A perfect post-apocalyptic drama based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning 2006 novel of the same name by American author Cormac McCarthy. We have seen many such movies in this genre like "I am legend" , "book of eli" "waterworld" but they are all fast paced ones but this movie is so unique in its own way. Just two main characters in this film Father and a son , their survival story in search of food , shelter where world is almost destroyed due to natural calamities like earth quakes and almost all trees , plants and live-hood are destroyed eradicating almost all human beings in starvation , disease and more importantly because of people turning against each other to get possession of resources for their survival. As food n water became more extinct and a rare commodity , the few left out human forms alive start cannibalism feeding on their own for their survival.
Viggo Mortensen ( Father ) and Kodi Smit ( Son ) had to survive everyday in odds of finding food , shelter and water , at same time to keep them-self away from the group of people who evolved to cannibals now. So movie travels as father n son travel towards South to reach to coast in search of safe place for their future and at same time how Viggo trains his son to survive on tough times was beautifully portrayed. This is rather a best adventure movie i would say as the duo explore them-self in different terrains for their needs. More to that this is visually good too and there are some breath taking moments too in there. That bunker scene with full of supplies is so cool as if we our-self feel like feasting along with them as watching this movie will make you starve with them. Though i was not much convinced of the ending as it was cut short without a proper closure yet this is one such good movie depicting father son relationship perfectly. A movie definitely for all audience and be sure this movie needs patience to watch as its a drama and it gradually moves through you. A must watch movie.
