I'm at odds with this movie because it has a handful of great setups but zero payoffs ZERO! Acting lead by Ali, Roberts, and Hawk with great accompaniment from Bacon and Harrod.
However, all performances were overshadowed by poor writing and plot. Here's what I left the movie NOT knowing the answer to... What's up with the Deer? Flamingo? What did GH actually know? Who is behind all of this? Again what's with the Deer?

Did the bug make his teeth fall out? Did the meds he got even work? among other things. And look maybe the movie was maybe to be a question mark that each person can explore the answers individually. If so it still could have been done better...much better. It's like every time they tried to explain the reasoning behind something it fell flat with a dull excuse not based on certainty It felt like one of M. Knight Shamalan's weird endings.
You know what have been a better movie...if the movie started where it ended, having them trying to navigate their way through the collapse of technology. minus the animals and the daughter talking about Friends so much. it had good acting in some of the more intimate moments. just not a great storyline. But hey I may go back and change my grade later. Watch Leave the World Behind | Netflix Official Site.
