Audience Reviews

Dr_Nostromo 6/10 Jul 03, 2026
63/100

A man wakes up to find that everyone else has disappeared. This interesting, New Zealand film, follows this man's personal journey, as well as the few others he meets, making it a fairly good and enjoyable character study. It's also quite dated in the respect that we've seen so many variations on the story by now that are so much better, this is sort of bland. I can understand its cult following and some are going to love this film. I found it good, and the reason they're alone was unique, it just wasn't particularly my cup of tea. -- DrNostromo.com
