As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Yay Netflix!

Bilbo Baggins has to keep his family safe in a post-apocalyptic world.

I really enjoyed this movie far more than I thought I would. Yeah, it's a zombie movie, but it's very different from other zombie films. I'd call it a dramatic horror, like Maggie with Schwarzenegger.

My biggest complaint out of the way first: It's a bit plodding. This isn't a zombie film with tons of action. They also don't do any jump scares or anything. Also, there are a couple of stretches where they play with their rules a bit.

Other than that, it's good. Martin Freeman really carries the film on his own. He acts exactly how you think a "non-alpha" man would act with no training or instincts.

There's even some feels at the end if you were into the movie.

IMHO, Cargo proves that mistakes can be overlooked if you make a good movie.

I've been afraid to watch it, because I predicted it would have a sad ending.

It's bittersweet.
