So easy to criticize, but really quite realistic as such movies go. Anyone notice the uniformity of the bad condition of clothing and hygiene? Now that is almost always overlooked in most such movies. Actors with mostly NEW clothing, AND mostly clean shaven. As such, it was nice to see apocalyptic folks that LOOK like people that have little or no access to washing machines and other personal care supplies. Just eat, sleep, fight, and run, and that's pretty much how it would be in
real life. People WOULD be wearing badly damaged clothing, and things would devolve into 'they' (predatory types) and the decent ones just trying to get by without becoming monsters. As for tactical accuracy, the everyday movements were not too bad. The average people are not trained special forces or army rangers! People are clumsy, and TIRED under real survival conditions, especially LONG and open-ended ones. After awhile it comes down to luck, perseverance, and simple
determination, but even then, the laws of averages and the severity of conditions would indeed tend to make the death toll continue to climb as it showed. Let's just hope that like in this movie, more predatory types die than the good folks! I hate seeing the good guys die, but it made me more determined than ever to strive for the way-of-life, and turn away from that old 'Darwinian' crap about "Devil-take-the-hinder-most". That eulogy by the graves was top notch! "And I learned how to care
again". Now THAT is what we all need to start doing in everyday now time, BEFORE it comes to 'grid down', ya know it? Go ahead and 'prep', but seriously QUESTION just what you are doing with your life and self NOW, before it gets to grid down. Do you really care about anything but material ism? Are you really worth saving? Are you truly enough of a Humanist to take the high road if things fall apart? I think that was what this movie really tried, and did a great job of telling us. Two thumbs UP!!
