This is a beautifully shot, expensive looking and decently acted film with a good cast. What a shame the script is so dire and the characters so bland and unlikable.

It trudges through the obligatory scenes of apocalyptic survival - holing up with strangers, dangerous supply run, gradually watching the cast shrink as supplementary characters die off. Even the last was lacking in any sense of revelatory anticipation since, as it is in flashback, we already know who survives.

This really is a weak B movie that thinks it is an A movie. Slightly better than The Happening, which at least knew it was a B movie, with one or two nice moments but very few surprises, an unlikable main character and little variety in emotional colour.
