Z for Zachariah

This movie is fairly bold in the way that it leaves a lot up to your imagination. Like the space between panels of a graphic novel, the audience is forced to figure out a few core plot points.

Margot Robbie gives a good performance - it's hard to not like her on screen. I did notice that the first scene she has her natural Australian accent, and then subsequently switches to a Midwest drawl.

Chiwetel Ejiofor gives a very good performance. He brings an intensity to each of his roles that increase the believability of the character. 

Chris Pine acts as the catalyst for change in this movie- his character of Caleb forces Robbie's Ann to choose one of the two men.

The climax of the movie is about 10 minutes before the ending so there is a lot of setup to that point and you are not rewarded with a clean understanding of what transpired. That is not a bad thing as discussion afterwards left you seeing  numerous possibilities which makes it smart and fun. I would recommend seeing this film. I do wish there were a few things better explained - like what happened to the world that left just 3 people in it? We know there is radiation concerns, but it's not clear what happened. You see some bombed out buildings but again - that doesn't explain radiation.

I give this movie 8 Star Destoyers out of 12
