A family struggles for survival in the face of a cataclysmic natural disaster.

nice movie.
nothing extraordinary.
effects were pretty good.
storyline is very linear and extremely predictable.

I watched many natural disasters movies.

But somehow this one kind of hits me.

I dunno whether I'd rather died long before this happens or decided to lived through it

Lived underground for months till it all resided.



In the final moments of the movie when the kid mentioned 'flashes' till the end of the movie...I shed a little tear

actually this movie makes it very grounded and realistic.
it's almost like a precise scenario of what would happen if it does happen.

no special heroics like armageddon or geostorm or whatever not.

only thing is the survivors got out pretty easy. i would have thought the impact would be more severe than just dust settling in 9 months.

the other contention was what were the primary driving factor for the family to seek refuge. rather than spending their last precious hours with each other and the father, they decided not to give up to pursue a what if we can make it scenario? guess a lot of families would have opted to savour the last few hours.

I wonder if the 'selection' (wrist band thingy) were true.

Malaysia got such thing?

Whom would they (Malaysian govt) save?

Any bunker to go to?

The name reminded me of "Green Mile", now that was a good movie!

It was good until the end when what 30 people boarded a prop aircraft to fly from a town in Ontario, Canada to their required destination which I won't name as it's a spoiler for those who have not seen it... But really, a turbo prop aircraft does not have the range to make the 3600+ km journey overloaded somemore!

85% of the movie is just the main characters driving away in cars. No need to waste your money here lol.

This movie is alot better than it has any right to be. It is surprisingly realistic and grounded and pretty scary.

It also managed to be relevant with our current time seeing how different people are responding to the pandemic.

Morena Baccarin...among the reason why I watched this movie

Fine actress.

You can feel the sadness when say goodbye to Scott Glenn.

Not a bad moviw
