There is a lot of stuff in this movie but it is severely lacking in depth.
It's never really clear what is going on or why anyone is doing what they are doing. Some of this is for effect but the vast majority is simply shallow writing.
It's not that we do not understand the motivation of the characters, we never understand what they are even attempting to accomplish.
For example, they go scavenging. But for what? There is no obvious plunder. Another is helping with a farm, but to what end? What is received in return? Certainly not camaraderie. There appears to no cooperation. Just a reason to insert a love interest?
It really doesn't make a lot of sense. There is so much going on and yet there is explanation for why these specific things are going on. It's simply poor writing and there is no pay off to make the journey worthwhile.
It feels like half the movie is missing and it's not simply the first or second half, it's half of every scene.
