Emotional rollercoaster
This is the first review I’ve ever written, so please bear with me.To begin with, I didn’t have high expectations for this movie. I mainly started watching it just to have some background noise while doing other things, although the cast did look pretty good. The movie also started off rather slowly, following an ordinary gamer who suddenly finds himself in the middle of an apocalypse.
What I really liked was how the main character pulled himself together for the sake of his family. I also appreciated how the film showed his regrets about their relationship and gave emotional weight to his actions. I do not want to go too deeply into the story itself, but rather explain why I ended up giving this movie such a high rating.
I honestly felt like this was one of the most realistic apocalyptic films I have watched when it comes to human emotions. The movie constantly balanced hope and despair. Just when everything felt doomed, hope would appear again, only to disappear and return later. That emotional cycle continued throughout the entire story and kept things engaging.
Another thing I liked was how unpredictable it felt. I genuinely could not tell whether the main character was going to survive or not, which made the tension feel real. Even with the slow start, the movie hooked me surprisingly fast.
Also, props to the movie for not unnecessarily killing off every main character just for shock value.
