Quite a mixed bag in terms of quality and also my feelings about this film. Some beautiful scenery and cinematography; some fairly good acting; a simplistic plot which touches on some deep issues but not with any great depth; character arcs ranging from fair to what-the-heck.
One role in particular takes a sudden improbable turn that just seems very out of place based on everything up to that point. Another is presented as a hard-core survive-at-any-cost type only to make some remarkably careless errors.
The main character Sam has a certain beauty in her naivete about the world, but it seems incongruous given her assumed upbringing by mother.
For a post-apoc survival film, relatively light hearted up until the last ten minutes when we plunge (a bit too abruptly) into the hinted but veiled-to-now darkness.
I could have given it 7.5 stars, but there was a distinct theme of women good/ men bad, religion bad that, while it was more subtle than most was still predictable and tiresome... a character arc was wrenched violently out of line to fulfill that theme, an ill fit to the story. 6.5 stars.

Movie is slow but the ending does make up for it a bit. Could have been so much better if they just showed the other people still alive in other camps. If u have nothing else to watch it's OK. A one time watch movie.

Very low budget film about, yet again, the end of civilization. Despite it's budget, some of it is quite cleverly done and the acting is pretty good. However, some of the writing is not very logical which is pretty necessary when filming with little money. This is a very forgettable film that might not have been with better writing, especially for the lead character's behavior and motivations or worse, her seeming to forget their importance from time to time.

Was pretty well presented survival story. Turned off when (what I assume is)the male lead appeared. Did not want, was not the movie thought it would be.
First like 20 minutes is a 10 then becomes 1/10.

I love all the surprises in this movie, definitely not predictable all the way through it.
Sam is amazing, strong and likable and the church scene is awesome with Dart and Sam. I finished watching the movie with lots of questions and it gave you a lot to ponder. The narration makes the movie, I loved it!!!

Okay first of all, i watched this a little while ago and was telling my friend about it but i forgot the title. Im so glad i finally found it! Though it explores the tired end of the world trope, i didn't mind, because it did it so well. The scenes are beautiful and i loved how it used collages to narrate the story. I do wish, however that the relationship with the main character and the friend was explored further. Will definitely be on the lookout for other movies by this director!!

It's hard to explain what exactly makes this movie so good, it's really just something you have to experience for yourself.
