"Leave The World Behind" is an entertaining one that keeps you fully immersed with its grappling thriller that is the apocalypse, while never becoming too overbearing/dull because of how it's masterfully edited. While most films want you to focus on one character, the editing quickly plays out scenes in a way where you try to figure out what each character is looking at as different scenarios are happening in one sequence which I think was such a great boiling point to keep the suspense flowing. The characters were also introduced well, each with their unique personalities that you can analyze. Julia Roberts and Mahershala Ali's dynamic is one I loved seeing on-screen. Every scene between them just felt natural.
The film is thrilling, fun, and nonsensical at times. Perhaps, the lesson that came out of "Leave The World Behind" is that nothing matters so you just ought to do something you'd want to enjoy for your last day on Earth, and that consuming pop culture is important for that matter.
