I am not an Amazon Prime shill, I do not endorse them or their products and they will all burn in hell.

There's a movie there called Blackout that showed up in my feed since I'm all about end of the world and zombie movies and all that.

So I'm like, it's 2am where I am, I cannot sleep, let's watch a movie.

Why I like the movie?

The setting is the standard small town "somewhere" the description claims it's an ensemble cast, blah blah.

The "plot" is told from multiple perspectives. The basic story is the power goes out. The local sheriff tries to maintain order, and play chess via ham radio, his friend occasionally hangs out with him, society falls apart, gangs form, and shit goes down. Is it world wide? Local? No one knows.

Meanwhile some "hawt" teens in the woods come back to see society has fallen apart and hijinks ensue. They have no awareness of what happened, so that's cool.

Why do I like the movie? It shows what actually happens when shit goes down. We have seen how markets collapse when food and toilet paper rationing goes into effect. We know the reality, this movie takes it to a step further.

Now most movies gloss over this, this movie shows it off, societal breakdown, food and water disappears, how people can't handle it, how groups completely turn into animals, etc.

And it has a nice, slow, pace. Remember how Alien and Jaws had a nice slow pace? Movie today are all about CGI and pretty colors to give you 120 minuets of distraction from your life.

This movie builds, to be honest, very realistically, to tell a story.

There's no big payoff, in the end nothing is gained or lost, well, mostly lost.

The world is what it is.

If you're an incel into "end of the world enjoy the popcorn" then you might jack off to the scenes where feminism completely breaks down, women are back to being treated as rape objects, and men protect women and occasionally escape destruction.

So if you like slow paced movies, establishing characters, who disappear because they get a bullet to the body, you might enjoy it.
