While the movie had its moments, it wasn't one that you might remember years to come. But all in all it was entertaining enough to sustain one's attention throughout. At times it was predictable and had moments where it lulled. A few predictable moments and a sense that it really wasn't going anywhere and that the writer didn't really know how to end it. However, overall a 3.5 star movie i feel. The end of the world theme has been done countless times and I had a foreboding feeling that this film would go down the same road as a movie I watched recently with steve corell. But much to my surprise it remained darker and less formated (although it had its moments as well). The problem with "independent cinema" is that it's like alternative music. It gives you a reaction to the mainstream however it is not a genre in and of itself. Much of what is touted as independent remains to be a slightly altered version of the mainstream. I still prefer the quirkier alternative to its forefather but independent film is in my view a misnomer.
