I think conspiracy people are making a bigger deal out of it they should. He's always been paranoid and I bet it isn't the first bunker he's built

I just about gave up in the opening scene when Julia Roberts is standing by a window, the camera zooms in on her aggressively to the point where you can see the pores on her nose, and she's like, "I hate this world" and I'm like WTF who made this s**t.

Which is too bad because apocalypse films are my favorite, because I do in fact hate everything about late stage capitalism.

Can someone watch the rest of this dumb movie and tell me if it's worth the rest of my Friday night.

It is

Hopefully the son gets better with the medicine - I’m assuming they all reunite in the shelter.

Only Christians are not of this world. It’s a dead end and only Christians see it clearly. Everything else is fiction in the end.

+1 I DNF and don’t have plans to watch the movie.

I thought it was realistic that a young person of color might have more distrust of white people (in 2023) than their parents. I liked that the movie addressed that.

It’s a movie about the end….the end of what exactly, we don’t know. It was thought-provoking and left us with a sense of unease. That was the whole point.

It is very American to want the story wrapped up neatly with a bow at the end.

They have trained you to like pablum.

I thought she was incredibly rude, obnoxious, and full of herself. Of course the Julia Roberts character was leery about letting two complete strangers in the house, much less letting them spend the night - her husband should have been just as concerned. Their race had nothing to do with that. I wouldn't have let two strangers in, regardless of what they looked like. And then the daughter tells her father that Clay wants to have sex with her. As if.

Do you live in NYC or DC. There are 56-year-old mothers of 13-year-olds. all over the DMV and NYC. NBD.

There is me, for example (66 year old mother of a 23 year old)

Yes, both the book and movie have a feeling of unease. Even though it's not a horror or thriller, I had strange post apocalyptic dreams after watching.

I thought this part was pretty well done - generating a growing sense of unease but you don't really know the source. You get a real horror vibe for a good part of the movie and then it starts to become clear that it's man made events and there's a different sense of horror. I agree that the ending was unsatisfying, but it also made sense.

It was realistic that sometimes you have to reassure your children when you yourself are scared and do not know what is going to happen.

How did everyone feel on 9/11?

The irony is her father and Julia Rtberts wanted to have sex with each other.
