Holy crap I can't believe all the negative reviews. I tend to be more critical than most but this movie is a masterpiece. Every shot draws you in with an eerie suspense. There is so much conversation that allows you to understand the characters on a deep level, their fears, etc. that you don't always get. Most end of the world / doomsday movies are just a bunch of action without real character development and storytelling. This one takes a more realistic approach to an end of the world scenario and focuses more on the characters. The audience learns little clues throughout the movie about what's going on, keeping you on the edge of your seat. Just watch it.

I was deeply moved by this movie. I never cry during movies, but this one brought me to tears. The abortion procedures depicted were realistic and difficult to watch. The acting was heartfelt and authentic. Abby's story was hard to fathom, but she is an incredible inspiration. I am so moved wth sadness for all of the precious souls who were denied the right to live.

It's a super interesting concept being stuck in a room for 50 days, but the movie felt a bit unpolished. First of all if there was more back story for the characters in the beginning and why they chose to be in the experiment, I would have connected to them better. One thing that threw me off was when there is a montage of them spending time in the room and the clock shows 24 days left, but after the montage it shows 30 something days left. The fact that this mistake was in the movie made it feel thrown together. I like how it explores the psychosis that they experience from being in the room, and we also get some of their back stories through dialogue. I didn't really relate to the characters though and the ending was just okay. There was a good theme that life is more about experience and connection than money. Overall an interesting and psychological movie that would have benefitted from more fleshed out and relatable characters.
