Full disclosure: I actually did watch it last night. I understand that you liked it, but it just wasn't for me. I completely disagreed with it's assumptions and conclusions, but I suppose that's in my nature. I could see how someone like yourself, all pumped up for the apocalypse and whatnot, might really identify with those same ideas with which I disagreed.
I felt that most of the characters were typecast and couldn't help but be annoyed by how everything about the movie was gratuitous: from the violence, to the rape, to the flexing of abdominal muscles. I understand that the ending was supposed to be super depressing or whatever, but I just found it to be farcical. It's been done before, countless times, and far more effectively.
I award your favorite movie 1.5/5 stars.
