A bit over-hyped

Rating: 6/10 (2 January 2019)

Acting was excellent especially the child actors was a shame Sarah Paulson was killed off so quickly love her in AHS the whole movie plot did lack explanation. What caused the end of the world exactly - supernatural forces? aliens? virus? What? There is no back story of the characters or bad thing we meet the.main character get a snippit of information - one min the world was fine...then suddenly it was not there was no work up to it really...literally the world ended in minutes by some unknown entity that no one seen coming. Then there's the clichÃ©s - a group of survivors gather in a house which they make safe blocking up windows etc and then they discover they need to venture out into the danger for supplies they argue over who goes and who stays, someone doesn't make it back...a couple take the vehicle and flee without telling the others...someone lets someone dodgy in and they all argue among themselves whether to trust the new person or to let them be a part of the group...point a gun at each other...overpower anyone that disagrees with the group and lock them up...a member of the group turns on them all so the majority of the group don't make it...those left must make it through all the dangers to make it to a safe compound with other survivors that suddenly after many years a voice just appears on the radio with details on how to get there, again someone doesn't make it sacrificing themselves so the others can go on. Yawn! And what's with these people who look like humans may even be human with mad coloured eyes that promote looking at the bad thing and go out their way to make survivors look, killing them in the process even though those that see whatever they see then kill themselves for some reason. Who knows what and why? How come only at the end of the movie do we find the entity can actually taunt the survivors in voices of people from the past? At least it had a happy ending for the children and Sandra I was glad everything they went through was not in vain. It's watchable and it's OK.
