I watched this. Star headliners in a plot without any direction or final reveal. IOW, bad writing. From the awkward first meeting of the black home owner and an obviously apparent black-fear character (Roberts) to the incapable husband (Hawke).

Events just happen - all unexplained. Roberts in one scene ends up hugging the black homeowner while hubby is off somewhere...?(this was needed why????) Son loses his teeth, EVs just drive by themselves and crash all on the same road and smoke and fire and explosions. All of it. And no answers at all.

Reminded me of an M. Night Shyamalan movie but his movies are usually interesting until the big reveal at the end which ruin the whole thing. This movie just sucked the whole way through.

Here’s the thing....they hooked Roberts and Hawke into it even though it’s a lousy plot so they did the next best thing. Make is scary and unimaginable requiring the viewer to take on the responsibility of providing the worst fears and possible outcomes. And then, the last episode header of “Friends.”

What’s not to like?

Yeah, that was one of my “hey, where is this going?” references.
