Terrifying....in more ways than one. The red head mom is TERRIFYING. One of the scarier movies I've seen in a while and I am not easily scared by movies. It's not easy to get me to the point of looking between my fingers when covering my eyes lol. Which means it will scare the kids too. The reason it's geting 3 stars is because the family is extremely dysfunctional and if you see it, you'll know what i mean. Apparently now, you're not allowed to talk about it because everyone is offended, even by facts. Now more than ever, it's imperative that we protect them from the horrors of this world. If you can look past that, it's a good scare.

Two stars at best. It was terrible. The female lead had nothing but an attitude while the male character was weak and crying the entire movie! If the director thought it met today's norms, it didn't. It isn't attractive to see the female be masculine and the male be a crybaby wuss. There's no backstory to him or her, really. We don't feel sorry for any of them and didn't connect with any of the characters except the cat. What an absolute flop this was. I mean, you're going to have to watch it for yourself because, obviously, we were all waiting for this to come out on digital. Just don't say I didn't warn you.

I can't stand when people copy paste a perfectly good movie just to give it bad reviews. This review is truly coming from my heart. I honestly believe this movie deserves ZERO STARS. Julia Robert's was the only believable character in this movie. That being said: Horrible movie. If I could leave zero stars I would. I would say the Obama’s should stick to politics but unfortunately I can’t say that either. Regardless, this review sums it up very well: Zero stars needs to be an option. One reviewer posted an excellent review of this movie, so I had to copy and paste. "If you care about using your time wisely, then avoid this film like the plague. But if you like watching terribly written media, then by all means grab a snack and relax. Because this film is the embodiment of utter garbage. The first, and to me, the greatest red flag is seeing the Obamas as executive producers. The movie just changed far too many times, giving you more questions than answers. Family on the beach, a supposed home invasion, planes crashing, a brat obsessed with Friends, hackers start the end of the world, animals migrate for no apparent reason, son is poisoned by radiation yet no one else is and not to mention the blatant racial themes etc. Just a heaping mess of a pile. None of the characters are developed and slowly turn against each other. Situations like these would bring you together, not force you apart. You’d come to hate a few others, such as the daughter who treats Friends like a god and the other daughter, Ruth, who not only has a spoiled attitude but she assumes things on everyone and also believes you should never trust white people. I wish I were joking. And I quote: "I'm asking for you to remember that if the world falls apart, trust should not be doled out easily to anyone, especially white people." This had no relevance to the film at all! If this statement was flipped around, watch how things would go. I guess her name “Ruth” is short for ruthless. Because she did not act nice to anyone, not even her own father at times. If they removed her from the script, it would have made this film somewhat better. But not enough to save it. But the fact this made it through production baffles me. Then again, remind yourself of who the executive producers were. As for the “terrorist” act itself, it just isn’t clear which nation is the main driving force of it all. First some Arabic country to then either Korea or China. No idea because this is never answered. Nor were a lot of things. Where was the military? The actual forces of the nation. Apparently they do not exist, so everyone has to fend for themselves. Granted we do live in a technological world, but planes wouldn’t be crashing nor boats intentionally grounding themselves if everything was hacked. Analog exists. Pilots can still operate a plane without working apparatus etc. I’d go on but other reviews capture the level of frustration this “movie” brings the table. It’s bad. At least the daughter got to watch the last episode of Friends, after running off with neither brains nor brawn. Ate a large supply of food and somehow, found a VHS tape that oh so conveniently had Friends. Leaving her family to die. I wonder what she’ll think after the episode is over. Probably happiness, not a care for her family, as a show takes more priority than the end of the world." If I could give this movie a rating less than one star I would. A bunch of clowns.

One of my favorite shows of all time. I became obsessed in the first season and I bingewatch every season. What a great cast. I mean ALL of them are just spectacular. I've never seen any of them before, being a Norwegian, lower budget film, but wow. The second and third season are better than the first. More people need to see it because it doesn't have enough credit. Just start the first episode. You'll be coming back for more!
