This movie was suspenseful, the characters had highs and lows. They had an annoying character in the daughter who loves a TV show too much, which is spot on for a 13-year-old. The idea that tech would shut down and leave a majority of people in the dark is accurate. It might seem like an easy story line but if the shoe fits, wear it. People act like that's not exactly what would happen if this scenario played out in real life but it's probably closer to reality than some city-dwellers would care to admit.
