Another instalment of absurd dystopian post-apocalyptic circumstances, handicapped predators and idiotic human persistence to ridiculous survival methods.
Like in similar recent cinematic experiments, no explanation is given or can be deduced as to how humanity came to succumb to a ridiculously feeble enemy. Perhaps the threat would be credible if the movie was set in a prehistoric period. However, in the nameless era of the movie, a couple of kids seem to be doing fine with the fewest and simplest of means, which, once again, seem too meagre compared with other obviously modern relics at their disposal.
The bottom line is that, whether you have an acclaimed actress such as Emily Blunt or a washed-up actor such as Nick Cage, the result cannot be better than the ridiculous premise of the entire movie.
