The acting was good. The movie was well made. But the characters didn't make sense. The plot was unrealistic. I realize movies don't have to be realistic, but this type of movie should be. What type of movie was it? A bad one. The type that keeps showing promise, only to let down.
At some point, you tell the children that the world is ending. I would tell them immediately, but maybe you can justify not telling them because they are innocent. When smoke is coming up from the town, you are forced to tell them--unless the only child that notices is the youngest. When the stranger who smiles at you when you point a gun at him shows up, then for the love of God, you tell them.
At some point, the audience should maybe start liking a character. Instead, I found myself rooting for the asteroid. But even the asteroid let me down. I've seen more exciting asteroid apocalypse on public television.
And by the way, when there are basically no consequences for your actions (one of the cool things about the end of the world), your guarding a bunch of helpless children from a known psycho, and a very suspicious stranger shows up when you are out in the middle of no where, you take him away from the house and you shoot him and then you shoot him again.
And here's a memo to Spain, the 1900's called: they want their rock salt back.
