Trivia

The closing shot pans out showing Wilpena Pound in the heart of the Flinders Ranges, one of Australia's most unique geographical formations. An enormous, crescent-shaped amphitheater, the Pound was formed over the course of millions of years worth of erosion, resulting in a "wall" of peaks which encircle a valley below. Wilpena Pound measures roughly 17 kilometres long.

User Reviews

28 days since I was this impressed

I'm no movie critic, but this movie had everything I wanted and more. Clever, genuinely believable and a stunning performance from Martin Freeman. If you want an intelligent movie about what might happen if the world had a pandemic without lots of unnecessary bloody gore, this is right up there.
