Featured review
I really enjoyed the setting and cinematography, it's an interesting take for the classic post-apocalyptic story.
I liked the character selection, these kind of movies are all about it, since there's not much interesting variation you can do about a bomb falling or a zombie outbreak.
The setting is as important as the characters.
The acting is serviceable, nothing specially good but it carries the story.
It's true, as some have said in their reviews, the movie is very slow and the two hours length could be shortened a bit.
My biggest complaint about the film is the las 5/10 (it's also so little in comparison with the long running time of the film, it even seems added in a rush) minutes, where there's a turn of events that doesn't feel solid enough to work well, and it also breaks the feeling I was having just before it happens. Of course it's intencional, but it seemed rushed and inconsistent with how the characters were acting so far.
I haven't read the novel in which this film is based, maybe there the ending has a better pace and it works, but here I don't think it does.
Still, I would recommend the film for fans of the post-apocalyptic genre.
