4/10
not as good as the trashy movie poster
7 December 2004
Hmm. This started out great and has a really interesting concept. An annoying rich couple and their lawyer friend go on vacation to Puerto Rico (shot on location) and decide to go scuba diving. When they come up for air, they find it is hard to breathe, so they put the oxygen back on. When they return to the island, they can breathe again, but they discover that they are the only ones alive. Some very creepy scenes in a beautiful setting. Unfortunately, it is all downhill from here. This movie is about the dynamics between three people once they become the only humans around (I like the apocalypse part...but honestly it could have had any old "stuck on an island and never getting out" setting). More specifically, its about two men fighting over "the last woman on earth." Yawn. Some of the dialogue is really interesting for the time period, but veers back into boring traditional garbage before it gets truly subversive. And the ending is the biggest let-down of all. My Rating: 4/10
