First, I have got to say this film is just awesome, if you like apocalypse-type of movies you will surely love this one. In fact, I think this is a refreshing one among a whole list of movies like 'Resident Evil' and more, franchises that might be good enough to conquer the genre, but sometimes cliché enough to bore at some point. That's the glow with movies like 'Zombie land' and 'Love and Monsters', its comedy relieves the audience and make the plot look a lot more relatable for us, the audience that doesn't know karate and will surely die on the first day of the end of the world... Joel is not your everyday badass superhero of an apocalyptic movie, and we love him for that, surely Dylan O'Brien was born to play him.
'Love and Monsters' manages to, besides attaching us to him, to feel Joel's fears and live his flaws, we get to question ourselves in a nearly philosophical odyssey, settle or don't to settle even in the end of the world...we even actually get to cry. The film has that "feeling" that much sci-fi action movies lack and only approach by killing the sidekick or anyone else, and that's really worthy, so I'm really looking forward to a sequel or a TV show. (The second option kinda rocks more though)
