I just don't understand....

Rating: 1/10 (21 April 2018)

Honestly....please explain to me how this is a well rated film!
I came out of that theatre with more questions than I went in with, the most poignant among the list being "How in the hell did this do so well?!"
Let's start at the beginning, shall we? Keeping in mind that they have three kids, so this doesn't appear to be their first rodeo, what parent would ever think that a young, naive child is going to happily walk away from a new toy? Um HELLO....he risked nearly knocking it off the shelf and killing the entire family to get it so I would say his intentions were pretty clear. But hell, maybe if I take out the batteries, lay them both here in front of him and walk away, he'll be less inclined to disregard everything that I just said and take it anyway.....
The idiocy only gets worse from there. I mean, seriously....How did this family manage to stay alive for over 400 days? You'd think 9 months of being pregnant would give them enough time to come up with a better game plan than a few lights, some fireworks and an oxygen tank. Seriously, guys? Also, it is made very clear from the beginning of the movie that the father is the one who watches over and protects the family, and yet, besides getting his wife and baby into the extremely well thought out basement/shelter, the father is utterly useless during the last 30 minutes of the film. Sure, he might have sacrificed himself at the end but FOR WHAT PURPOSE?! Honestly, the guy "sacrifices" himself when he easily could have found a hundred other alternatives, especially considering his over 400 days of experience in this post-apocalyptic world and the ability he's likely gained to think on his feet and adapt. And the worst part?! Rather than using his brain, the guy leaves his wife with two children and a baby to raise BY HERSELF in this hell.
Can we blame him though? If I was forced to be a part of the film, I probably would have too.....
