    Thumbs Waaaay Down

    Junior High School Weekend Project (maybe lower, Elementary School).

    Post Apocalypse

    Generation Y or Generation Z absolutely no brains, no survival skills.

    No more Mommy and Daddy to live with to provide food, nor pay the Rent and Utilities.

    No more Internet, Smartphones to "Just Google It" or watch a youtube DIY video.

    Is there anyway to rate this negative stars?

    How do I get a refund of an hour and fifty minutes of my life back?

    I Made An Account Just To Review This Movie

    Wow, where to start.....

    This is undoubtedly the worst movie I've ever seen. Having said that, I kept laughing throughout the entire film.

    First off, the scenery depicted in the still for this movie is 100% misleading to how intrigued you believe the setting for this movie will be. There are two major locations for this film. The first being a scant trailer park in which the main character piddles around for half the movie. Then our "hero" journeys to an abondoned shack with some tents thrown up around it because a half of a poorly made robot convinced him to. Superbly lackluster.

    The second thing I would like to bring up is the camera work. It may have you laughing at some of the director's choices. Albeit the overly long shots of the main character eating or sleeping, which can go on so long you feel like your awkwardly watching a live voyeur feed, or the shaky "a camera stand wasn't in the budget" shots. At one point it almost seems like the cameraman tripped while filming. Pretty good stuff.

    Lastly I want to bring up the acting, or rather the lack thereof. They could not have picked a better person who intentionally seems like they've never even heard the word acting. $20 says it was the directors best friend. Every other character in the movie had exponentially better acting chops than this guy. Every time he ate something he had to nod in acceptance while he chewed, as if to say, "mmm, this is pretty good," and he ate a lot. My personal favorite scene is the minute plus he spent stumbling around pretending to be sick.

    I will definitely be watching the sequel.

    Could have been a short film

    Ugh. This is possibly the slowest film I've ever watched. The core idea wasn't bad, but the execution was terrible. Plot holes and illogical scenes are riddled through the film.

    Ebert would have rated it one middle finger up

    Absolutely the worst written, directed and acted movie ever, and that's being charitable. Only redeeming value is the mountain setting, which reminded me of Saylor Park, Colorado where I used to hike.

    Maybe i can produce my own movie then

    I got more then 1600$ saved up, i can go to a junkyard, put a toy on my back and pretend its a post apocalyptic movie...

    This is how insane 2019 has become, anyone can put a movie out there no matter how bad it is.

    And this one a part the cover art that seems good, is a real piece of junk.

    • Trivia
      This movie became very famous due to its popularity when the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 Coronavirus disease a pandemic.
    • Goofs
      Dylan's character is wearing 'Fresh,' clothing: this is a design attempt to visually poke-fun at what modern-day youth would be concerned about during a Pandemic scenario.
    • Quotes

      Dylan: Do you even feel bad that your company has killed millions of people?

      S.A.M.: I am unable to have feelings toward any given subject. I am programmed to sympathize with Human's who are in distress or turmoil.

      Dylan: So you're programmed to give me a generic response if I am upset?

      S.A.M.: Human's seem to prefer hearing a sympathetic response in opposed to facts, or in many cases, silence.

    • Crazy credits
      The Supporting Character 'S.A.M.' (Broken Robot), is not credited because it was controlled electronically on set.
    • Alternate versions
      This Film's 'Hulu Version' has been the only variation.
