I reckon the sat nav bit isn’t too daft. Getting right to the front door though….

Depends on the satnav being used. There is one called what3words, which uses a system where the entire world is divided up into 3x3metre squares, each square allotted three unique words to identify it, so it’s possible to find a square that’s pretty much right in front of your door, and use the three words to get there with voice guidance.

The ending always feels unfinished in these Netflix films so they can leave it open up a season or two on the back of it.

I don't know what the breakdown is at Netflix on commissioned films vs bought in studio films that no-one else wanted cause they were shite.

I suspect the later will be the most common.

They have Robot-Jox AND Arena; two "gems" I last saw on the shelves of World of Video in 1991.

They have some good movies (and a lot of garbage as well) available where they have bought the rights to stream them, I was mainly refering to the Netflix branded ones though.

Robot-Jox AND Arena

Remember them!

As for this movie. Typically Netflix. Meaning just about ok to just above ok.

No spoilers please.

Probably advisable not to read a topic discussing a movie if you don't want to know what happens in that movie.

Personally, I thought it was mediocre. Mildly entertaining at times, interesting concept, and the apocalyptic angle is always a winner. The actual execution left me a bit bored and puzzled.

SPOILERS (for those concerned, who are in here living on the edge)
-
It resonated the potential greatness and then sudden downfall of Jeepers Creepers.
The film really didn't need monsters.
IMO
-
END SPOILER

6/10.

Way better effort than 'How It Ends' (also on Netflix). That really is terrible.

How it ends was a 1/10. Birdbox 5/10. Not worth the hype It's getting at all. If Sandra bullock wasn't in it, you would have found it on DVD form in Poundland.
