Just wanna share this movie i watched a week ago. Would like to hear people's opinion of the movie, perhaps i get some perspective from it. Based on the title i was expecting a more disaster + end of the world type movie like a mash between, Dont Look Up, and maybe Dante's Peak or 2012 the movie. Intriguing movie, but not as exciting or blockbuster as most disaster films. Was surprise to learn about obama's involvement in the movie after watching it. Only watched it because Mahershala ali was in it. Hoping to see another gem like the GreenBook. The end was quite unsatisfying. This movie is like a roller coaster ride that only climbs up slowly and ends at the top without the drops and dips. Otherwise, you get a movie with loads of tension building, somewhat contrasting characters to relate with. There is alot of relating to do in this movie to understand or to appreciate this film. Otherwise is a major let down (for me). But i would give a solid 6/10 cups of kopi.
my unoriginal opinion of the movie and minor spoilers.

writing this as my reaction to the whole KK mart ordeal in malaysia. Little mistake for some, big deal to most. Is this a start or maybe a kindle to something similar like in "leave the world behind" or a repeat of a darker time? Surprise to see this level of reaction from Malaysians when just two years ago a more offensive product from mr diy did not have the same reaction. KK now has apology messages on all their monitors @ cash register. Will see how things develop. Malaysia doesn't feel the same anymore. National and social unity is on the backbench i guess.
this movie was abit annoying at first (for me). slow in the beginning, like most horror movies. to build that tension. you keep wondering. who is the bad guy. what is the gonna happen. this is a horrow show? disaster show? red dawn? apocalypse? the director makes you stay in that tension. you keep waiting, expecting the roller coaster ride to actually drop into the exciting part. but all i got was blueballs in the end. like your partner comes out giving a striptease, you get naked, you watch, you yearn, then your partner was about to grab ur log buddy, she leaves. and all you can do is stare at the ceiling.
Closing to end of the movie, finally mister mysterious finally spills the tea, what he thinks, what he knows, after both sides finally trusting each other after the whole medicine ordeal with mister " its the K0r3as". America is in chaos, premeditated. All it needed was one total blackout, for society to collapse. No internet, No radios, No cell tower Signal. Misinformation is rampant, misunderstandings leading to chaos and anarchy. neighbor against neighbor. Free for all. Obama is involved you say? Looking at America today, from the outside, you would think America is on the brick of civil war, reds and blues, border issues, mistrust of government, Pray to lord Trump as america's salvation. there are also parallels in the europe, whom are divided on the Ukrainian issue, the Palestinian Issue, even refugees within their countries.
Characters in the movie are suppose to be some stereotyped person you know in your life. Seems silly tho in a disaster film. the little girl, devout follower of friends the tv show, by being obsessed with friends, she found salvation in the bunker to finally see the end she been yearning for. the teen son, the 0 f given guy. If the world is ending, why should i care. Im safe, why should i care. seems to have teenage insecurities. the black teen, comes off like a smartass, because of her age, tho considering everyone is on edge, i find her to be quite empathic and sometimes a little straight forward that puts off people. black father, burdened with knowledge, dude tries to remain claim for both families while he tries to navigated thru this mess. white mother, you know people like this. you see it everyday if you interact with enough people. but a mother gonna do what a mother gotta do. white father, dude really need that holiday, deal with his wife, kids fak knows where, family man, needs a break.
Is there a proper end to this movie? idk didnt read the book. "Ill be there for you" ending just gave me more reason to think there is some NWO cabal influencing and programming people what to think. Plane crash scene was a little exciting, because i downloaded this movie on netlflix to watch on a flight home. Trippy. Then there is that last nuke scene, so many questions, i feel there should be a part2. but cant bare being blueballed again. If there is lesson to all this, be that crazy but prepared guy. If your ready for anything, you wont be caught off guard. and Be more compassionate, more understanding, more tolerant.
Kkmart as usual lah need to use R&R to win support and vote for next GE or straightaway a no confidence vote on current government. Sikit sikit to wrestle power before madani can be shown to be successful to do anything for the country.
