One of the two or three worst movies I have ever sat through. I cannot believe I kept giving it five more minutes!!!!! Deserves zero stars. — Not a single likable character, — A cobbled-together collection of disjointed scenes. (See 4th bullet point.) — An ending that was only “good” because it signaled the end of the movie. — There is no effective, impactful, or meaningful purpose to the movie. After seeing the preview with the oil tanker grounding on the beach, I thought, “Hmmm, this might be interesting.” Boy, was I wrong!!! Oil tanker grounding, airplane crashing, drone dropping leaflets (?) (made me think of the crop dusting scene in “North By Northwest”), loud sounds (from where?), deer appearing in droves (implied menace, then nothing), teenage son’s teeth falling out (but only his), elitest and self-righteous and self-obsessed princess daughter declaring to her father that the white boy wants her (put more crudely, of course), Teslas crashing, flocks of birds leaving, young daughter just heads out and wanders into a huge house and gets into the owner’s survival bunker, then smoke and destruction in Manhattan. Relief at last!!!!!!!! — Writers whose main technique of fleshing out characters appears to be seeing how many times that can make everyone say the f-word. I knew nothing about the movie when I started. Reading reviews on this site, I learned the Obamas were involved with this project. I guess that is the only reason it has gotten any support (such as, “the most talked about movie in the world” — really?). Whatever you do, do yourself a favor: DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME WATCHING THIS MOVIE!!!! You will regret it.
