice enough young couple, exploring their struggles for artistic and spiritual self-fulfillment, save the irony that they're "upper-crust" living out privileged fantasies rather than, like many, working at 7-11, and homes without a front garden. Looks again like it was an all-woman casting team picking out a very good-looking guy, but choosing a 'Big Bang Theory' for a wife.

When you read the story it's actually promising. I watched the last man on Earth and liked it. Anyway I decided to give a chance to this one but couldn't be able to finish it. So boring. You will lose nothing if you skip it.
