I watched this BECAUSE of all the bad reviews, not despite them. I've often found that my tastes aren't in lockstep with the "blockbuster" crowd. And I was not disappointedwith my instincts on this film after reading several IMDB reviews.
Everyone has a different idea of what a movie should be. This one is NOT a typical "end of times" movie. It doesn't lay out exactly what is happening as it happens, bringing with it what I saw as a more realistic perspective of how things might be in such times.... no communications, no power, sudden chaos. We don't know any more than the characters do... just as it would be.
If you're looking for a beginning with "once upon a time" and an ending of "and they lived happily ever after", then move on.
