How It Ends on Netflix.
That sounded interesting.
It was ok but I wouldn't spend a dime to go see this at the theater.
Frankly I'm getting tired of the steady diet of apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic movies/tv shows.
They come and go in cycles like everything from Hollywood. Most suck.
Revolution was an interesting concept. But the science behind it was so horribly unbelievable.
Nanites suppressing EMF? How do the maintain their own power? How do they communicate with the satellites and each other? Just WTF.Then the whole magic pendant that suppresses them locally. When it turns off to check in generator that has not run in years can suddenly run on? WTF?
Most apocalyptic movies deal with the most prevalent fears at the time. This can be seen in Zombie movies for example. What causes people to become Zombies has shifted over time. When I was growing up during the cold war it was always radiation, i.e. a fear of Nuclear war. Then it shifted to biological causes, i.e. fear of a bioweapon in the hands of a terrorist. Read a great paper by two grad students, one was studying psychology and one was a film student who highlighted this trend, this was years ago. Applicable to all disaster/end of the world movies? Probably not but still it was pretty easy to see the trend they highlighted.

None of that matters. What matters is that the stories suck.
I don't care how the zombie was made as long as it is consistent and the cause does not suck so bad as to break my suspension of disbelief.

I didn't say that what I stated did matter to the quality of the movie or how much I liked it as a movie or how much I would want to watch it. I was just merely pointing out an interesting study on disaster/apocalyptic movies and society in general.
