My wife had started watching and caught me up. Very odd plot as she described it.

The ending was kinda sudden. It made since I just expected more culmination. It sets up a sequel.

What a waste of star power, to be honest. The ending was very very abrupt, and the plot was a little loose, which was not satisfying me at all.

YMMV

OK for a movie of this genre. I did not like the ending, but as  underpants stated, it is set up for a sequel.

The only high point was Kevin Bacon playing a gun totin' conspiracy nut.

Not horror scary but it makes you think it could really happen. It shows how dependent we are on our technology. I can't imagine tvs, radios, internet/wifi all going out and electricity not far behind. Not knowing anything would drive me batty.

There were creepy scenes like the kid pulling his teeth out, the yelling hispanic woman and the roaming deer.

Also, this movie was a prepper's dream!

Really good food for thought. The scariest scenario of cutting communications, isolating people, creating chaos, and a couple d'etat weas super scary. I hate that we rely so much on Musk's satellites.

The Tesla event was brilliant!
