I fast forwarded to the end thinking there might be some 'big' ending but alas... the entire movie was boring and lame from start to finish. Some characters even talked in a monotonic tone as if they were also bored to even be in the movie.
Where were the post-nuclear mutations? Rats the size of cars? Come on!
If you have some time to waste and you are looking for something to do I recommend going outside and watching the clouds float by as you will find much more entertainment than you might find from watching this movie... or perhaps watching paint dry is your thing...
In any event, please do yourself a favor and pretend you never even knew that this movie existed and your life will be richer because of it.

This post apocalyptic story of a single person living life alone on Earth, has the earmarks of being fairly inspired. There is some good to this, and some bad.
First, the bad, which brings the movie way down, is the poor sound quality. You can't understand a word without closed caption. It can't be done.
That said, we plod along through this story, which is "style over substance" so to speak, as we get the style of quiet depression, and that's fair enough. We're dealing with a sole survivor all alone, in this case a woman for a change, which is something Hollywood has hated to do.
This movie does dare a little bit, although there are some formula traits. The woman being the last person on Earth is fresh. In almost every such movie, it's always a "married man". Can't be a bachelor, or a woman. Has to be a married man, so this movie does dare to break the Hollywood formula big time.
There is the "corporate greed" formula, which would be fair to show, except it's very trite. Perhaps in twenty years that won't be so overdone, and the production team members obviously think so.
The low budget look gives the impression of the production team deciding on location even before some of the dialog is written. The flashback settings are very dull, and the apocalyptic settings are actually more interesting. Yet our heroine seems to miss the dullness of the people. That's another weakness, the motivation. The dialog is not nearly as bad as most modern TV and movie dialog, but it's not supreme.
This should have been better. Better sound alone would help. And perhaps making the characters somewhat more motivated.
In the near future, the Omni Tech Corporation develops an expensive shield to protect Earth from the global warming. However the project fails and all the inhabitants die. In Portland, Oregon, Lilith (Suzanne Tufan) is the only survivor. While she scavenges supplies on the wasteland, she recalls her middle-class life with her husband Simon Prime (Jon Ashley Hall) before the Apocalypse.
"Population: 2" is a depressive, boring and messy sci-fi. The plot is confused from the title and there are many unanswered questions. Why population 2 if there is only one survivor? Why Lilith has survived the Apocalipse? Who are the pilot and the guy in the control tower and what is the objective of the flight? Did Simon give a Pandora pill to Lilith in her glass of wine? Is that why he committed suicide? Where are the habitats where the Omni Tech Corporation executives have protected themselves? My vote is three.

I wish I could unwatch this.... Purely was curious about this one, because ( going by title) to me it was an obvious follow up/remake of it's awesome predecessor Population: 1. Only a puking gargoyle could have been more off the truth: this flick ( and I use that term very positively now) has nothing to do whatsoever with said predecessor and what I came to watch was nothing but a slow moving, never ending stale production of something that should have been locked up in a non-existing online dungeon. Everyone 'acting' here should lower their heads in shame every time it comes up in a friendly chat. I'm not a fan, as you obviously can see...burn this movie and let nobody in the future ever know it actually was recorded.
Can I give it negative stars? I'm certainly glad to hear about the struggles that Gil Luna and Jonathan Stark had making this movie. But let me tell you about the struggles I had staying awake. It starts out slow and goes down hill from there. And if you get excited about hearing a couple of fighter pilots babble endlessly between themselves, while they fly along and we watch graphics that look like a flight sim from 10 years ago....this is for you. Why that's even in the movie, I don't know. Doesn't add anything to the movie at all. And that's saying something. I found myself wishing the only survivors would just give it up and die, then it would be over.
