Two hapless British geeks wake up in New York City only to find that the entire human race has vanished. But as they explore the seemingly empty world before them, Ben and Stephen soon realize they are not alone after all.
The worst thing about this movie is the terrible title. Geez, who came up with that? It sounds stupid, and would scare me off if I was wandering through a video store. This is actually a rather fun movie.
We get a nice geek quote early on: "This is like 'I Am Legend'. Maybe we'll meet Will Smith and can ask him why he made 'After Earth'." And then a bit later: "They shouldn't have monsters in a 3-star hotel. We should leave a comment on their website." And that goes on for another hour.
There will be an inevitable comparison to "Shaun of the Dead", as this is two bumbling Brits at the end of the world. And, sure enough, fans of one will be fans of the other. This is not as good, of course, but not terrible either. Definitely worth picking up.
