My review has to be taken with the grain of salt that I'm grading it partially on the fact that most "the world ended" films are just awful, and this is watchable, so bonus points for that.
I can tell the writers of this film took a good amount of time to research a realistic look at what would actually happen in a all-out nuclear exchange for regular people, and for the most part I think they got it right.
I have no doubt the government would abandon the people to save themselves. I have no doubt common citizens would kill each other for food and supplies. And I have no doubt we are not ready and would all eventually die in this scenario. So that all rings true.
My only issues are very uneven acting by some of the performers, a low budget that occasionally shows, and some inconsistencies/stupidly in some of the character behavior. That being said, the stupidity is not nearly as rampant as it usually is in this genre, so that helps make the film better overall.
Yes, everyone can plainly see Edward Furlong disintegrating on camera in this, but I suppose a man going crazy as the world ends is fitting casting for him.
