Something happens (it's not explained of course) that rids the Earth of all of it's breathable air. As a result all plant life and wild life die forcing people to live in shelters. In this shelter the mother is a farmer, the father is an engineer/survivalist who created this particular shelter, and the daughter is straight up annoying.
As I said the premise is decent, but their is way too much stupidity in this movie. The movie opens with a panning shot of the interior of the shelter and there is a newspaper clipping that says "Local farmer defies city. Changes law." You never know what law this was supposed to be, but it doesn't matter. You can't change laws by defying the city. That's not how it works.
There is a scene of the daughter standing in front of a mural of a black girl with a mask on holding her fist up and it says "We Can't Breath". I about shut it off there. They aren't even trying to be subtle anymore.
The grandfather dies while trying to get a Malcom X book for the girl. Yes, because even when it's the end of the world apparently we still need race politics.
They push the "stronk black wahmen" trope to new levels. The farmer mother can apparently fight off anybody she comes across. And she thinks the Earth will heal itself even though with everything being dead that would be quite impossible.
The daughter is apparently such a genius she can create an EMP out of a flashlight and copper wire (rolls eyes), but is also too dumb to know that when you are transmitting on a radio that anybody can hear trying to talk to your father you don't broadcast important information. Which is what she did, and how people found them.
I'm sad that Mila and Sam were wasted on this trash heap.
