Typical, But Not Bad

The human's coping with an impending annihilation drama story is here yet again. So what separates this from the rest? ... It's set in Australia? Yeah, that's basically it. This small film focuses on it's few main characters and their choices on how to spend their last hours alive. Our lead leaves his obvious love to go and be with his actual girlfriend, for reasons I'm still not certain of. He is sidelined into an added quest when he saves a girl and helps her reunite with her father. The relationship between them is the one thing that works best. It's subtle, realistic, and not forced in any way. Their final scene is a bit touching. Easily the highlight of the film. It's the one redeeming factor to the lead character's questionable decision at the start. The narrative works well enough, but the plot has literally been done before in the most similar of ways. I knew what would happen from beginning to end, with one or two minor exceptions. The fact that realism is attempted, and there exists an emotional hold in at least one scene, does deserve some appreciation.
