I thought the film was beautiful in it's simplicity. Left with an open ending (i never enjoy those), the watcher of course is forced to wonder. I imagine, and the direction the last scene showed rather confirms, that his emotions returned shortly thereafter and that they made it out to live their lives together. I also like to imagine they found the other survivors at The Peninsula, already established with food and shelter, etc. Of course, with no confirmation, we'll never know. I'm sick of hearing band wagoners complaining of Kristen Stewarts lack of emotion, it only shows that they're the ones lacking. She portrays many emotions, they flit across her face, in her eyes. She brings life to an otherwise dull scene. And Hoult has been on my radar since Skins, and I'm so pleased to see him rising the ranks here in the US. They both have exceptional talent.
