User Review
Good Science Fiction
Rating:
If you're looking for a science fiction flick that has nothing to do with
little green aliens or intergalactic civil war, check out this film. A
terrific story about a man waking up to find out that everybody in the
world
is gone. Vanished! He is the only one on Earth.
A great part of the film deals with the struggle of having to be alone.
Very
original, very interesting, and very entertaining. Check it
out.
