    H and FIL do some emotional bonding - which to me means one of them is gonna die.

    they blindly drive onto every bridge that comes in their way without even THINKING about recon first to make sure it's not an ambush..

    Guess what?

    Ambush.

    Group of country folk, trucks, off road lights, dirt bikes - dressed in all black.

    Now their car is boxed in on the bridge

    Gunfire and stuff.

    they made it past the ambush.

    Doesn't make sense. The bad guys were heavily armed and couldnt stop them; barely fired back.


    One of them died.


    H driving and car running out of gas. Of course. He shouldnt have put water in the tank. He's he's beating the car up yelling "FUCK!"

    Abandon the car, take what you can carry, kid.

    WTF?

    He's pouring gas from the water jug all over the car and setting it on fire. Must have been a broken engine not out of gas.

    Carry the water/gas with you, dude. Barter that shit or use for another car you may find.


    He will not, I suspect.


    Yep. he left it.

    Good samaritan stops - omg, he's white. Unreal.


    Says I will take you far as I can but I need you to give me your gun. H complies.

    Mom and little girl in the back seat of the 1970s/80s Jeep Wagoneer.

    Nothing on the radio except emergency broadcast stuff.


    Seems like "it" started in LA - what is left of LA. People are being told to flee to canada - something about bad air.

    wtf? if it was a bio weapon canada wouldnt be safe anyway. Plus, wtf is canada gonna do to protect people?

    They found H's father's house - convenient. He sends them upstairs to rest in the bedrooms; he sleeps on the couch. Nobody eats or drinks and they leave the jeep out front.

    Early morning light shines into the kitchen. Driver of the Jeep (JD) approaches. He says how much he appreicates the help.

    H is going through food - 3 weeks of food there - and there's a generator and some fuel. H asks if he can take the jeep if he allows the family to keep the house.

    J gets the jeep and drives away after realizing he has only one bullet left in FILs pistol.

    H makes it to a body of water. With a burning city across the way and ash everywhere. It's like nuclear winter as he gets closer to seattle.

    He puts his shirt over his mouth to keep the ash out - luckily finds a firetruck and a fireman's mask with filters. Requisite bodies in the cars strewn about the freeway.

    Seattle looks FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKTTT UP.


    it's like Liberals have been running the city, OR some sort of nuclear war.

    Could go either way.


    He abandons the car due to clutter in the roads - rubble and overturned cars.


    He climbs a fire escape to get into a building which seems to be about gutted. its his appartment. half the building is missing so he's presented with a vista of the burning city. Carved into metal - maybe a refrigerator door -

    "Will - come find me" (and an address)

    He drives there.


    He finds her!!!!!!!!!!! She's alive and staying with a man for protection - man has a gun. Man probably loves her because he looks pissed her man is back. The protector is white.

    Now they're laying in bed and he tells her FIL is dead.

    She's sad but is proud of her dad.

    OH SHIT.

    Dude just said "I will never leave you again"

    That's worse than getting her name tattood on his body - some shit is gonna go down.

    Unsure why he isn't tired. He wakes in the middle of the night. THe other two are outside sitting around a campfire.

    WTF are they thinking? dude - its the end of the world. Noise and light discipline maybe?

    The other white dude (OWD) still looks pissed.

    They are thinking it was an earthquake - but things aren't right. He thinks everything was done on purpose. Like an attack. Seems the alien shit H saw on teh way - weird shit in the sky - doesnt make him wonder.


    "Nuke goes off on the coast triggering earthquakes. Then power grid goes down with a virus"

    Now they are getting loud because they disagree. As if that matters. Who TF cares? Protect yourselves you imbeciles.

    Omg!

    H says "I dont know what the fuck is going on!" all angry - then says to OWD "And YOU dont know what the fuck is going on either so dont pretend you do!"

    WHY the FUCK is H so upset about talking about possible causes?

    Just stupid.


    Oh - then he hands OWD his pistol when OWD says "Can I see that sig/sauer of yours?"

    OWD says "its nice" and hands it back.

    H and Wife leave OWD by the fire and go back into the house.

    Now H wants to ensure Wife doesnt believe the bullshit OWD was talking about. Again - WHO WOULD CARE?? The writers are creating conflict in an area that wouldnt be real. In real life.

    omg - sweet - I think its a sex scene coming up. they're kneeling on teh bed going at it.

    Yes! her shirt is off. YES! His is too.

    aww, he flops down on her and then scene cuts to sunrise.


    I am so lonely.

    Now OWD is apologizing for talking about what could have happened.

    H asks 'planning on leaving'?

    He wants OWD to leave. He suspects OWD was trying to steal the jeep.

    OWD says "I've been running a perimeter since we got here"

    SO the guy can patrol the area, but also does no light or noise discipline.

    both are out in the woods now. A heard of deer runs by.

    H asks OWD to come with them North, to Canada

    "She wants to stay" OWD says of H's wife.

    "I'm not the boogie man - I saved her live. We have a bond. I get a voice. We thought you were dead." says OWD.

    OWD still has the gun. He wants to shoot H. He turns suddenly swinging the pistol up

    H shoots him before OWD fires a shot.


    Now H runs back to the house - some sort of wild fire coming? Sounds like one. Its rumbling Like big tanks and stuff...

    Now they are hauling ass up a dirt road in the mountains.


    It looks like a fire ring from a nuke. Think Mt St Helens - pyroclastic flow chasing them now. They are about to be overcome by the cloud - which should be moving at nearly supersonic speed.


    Then...cloud just stops. and they keep driving.


    Roll credits.

    That is the end of the movie.

    (sigh).

    Thanks for playing. I feel slightly violated having watched that.
