1. guess not. Did you?

2. Nope.

3. Watched the last 40 minutes last night

My wife had started watching and caught me up. Very odd plot as she described it.

The ending was kinda sudden. It made since I just expected more culmination. It sets up a sequel.

4. I would like to see it, mind you, but it's on Netflix so no movie for me.

5. I was disappointed.

What a waste of star power, to be honest. The ending was very very abrupt, and the plot was a little loose, which was not satisfying me at all.

YMMV

6. I saw it last night...

OK for a movie of this genre. I did not like the ending, but as  underpants stated, it is set up for a sequel.

7. It was a big fat let down.

The only high point was Kevin Bacon playing a gun totin' conspiracy nut.

8. I liked it.

[Catherine Vincent]

9. I saw it and it was scary

Not horror scary but it makes you think it could really happen. It shows how dependent we are on our technology. I can't imagine tvs, radios, internet/wifi all going out and electricity not far behind. Not knowing anything would drive me batty.

There were creepy scenes like the kid pulling his teeth out, the yelling hispanic woman and the roaming deer.

Also, this movie was a prepper's dream!

10. I just watched it and loved it.

Really good food for thought. The scariest scenario of cutting communications, isolating people, creating chaos, and a couple d'etat weas super scary. I hate that we rely so much on Musk's satellites.

The Tesla event was brilliant!
