Interesting
This movie about humans leaving earth was, unique. The acting was well done and the cinematography was, as well. The storyline was a new concept and the characters kept it interesting. It's not a fast paced movie but it moved at a decent, steady rate. A little predictable, but that didn't take away from the enjoyment. Not the greatest "end of the world" type of movie, but pretty good. Worth a watch.

Tragic family drama disguised in apocalyptic genre
I spent at least three quarters of this book getting irritated by the protagonist's whiny outlook, however, I was sympathetic by the end when he faces his own demons and realisation.

It's like a drama wrapped in an end of the world scenario, so I was relieved that it avoided any of the ridiculous zombie / outbreak type of plot. It was mostly realistic, analysing how people react differently to extreme situations, apart from the fact a man with zero running skills could manage to run 450 miles in total let alone 20 miles within the first day.

And there were some great characters including old man Australian Harvey and female soldier Grimes, who blasted any stereotypes out of the water.

"Because I read this relatively late in life, it ended up more a confirmation and articulation of things I was thinking than it was totally new material. But Wilson's description of the way people end up in "reality tunnels" was so spot on for me, it's ended up the main metaphor through which I see the world, myself. My reality tunnel is reality tunnels."
