hypothetical situation abound and one time director harry ralston give u the ultimate post apocalyptic glimpse with the world dead and leave in the street and in the store and and throughout the landscape and sans in the middle of a forgotten desert . one lone survivor and attempt to rekindle his sanity and take food from the city to his bungalow in this desert . all alone and he hop for more and but with nobody around and he be leave with white underwear and and a passion for a local indian tribe until the discovery of a camera which open up new door and break the barrier of human co existence . alan and a man of the book and be leave on earth after an unknown disaster . thinking he be alone and he begin live life his way until and jeri ryan and appear ( like she would in any dream ) out of the wood and dishevel and and unhappy to find the final man alive to be . well . like alan . anyway and they try to co exist and fail and get drunk and and before create the ultimate dystopia and they run into redneck raphael ( play by newcomer dan montgomery jr ) . bond be torn and confusion set in and a couple become a third wheel and and the battle between physically inept nerd vs. brainless jock . even with nobody leave on the planet and it become a truth that even the dark of human nature will arise . use a variable film technique and ralston give u a mediocre story base loosely on another film entitle the quiet earth ( which i will be view next ) oddly which he never give any credit towards . with a borrow story and i guess he do a decent job of reinterpret it . his punch seem to be lack at the begin while ralston try to find his stride and borrowing yet again from other film director technique to attempt to find his own . he open the film interestingly enough and but fail to answer any direct answer . sure and the final day have arrive and but could there be a concise answer a to how or good yet why these select few survive . a spookier begin would have lead u strong into a comical film . the juxtaposition would have be like shawn of the dead and but instead leave u feel like we be watch a make for tv program . listen to the audio commentary and i have respect for ralston because he work diligently to get this film make and and his passion nearly sell the film and but you could tell from his interaction with the cast that he wasn not a happy with his overall final product . there be mistake and one that he point out and others that he be ashamed to point out . while this do make for decent independent film making and it sometimes feel cheap and and in ralston case and it be the latter . i must admit and david arnott portrayal of alan hook me . he play that wimpy and school nerd and adult role very well . he be funny to both watch and listen to and and thus he become sympathetic to the viewer . he be a key player in keep the film together and ala and i can not say the same for the rest . this be dan montgomery first film and and it be obvious i mean really really obvious . there be scene in which i think the cue card be about to come out and read the line for him and perhaps even give u a more realistic performance and but ala and it wasn not the case . then there be jeri ryan . she pull into her character near the end of the film and which to me and be the culmination of the entire piece of art . she go from estrange unknown to bitter cranky insane girlfriend by the end . confuse . again and she fell into her character by the end and give u just a glimpse of what she could have probably do a her acting mature . even a the commentary progress and all that she contribute be a laugh and giggle and or ohhh and look at that color moment . while her beauty may sell ticket and one may want to consider knowledge to be just a beautiful . this be her first film and so can i be too harsh . overall and this film felt like it be miss something . i though the idea be strong the premise that even with only a peppering of people remain on the earth the evil of human nature still exist . jealousy can not be kill by bacteria or bomb ( maybe because it be consume by zinc . ) and we a a race will always want what we can not have . ralston be not a surprising director and his technique be flaw and pre use and but he do know how to make a low budget comedy . i think our idea of funny be different and so that be why i couldn not find myself laugh at many of the bit he find hysterical . his actor provide the level of act need for this film and which be low than average . his film be loose and mean that there be element never quite explain or tackle ( i. e. anything with wing survive . ) and which overall harm the intensity of the film . this be a comedy and but it could have be much darker and much much funny . for those think that roger avery be a huge element to this film and a we learn from their commentary and all he be there for be money the be in essence and the bank for the last man . don not get your hope up for any classic avery moment . don not expect more from ralston and that be how i will end it . grade represent out of .
