Let's just say there was a lot of license and a lot of liberties taken to make this story last as long as it did and the viewer is asked to blindly accept a lot of things that just don't make sense or add up (and i'm not even a survivalist! lol).
like who in their right mind would ever try to fell a tree of that size alone, as in without a spotter??? you start with large branches only or already dead-and-fallen trees, not the trunk of a standing live one!! (one that's not even good for burning cause it hasn't seasoned yet!) and why if they needed to cut that tree do they -- months later -- still have enough wood to keep chopping it for fire (remember the chainsaw's broken) PLUS nearly a truckload of large, evenly cut wood to board-up the entire house (just me??) (not even to address the gross of like 5,000 nails she'd need and used!).
when you're trying to survive in a hostile unpredictable world you would always have your gun by your side. always. not in the house somewhere where you have to run and get it! there's no way they had enough food to even get them to the point where they eventually had to forage. and how did that guy happen to find the jeep keys so easily? again wouldn't you secure all the keys to your only vehicle, even if you have to wear them around your frickn neck?? and you'd definitely hide the gas come on people! but no he easily takes off with both! gaaahhh!!
critical incidentals just so casually waved away by...no explanation. page did a great job acting but all-in-all the movie was convenient, nonsensical and ultimately offensive to thinking people. should've used a coherence consultant. or if you want your viewers to forgive such inconsistencies make a better ending (wow) or offer some great revelation. do we have to do everything??? overall just lazy, frustrating, illogical.
