My first memory of this book is hearing adults talk about the Lincoln Tunnel scene, while in the Lincoln Tunnel. That is where my fear of tunnels began.
I read the book in college and loved it. By this time I was a post apocalyptic junkie and the good vs evil concept was awesome.

[Station Eleven] is a literary tale of the end of civilization. Unlike most of the novels about the post apocalyptic world [Emily St. John Mandel] weaves a story built of relationships. It would compare to a futuristic [Canterbury Tales] as it tells the tales of the survivors in this one band and their journey.

[The Last Orphans] by [N.W. Harris] was a quick read in my favorite genre of post-apocalyptic novels. The way people survive always gives me hope for society. When all the adults die is sudden and horrible ways Tyler finds himself taking care of the survivors. Can he save them before it is too late.

Gripping and the pace of the movie is about right (2 more)
The bleak and gritty post-apocalyptic atmosphere
Easily-digestible
At 80 minutes, and with an abrupt ending it feels like it could have delved further (3 more)
The 'invaders' acted completely unrealistically during the 'siege'
Character inconsistencies throughout
Way too linear and simplistic
Simplistic premise, reasonably well delivered

This post apocalyptic movie although starring the always watchable Denzel divided opinions not because it was a bad film but because of its religious undertones and in my opinion apart from the great fight scenes it was quite a flat story with a below average twist, a one trick pony that I'm not in a hurry to catch again.

Yet another post apocalyptic movie on netflix and not very good when you've seen one of these type of movies on netflix they all seem similar in a bad way. Thank goodness for Lance riddick who's always good since fringe and the wire who just about saves the movie for me
