Interesting idea, but rotten execution. Incredibly predictable towards the end.
A few scenes particularly rubbed me the wrong way. In one, Candice gets full-on hit by a car then a few minutes later, she's up and walking around like nothing happened. (And for a bunch of starving people, folks are awfully energetic.) Then the final scene with the survivors driving away -- there is literally no part of that scene that I liked -- the way it was filmed, the dialogue, the whole premise of the scene. Mariah Bonner and/or the director may have been trying to channel the spirit of Juliette Lewis there, but it just did not work for me at all.
I liked Cooper Huckabee, but that's about the only thing I did like about the film. The rest of it is just simply awful. Runyan and Ezrin's origin story is so beyond ridiculous -- who knew that exposure to methane turned you into a giant suppurating raisin?!
Geez, the more I write, the more I think about this film, the more annoyed I get! Just don't watch it.
