This has an interesting premise and could have been a good movie. Instead, the writers decided to make it an uptight, hipster, yuppie, thirty-something comedy-drama, complete with snooty attitudes, multiple annoying subplots and a man bun. I just couldn't get invested in their predictable, soap opera turmoil. The end of the world scenario takes up about ten minutes of time. The story line and attempts at cuteness are trite and pretentious. It's more like an uncomfortable high school reunion than an apocalypse. When it finally tries to get interesting and actually incorporate armageddon into the story, it's too little too late and just dumb. At least they have weed.
Plot summary

Beware! This is not an apocalypse movie.
surprisingly adequate
If you had told me I was going to watch a movie about the end of the world that didn't focus on the downfall of society but instead focused on the drama within the lives of 8 friends I would have said no way. Yet somehow this movie was very enjoyable and kept me entertained for 100 minutes.
The acting was good.. the story was above average and the plight of these friends had a few twists and turns.
6.4
I WANT TO GET YOU STONED AND FEED YOU PANCAKES
A "Goodbye World" virus infects all cell phones and the power grid. Some trucks blow up so all vehicles stop delivering food. This is like a a bad ice storm without the ice and sudden anarchy with riots. A group of people gather to a self sufficient community in northern California.with the expected neighbor problems. The group went to college together...sort of.
Two people in the group are hackers...wink, wink, nudge, nudge. The movie centers on personality conflicts plus that end of the world thing.
The drama conflict got boring. The film did make good use of character build up and flaws, but it really needed direction instead of giving us a daily soap opera.
