marcopalaria Sad, but the original idea goes from nothing to nowhere. Poor dialogues, no action, no answers, and in the end the only genuine experience is frustration.
Jared V Rapture happens and leaves the two most annoying people on the planet behind and they wander around for the rest of the movie wondering why they were left behind. End of story. The only thing the movie has got going for itself is the location (Iceland).
jonchius Do not expect a happy or an ending "with a point" with this movie but an ending that makes you think about the dynamics of the world we live in. This film sharply protrudes a metaphor of living in a world without others. While it does not explicitly state a message that you must have others to enjoy a world of natural beauty, it makes you reflect upon whether you can or cannot live without other people. We spend our lives now in social media taking for granted that we are enjoying our lives, but are we only doing so because of these internets? Can we enjoy things as they are without having to share it with others? Can we stand being alone? Can we stand being only with one other person? In the end, we see the protagonist driving away heartbroken and confused, but it is an open-ended ending. When faced with a scenario where we have become virtually alone, it leaves us with a choice: do we commit suicide spiritually by saying "what's the point?" or do we make an effort to enjoy things as they are without anyone's approval or agreement? Incidentally, I was in Iceland last week and they have a saying "þetta reddast", which I leave you to google.
isabobella Some viewers have been generous in the description of this movie, labeling as "existentialist", "intellectual", "original/imaginative" and even a "masterpiece"... I'd say those viewers are easily amused by pretentious mediocrity labelled as "art".Bokeh drives home 3 (and only 3) concepts successfully;1. Cinematography: High praise to the Reykjavik Tourism Board and the filmmakers for capturing the most beautiful and remote locations in Iceland...Some might say that the film tries so frantically to capture them all that it comes across as a 1/5 hour advertorial... some might say.2. Highlights that in your 20's (and mainly in this day and age) you are UNFIT to choose a MATE that reflects who you are! Jenai and Riley were so ideologically and morally different, and they had such different expectations out of life that it was never going to work out in the long term, in the real world, much less likely in a post-apocalyptic wonderland.3. REALLY drives home the concept that LOVE, on it's own, is simply not enough! People need individual space to pursue their interests and technology to support (and reflect) their lifestyles. Some people more than others...I must admit some of the dialogue was so annoying and overtly pretentious that I just had to fast forward through the endless diatribes and pseudo-intellectual "banter", mainly by Jenai, who was overtly emotional and utterly insignificant and helpless... This brings me to the biggest mistake this movie made; portray the female lead as this sanctimonious, unstable, weak, emotional, boring and empty stereotype of a vessel, which I wouldn't want to associate with MUCH LESS identify with!!! REALLY Geoffrey Orthwein and Andrew Sullivan?! Is that the best female lead you can conjure up?!!!
