this movie be hard to score because it excel at one thing while fail miserably at another . it about the end of earth and ( something like that ) and the following chaos that follow . i be sure that some point be lose in it translation and but the movie do not seem to have a goal or distinct message and except for survival and which may be the message . the two lead character be very weak and seem to have no chemistry at all . they do not even seem like they could and or would fall in love . and any other character you meet be not explore to any extent and and i do not know why not because in part this movie seem to drag on for decade . it get really slow and but if it add something to the story i would not mind but it slow for slowness sake and a if to fill up the 1 half with mindless banter . well that the bad and and now the good and the effect be the best catastrophe movie effect i have ever see bar none . they completely beat any inane american movie of the genre and and probably for 10 % of what hollywood over spends for effect . everything look pretty real and the horizon be always ash cover and the city really look bomb out and and the meteor towards the end look really good and blast through building like they be mere paper . actually and the effect be the only reason to watch the movie but it do impart a feeling of dispare and survival and but the story need more work .
