I'm OK

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.

This late Sunday night, I chose this movie due to being a post-apoc fanatic. For a low budget, film, I enjoyed it more than most of the Prime movies I've seen over the years. After a long and slow start, I was HOOKED once the plot shift occured. Instead of having all my questions answered, I feel the director did a SUPERB job of controlling the flow of the story, leaving PLENTY of room for prequels and sequels if desired. I don't want to sound bias at all, but with the lack of over the top special effects, I am very satisfied with my choice, and highly recommend if you like great finales.

This is a gem that deserves it's place among movie lovers' "I've Seen That" list.

I thought this was a good thought provoking movie. The movie isn't big on details. This movie would be great for a college course to drive a critical thinking discussion.

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.

Yeah this was a weird one - started off very slow, snails pace would be unfair to a snail. The acting wasn't perfectly natural but the lead didn't have much to work with so did his best (perhaps when rocking out to a song they've got license to, he could've listened to it a little more). The other actors look the part, except for the one playing the mother, who's not a natural motherly actor so I'm not sure why the gender swap.

The film rushes it's last act, and as the below interviewer pointed out, the chase at the end is patently absurd and unbelievable. At times things just happened to keep the script moving.

The film did look beautiful though - would've worked better as a nature doco.
