Other than the completely out-of-place racist comments (they really shoehorned them in there), the movie was actually pretty good and kind of terrifying.
Kevin Bacon’s character was good. Reminded me of Tremors.
Ending is LAME.
Movie was a B- overall.
Several unrealistic aspects to the scenario.
And yeah the daughter’s racism was obvious. Realistically the movie did not diss whites. It just didn’t. And I do not recall those quotes from the movie. Watched it last night.
I watched it. I couldn’t figure out who the anti white racist daughter reminded me. The First Wookie! Michelle has that inferiority complex chip on her shoulder. I was disappointed in Kevin Bacon’s character (prepper, survivalist). If confronted with foragers asking for free stuff who refused to leave my property and who pointed a gun at me, if I raised my gun it would be to shoot. Brandishing and allowing further negotiations is stupid.
I read the book and watched the movie. There was quite a bit that was left to the imagination. After the ship grounded out on the beach, they mentioned there had been several similar events before. Also, the city lost electricity way before rural. The pileup of white EVs? Was that intentional to stop entry into the city? Plenty of underlying themes in this book and movie.
