Featured reviews
Agree with other reviews, acting was good, cinematography was most excellent, plot, dialog and some sequences were reeeeeally bad.
If you go in thinking it was a high school film project, you will be impressed. If you pay to see it your inner Karen will likely come out.

The cinematography was pretty good and the acting was good but the interaction between the two main characters was generic.
A slow pace as the Boy and girl ride bicycles across America to some promised land that post apocalyptic movies always seem to have to give the film a destination for its journey Even if a platitude is not a bad idea. The problem is the film took forever to get there with only an interaction with hillbillies. Ofcourse one.of.the hillbillies seem to be the intellectual of.the group sputtering rhetoric and to justify their actions.
The ending and resolution of the conflict was rushed as if deliberately again while the film.was.slow and tedious up to that point. Clichéd and just going through the motions. Basically boring.

Yeah this was a weird one - started off very slow, snails pace would be unfair to a snail. The acting wasn't perfectly natural but the lead didn't have much to work with so did his best (perhaps when rocking out to a song they've got license to, he could've listened to it a little more). The other actors look the part, except for the one playing the mother, who's not a natural motherly actor so I'm not sure why the gender swap.
The film rushes it's last act, and as the below interviewer pointed out, the chase at the end is patently absurd and unbelievable. At times things just happened to keep the script moving.
The film did look beautiful though - would've worked better as a nature doco.

Very minimal plot which I really enjoyed. It kind of had that Napoleon dynamite of the Apocalypse movies. Not a lot of hundred mile an hour zombie action undulating emotional roller coaster type of thing which is also good sometimes... But like some of the other reviews said kind of like what would you do in this situation kind of deal and some good character development. It inspires me to watch more of the Director and his other films. And also inspires me to read more about some of the doomsday prepping. If anything I would really have loved to see snapshots of more of the worldwide scope of what happened and maybe some more global view just to give it more than apocalyptic feel.
I love post-apocalyptic dramas, so I tend to give less-critical reviews of films in this genre.
Unfortunately, I can't do that with this film. It has very good potential, but the script and editing are dreadful. The story has incoherent scenes and sequences, along with implausible plot lines. It feels amateurish. There is some decent acting, and some of the cinematography is very good.
It's a low budget movie, and understandably, that makes it hard to do everything necessary to make a quality film. The script and the editing are usually the things that can be salvaged on a low budget, but wasn't done here.
What we're left with is a good potential story that is badly told, not so much by the actors, but by the director and editor.

- GoofsRiding bikes down the road, Ava has the gun attached to a pouch on the front wheel axle and she's using it to help steer. As she continues her conversation with Addison, the gun is nowhere to be seen and she has both hands on the handlebars, and a couple moments later, she is back steering with the gun, having not stopped or been out of shot long enough to have altered her handling of the bike.
