What remains after the world ends?... In the wake of a nuclear war, a young woman (Margot Robbie) survives on her own, fearing she may actually be the proverbial last woman on earth, until she discovers the most astonishing sight of her life: another human being. A distraught scientist (Chiwetel Ejiofor), he's nearly been driven mad by radiation exposure and his desperate search for others. A fragile, imperative strand of trust connects them. But when a stranger (Chris Pine) enters the valley, their precarious bond begins to unravel. (Roadshow Entertainment)

A polite and sweet movie with polite conflicts. An untraditional plot for a post-catastrophic movie - a beautiful girl in a cabin in the mountains who is visited first by a black, then by a white man. When I began to tell the story to a friend of mine, he thought I was describing the intro to a porn movie... For Christ’s sake. :D Very powerful in terms of acting, Margot Robbie fantastic, like a dream girl, and both gentlemen put on a good performance. It ends leaving you a lot to think about, a beautiful reflection on our times. A conflict of science and faith.

An interesting post apocalyptic relationship drama where Margot Robbie acts as if for dear life and the director makes do with a minimalist atmosphere, a few shots of wooded mountains, and a script that has a lot to offer and thankfully doesn't half-ass any of its plot premises. This approach to the viewer is not usual and is certainly worth appreciating. Pity about the slower pace and a few unnecessarily dead passages.

I like the fact that in this case, the disaster film is approached as a very dramatic romance, leading to an ending that simply can't be nice, yet the film is conceived as quite original, and there are ideas that surprise. I quite like dark romances and this particular dark romance isn't too bad.
