A highly recommended cinematic experience.

Plot Summary

Twenty years after modern civilization has been destroyed, Joel, a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie, a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey, as they both must traverse the United States and depend on each other for survival.

What Works

  • Exceptional execution of drama tropes
  • Stunning cinematography and production design that demands a large screen
  • A compelling lead performance that anchors the entire narrative

What Doesn't

  • A few minor subplots feel slightly underdeveloped
  • May feel overly familiar to long-time fans of the genre
