This is your average "two broken people find each other" movie. Unfortunately that's ALL it is. If you like that sort of thing, fine, but I was really hoping the backdrop of the impending end of the world would be explored in a lot more detail.
Instead it might as well not be there. Remove the apocalypse and practically nothing about the movie changes. I don't need to watch ninety minutes to learn that the way most people will handle such a situation will be to find someone to fall in love with. I didn't expect a documentary on "This is the way the world ends", and I certainly didn't want an action flick; but I was hoping for some sort of unusual and interesting insights into how people and society might behave under the circumstances. But I didn't see a thing that you wouldn't get on an episode of Family Feud: "name five clichés of how people will behave when the world is about to end".
