    • Trivia
      The movie begins with title cards indicating dates and times in the future. However, the times listed incorrectly indicate it would be Standard Time as of the date provided (e.g. "August 5, 2020, 2:47 PM EST"). In actuality, it would be Daylight Saving Time in August 2020 and the times should be listed as EDT.
    • Goofs
      They show entire Earth going complete black out within seconds. But The effect of any energy surge cannot be equally distributed all over the Earth, there are different power generation plants using different technology, some use oil, some use coal, some use water, some even use solar and wind energy, so they will be effected differently. And, there are captive power generation plants also supplying electricity to a limit users, and their capacities are far more that the peak load. Plus, billions of people now have home generators and invertors/ batteries. Thus, there just cannot be a complete blackout on Earth. If the surge is not really affecting power generating plant, and is rather directly affecting electricity, then all electric devices, even mobiles and cars would also have gone inactive.

    Potential for so much more
    The concept had potential but the implementation failed miserably. It was told as a series of stories which led to a disjointed and confusing anticlimactic end. I doubt the writers had much more than a 5th grade education and certainly never had a class in writing drama. And, who read this script and thought,"Yes, that sounds good!"? Just wow! The actors were OK, the cinematography was decent, even the background music was passable. But the story just didn't have enough legs to go anywhere. It was obvious the writers had no real concept at all and so the individual stories never became cohesive. The whole thing kind of came off as an indy-art-house picture with no real substance. Don't waste your time.
