Nuclear bombs, epidemics, starvation, survivors trying to find each other. Decent set-up, decent characters, slow story. It tries too hard to be profound and existential and fails, but at least it tries. It doesn’t always make a lot of sense and it’s kind of boring, but it’s not as bad as most reviewers rate it. 

2 ½ * of 5
