I'm completely baffled by those who think the movie didn't have a proper ending.
I'm not quite sure what they could possibly have expected.
As it turns out (and I almost predicted it to myself two thirds of the way through) the final scene is an almost poetic conclusion that says much without speaking a word.
With digital technology absent, and microwave radiation affecting the psychology of the wild life, civilisation quickly crashes (sometimes literally) and selfishness and paranoia begins to emerge.
The world of today is only ever inches away from a possibility like this.
Even though the film has a lengthy run time, I think this might have worked even better as a mini-series. Nevertheless, it does the job it set out to do, and is definitely worth a watch.
