Moronic Children

The main thing I hate about these "survival" movies/situations is how moronic the children sometimes are. A man is smart enough to prepare for survival after society breaks down but his kids are too stupid to know what to do when things go badly? How is that?

What about the couple who climb 46 flights of stairs back up into a building with no power, food or water? How is that possibly a good idea?

I haven't wished for so many people to be raped and murdered in my life.

<why isn't anyone saving us?>

No two persons ever watch the same movie.

I was revolted watching the whole thing. This is what passes for programming for the National Geographic?

It plays like a wet dream for survivalists.

Faith can move mountains, but dynamite works better.

I like how the movie busted a lot of survivalist bubbles. It seemed like that could go wrong did. It was as if the movie was saying "Oh you survivalists think you're so smart."

Spend years building and stocking an underground bunker?

- Your kid can't give away food and resources fast enough
- There's no one to guard against your neighbors ganging up and taking your stuff.
- A pre-teen child doesn't make a good guard, basically giving your "enemy" a free gun.
- Everything cleverly stored above ground (like gas to run generators) is vulnerable to any curious person who happens to come by
- Any little scratch can turn into a life ending infection

Even if you successfully barricade yourself in, someone with you may open the door to peek out.
- Being nosy about noises going on outside.
- Basically making your hiding spot useless.
