7/10
more plot holes than you can drive a car through

Warning: Spoilers
I hate movies who don't bother to spend $500 on a technical adviser. It totally spoils movies for me.

They show a "goof" where the toilet/latrine moves miraculously into the store room but miss out on so many others:

1) All the lights running on batteries would last a couple of hours at best 2) where does their air come from? all those people exhaling, smoking etc the air would be so polluted they'd suffocate in no time 3) Throwing a flare down into the septic system would cause a massive explosion due to the ignition of methane gas that builds up. 4) Why would the Chinese nuke NYC then immediately travel there to look for survivors? 5) If the building DID collapse (which it would after a nuclear explosion) it would take weeks of excavation with heavy equipment for anyone to reach them yet when the one guy leaves, it's totally clear 6) NYC is on the opposite side of the world from China. If they wanted american children, they'd go to LA or the west coast first, it's so much closer. 7) There is a scene where Mickey is trying to start a generator. At least they have a hose running from the exhaust outside somewhere, but running an ICE would consume all their oxygen in an hour. 8) why is everyone sleeping on chairs etc when they specifically say Mickey has so many mattresses?

I do hate it when they throw out common sense for the sake of a good story.
