It was so awful. Basically a 2 hour trailer to set up the TV show. I bought tickets mainly because I was interested in the sweepstakes, and the trailer looked like something right up my alley (I love anything post apocalypse) but what a waste of 2 hours.

The setup didn't make any sense (two random dudes in a fishing boat can set off a nuke inside of random barrels? Then Russia takes out our entire electric grid?)

The only conflict was: oh our food might run out in months, what will we ever do? And a swat team that randomly showed up because of a corrupt government official that needs his taxes! (Who, after all brief shootout, decides to just leave?)

I actually do like the message that them letting in the """refugees""" in (basically just their neighbors outside their gate) was ultimately beneficial to them, but that's going to piss their target off so much that actually might be kinda funny.

Then it wraps up with basically a trailer for a show that is streaming now and a QR code to "pay it forward" (buy more tickets for other people)
