If it wasn't for Sandra Bullock........

Rating: 6/10 (25 December 2018)

.....it would be a pretty dreary film. Bullock lends her class to this movie, if not a little bit strained to keep it credible.
Yes, there are a whole lot of unanswered questions (what caused all this? what happened to the community at the end? how come some people survived and others didn't?). Yes, Malkovich does his standard bad-guy overacting routine. Yes the movie goes on for about 30 mins more than it needs to. Yes, some of the scenes are a bit too much to take seriously (driving to a mall / walking through a forest / rowing down a river, all blindfolded....really...??) And yes, this movie bears a strong resemblance to A Quiet Place and other similar apocalyptic movies.
I watched it with my two 20-something year old daughters, we all looked at each other at the end of the movie with that WTF look. Some of the scenes were scary, other parts gave us a bit of a chuckle, others were just flat out laughable.
I love most movies Sandra Bullock appears in. Can't help feeling that without her, it would have been a dreary night in front of the telly. I don't think she'll be putting this one on her Resume somehow......
