  I saw it over the weekend too. I thought it was really well acted, especially the kid. It was very depressing if you judged it on the surface. But I thought that the whole apocalypse thing was just a context for examine the father/son relationship – what the job of a father is (ie to prepare his children for their future, educate, entertain etc). There were light moments within the bleakness and I thought they stood out because of it.
  Viggo was excellent.

  I also spent most of the film wondering where they filmed it with all those dark grey storm clouds the whole way through and all those huge fires etc, dead trees, burnt out cars. It really felt like everything was gone.
