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)

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.

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.

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.
