I was disappointed that she didn't raise the kids herself. That was part of what made her character in the book, raising these two kids after the disaster that brought them into the world. Part of who she was is that she hadn't had anyone but Boy and Girl for so long.

Most disaster films nowadays are made with the notion of concentrating on the story arc of the characters and don’t feel the need to explain the reasoning behind the disaster.

This film is no exception!

For a road movie it is fantastic. Lots of suspense and thrills built on trust issues and a road trip for a father and son-in-law who are trying to get to their daughter/partner, starting as two people who don’t see eye to eye and gradually becoming friends.

However, I was left wanting more from the final scenes and disappointed with the last frame.

If you’re stuck for something to watch on Netflix then give it a go but remember that nothing will be explained (and I mean nothing!!)
  
It's fair to say that we've been spoiled by the cinematic gods this year. La La Land and Moonlight started 2017 with a bang, with The Disaster Artist and Call Me By Your Name bringing the year to a close. And we still have The Last Jedi to come!

But it's Jordan Peele's timely, unsettling satire Get Out that takes Empire's top spot this year.

Based on UK release dates, here are Empire's top ten films of the year:
