Not every movie has to be filled with explosions and narrating the story for you. I read other reviews that this movie was boring, but I found it alluring. It reflects life, in the sense that not everything has answers and the viewer is never given the answer as to what happened to cause the apocalypse and you are left to watch it unfold. Instead of focusing on getting the viewer to form an opinion on the characters through background or becoming emotionally attached, you are viewing the unfolding as if you just woke up one day and followed them, without getting to ask questions, just silently documenting these strangers you know nothing about. It forces your mind to make up your own narrative about them, hence the quietness of the movie itself, just like a real apocalypse scenario would be if you were to watch 2 people like a fly on the wall. Why would they talk about things they already know about eachother? They've been in a relationship for some time, so their conversations arent going to fill you in on their personal pasts. I liked this movie because of that. That it focused more on the "now" and not anything else. You just tagged along with them silently and i found that fresh and different. And even the ending i found myself immersed in his thoughts as the credits scrolled until it faded. I was still like whaaaaaaat all the way up to the end. I liked how they filmed it, and how they spliced vertain scenes together, i thoroughly enjoyed this film.
