Review – Where Have All the People Gone?

So this is like “where have all the flowers gone?” only with people instead of flowers. Or flowers instead of people, depending on how you look at it. A mystery calamity wipes out the majority of the human race, leaving isolated groups alive. Unfortunately, the only logic any of the catastrophe follows is the dictates of the plot. For example, family groups survive whether or not they were out in the open when disaster struck. They also survive whether or not they’re genetically related, so it can’t be some kind of freak biological attack. Animals survive, but all the dogs go crazy. Furthermore … but now this review is doing the same thing the movie itself does: become so obsessed with spelling out the parameters of the problem that there isn’t much room for anything else. Mildly amusing
