This movie's got some good points and some bad points. Firstly, I'd say the acting is pretty good, especially Zoe, considering her age. Seeing her and her father interacting always made for good scenes (especially when contrasted with her mother, who for whatever reason was written to be incredibly frustrating at times).
There's a few small nit-picks but those don't really matter. The majority of the movie was quite good, especially since most of it took place in one small bunker. So much so that the ending actually was a bit of a let down.
Having the family turn out to be infected was interesting, but calling the military "breathers" didn't really make any sense, since everyone, including the little girl, knew that the government was trying to kill them. Obviously this is only to hide the twist from the audience. I will say though, that the gas masks and yellow lights did make you wonder who or what exactly these enemies were.
The family turning into crazed monsters was silly, as was the underground society where these monsters could truly "be themselves." Nonetheless, I sure didn't expect that for an ending.
I'd recommend the movie, despite its cheesy qualities.
And seriously, how did Zoe not realize that the giant can of peaches she was opening, was completely empty?
