I get it. These gays are not the same old self-absorbed sex-fiends. They are fathers, family men, just as loving and dedicated as any straight couple. But beyond the premise, this film doesn't have that much to offer.

Despite the not so short run time for a short and the grand apocalyptic setting, the plot is extremely simple. The moment John decides to let his little daughter go, there aren't much left to keep the tension going plot wise. The rest should have been the intense and complex emotional journey of the 2 fathers, and the film tries with constant flashback cuts of their once happy carefree family life... but it fails to achieve that heart wrenching emotional climax.

Several issues: the chemistry between the two fathers is lacking. They are all dedicated fathers, but what kind of relations have they had as lovers and then a couple? The film fails to capture them as individuals and a couple, and thus reduces the emotional complexities they would have gone through at the latter part of the film.

Actings didn't help either. Especially Alex Hammond as Scott is wooden, and didn't really have any emotional depth.

I appreciate the basic premise. But if the director and screen write truly wanted to capture the life of a same sex parenthood, they needed more research and observation of the real people and families. The grand Sci-fi set up cannot make up the lack of detailed and deep understanding of real life and relationship.

I am so pleased to have watched this movie. I think this is perhaps one of the best gay themed movies I had ever watched. I think it went beyond just the gay themed. A movie everyone should at least watch once. The acting was superb and the story was great. It is a very though provoking movie and very moving. I don't think it is a stretch to say that this is definitely one of a kind movie. What I am very excited is that this movie ventured to where others never gone to before. Being a fan of both sci-fi and obsessive gay themed movies watcher, this was a gem.

The movie follows the struggle of a family when faced with possible extinction of humanity as we know it. It will tug at your heart and make you wonder what would you do in the same situation.
