I don’t even know what I just spent two hours watching. I was excited because I like all the actors in the movie. Bonnie from the vampire diaries? Yes please! And who doesn’t love Theo James?
Starts off with some mysterious and supposedly catastrophic event on the west coast, that causes the entire country to lose power and cell service. Dad and future son in law have to drive cross-country to save daughter/Theo’s pregnant girlfriend. Most of the movie was the two of them driving and fighting people along the way that try to kill them. All the while they are trying to get to the girlfriend/daughter Sam (aka Bonnie from TVD) in Seattle. Also there was a character named Rickie with them, who eventually runs away and is never reintroduced. Then Will (Theo) finally reaches her somewhere outside of the city of Seattle, which is now a pile of rubble. Sadly, Dad has passed away at this point. Then the whole movie ends with Sam and Will reunited and trying to outrun a gigantic fiery cloud of smoke (supposedly caused by a second catastrophic event that they never explain) and then the screen turns to black.
I mean, was it an atomic bomb? An attack by extraterrestrials? Just your normal run-of-the-mill natural disaster? What happened to Rickie? I guess no one will ever know.
