After Darkness
A supposed "sci-fi" drama starring the ever-handsome Tim Daly, in which the storyline revolves entirely around a dysfunctional wealthy family awaiting rescue at their opulent summer home. It had potential, but fell quite flat midway through the film. Very disappointing, IMO.
I assumed that at least some effort would be made to explore the scientific implications/logistic management of the sun going dark alongside the film's delve into the human condition. But no, such wasn't the case really.
Perhaps if I'd known that the film was essentially an All My Children/soap opera-esque family drama and that the nightmare climate crisis/ELE was merely incidental to the plot I would've calibrated my expectations accordingly.
