    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      This movie became very famous due to its popularity when the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 Coronavirus disease a pandemic.
    • Goofs
      Dylan's character is wearing 'Fresh,' clothing: this is a design attempt to visually poke-fun at what modern-day youth would be concerned about during a Pandemic scenario.
    • Quotes

      Dylan: Do you even feel bad that your company has killed millions of people?

      S.A.M.: I am unable to have feelings toward any given subject. I am programmed to sympathize with Human's who are in distress or turmoil.

      Dylan: So you're programmed to give me a generic response if I am upset?

      S.A.M.: Human's seem to prefer hearing a sympathetic response in opposed to facts, or in many cases, silence.

    • Crazy credits
      The Supporting Character 'S.A.M.' (Broken Robot), is not credited because it was controlled electronically on set.
    • Alternate versions
      This Film's 'Hulu Version' has been the only variation.
    • Connections

    Thumbs Waaaay Down

    Junior High School Weekend Project (maybe lower, Elementary School).

    Post Apocalypse

    Generation Y or Generation Z absolutely no brains, no survival skills.

    No more Mommy and Daddy to live with to provide food, nor pay the Rent and Utilities.

    No more Internet, Smartphones to "Just Google It" or watch a youtube DIY video.

    Is there anyway to rate this negative stars?

    How do I get a refund of an hour and fifty minutes of my life back?
