Notes:

·         Identifies social issues.

·         It represents modern day and how humans would react to a mass catastrophe like the one in the movie.

·         Representations of modern political standpoints.

·         Has a quite a bit of comic relief.

·         Relatable in many parts to different people – for example the fear and mass panic could be relatable to some people whereas the political stances could be more relatable to others.

·         Very relevant to modern day in terms of COVID-19.

·         It was depressing yet very accurate near the end as to what the world would be doing in times of impending doom.
