Rotten Tomatoes Reviewer Score – (None Available Yet)

The world has suffered an apocalypse of monster proportions. No literally, the world is overrun with monsters. It’s been seven years, and Joel Dawson, played by Dylan O’Brien, lives in an underground city, trying to find meaning. When he reconnects over the radio systems with his high school girlfriend in another shelter, played by Jessica Henwick, he is willing to ricks leaving his underground safety to trek the 80-mile journey through monster-filled landscapes.

What an appropriately named move. Man, and I thought the guy who walked a thousand miles was intense. There are easier ways to get laid, but if you are looking for a romantic action comedy film, then this one seems to be setting you up for success. I will warn that the concept is still pretty corny, so take it on face value, and just enjoy the ride!
