Great thriller

Rating: 8/10 (29 December 2018)

I think most of the hate comes from Sandra Bullock's love interest in the movie being an alpha black male. The movie was an amazing thriller. It sucks you in as soon as the movie begins. The characters are interesting. The dialogue is funny and witty. This is the movie the Happening was trying to be. It's the end of times and an invisible force is causing people who see it to commit mass suicide. It's never explained. It's like you're dropped into the middle of the climax with no explanation of what's going on and the rest of the movie is about adapting and surviving in a post apocalyptic world where using your eyes in daylight can kill you and you must depend on your others senses to survive in the outside world. I enjoyed this movie, held my breath to climactic ending, and smiled at the simplicity of the ending which was perfect for this movie. I loved Sandra Bullock's character Majorie whose a sacrastic mess, is in denial her water has broken, and named her children Girl and Boy. She starts off as a strong character after losing her sister to the invisible force at the beginning of the movie and becomes stronger but also protective of her children who she learns she must not only instill survival skills of a mother but also give them the maternal love of a mother too. The children were good too and everyone got their moment to shine. Yet, if you need tons of exposition, a visible villian, and a Hollywood ending, you're not going to enjoy this movie. Sometimes stuff happens without reason or explanation, and you just have to deal with it. Survival of the fittest. Funny script, great cast, nice action, and nice ending. It has great rewatchability. I enjoyed this movie.
