THE DOG STARS
The film
In a post-apocalyptic world, a virus wipes out humanity. Survivors face roaming scavengers called Reapers. Protagonist Hig, a pilot, survived the flu but lost his wife.
Seems to be getting mostly negative reviews, but I genuinely had a good time. It’s adapted from a novel and it kinda feels like an end of the world hangout movie for the most part, but with some action set pieces that are apparently not in the book. Definitely a dad movie, and that’s a compliment.
