Anyone watched this yet? I'm downloading it now for viewing at my leisure. It doesn't come across as a feelgood movie.
I experience pleasure and pains, and pursue goals in service of them, so I cannot reasonably deny the right of other sentient agents to do the same - Steven Pinker

I think so, MMM.
The film has one central idea, which is constantly repeated. It's the ultimate 'doom' movie, where only a few humans survive. Poses more questions than answers.
Fairly convincingly acted with an impressive list of participants at the end, far more than appear in the film.
Totally and completely USA-centric/biased, unfortunately. All about death and guns.

Far too American-centric for my taste. I only got through the first ten minutes. It's all about how "end of the world" is seen through the prism of the American way of life collapsing. Well boo f***ing hoo. There are places all over the world right now where collapse is happening. But, the Yanks only seem to notice if they think that collapse is happening to them.
Maybe it improves further into the movie, but I lost interest.

It's more interesting from the angle that these things are made in quantity.
