While not very original and quite predictable and having a very high contrast not only in post processing but also in characters, the narrative is still quite convincing and the acting is passable too. Possibly as a budget restraint, the lack of cinematic mattes and ambitious sets add to the realistic feel. The use of overexposed lights as blacked out darkness is a clever move. Overall it is a good post apocalyptic movie experience if you keep yourself from analyzing as it goes along.
