Actually..... it sucked! I don't see how they survived as long as they did.

Because it is a Teaching movie, and if they died on day two or three, well......98% of the intended lessons would have been un-taught..........

Not having seen the movie - that may have been a good thing.

If it truly was a teaching movie then dad would have kick his sons *** and tossed that damm video camera. Besides only about a third of their mistakes were even addressed. Come to think of it they tended to go into great detail about the few things they did do right.

linkmissing, I have to ask, what about the movie did you think was good? and be specific.
I am serious, I really want to know and I think it should be looked at and discussed.

I liked it, it was entertaining. I like the interjections from the "experts".
I liked that it was on mainstream T.V. so others will start giving it some
real thought and PREPARE for themselves so they won't have to mooch
off us. I think that should be done more often.
The family was as ignorant and prepared as 98% of the U.S. would be.
I've been prepping for yrs. but hubby is not on board with it so
I kinda feel like I'm swimming upstream sometimes.
so I made him watch the movie with me. he.he.he
I was hoping the experts interjections would wake him up a little.

Movie was lightweight but I want my hubby on board and hoping some
of the statements will ring a bell.

Sarky, It took me years of talk to get my sister, to buy some extra food. And three more years to get her (She's 49) to touch a firearm, and then procure two. I see the value of the movie as being a wake-up call for the clueless. Not as a definitive "how to" complete training film, but a bucket of ice cold water in the face.

The biggest problem I saw with the movie was, When they did things right there was no great reward and when they did things wrong there was no great consequence.
examples
1: wife shoots bag guy (this is a good thing) he doesn't pick up bad guys gun and just lets the wife drop the gun she had. With 2 guns they would certainly have had a better chance of defending themselves and most likely could have gotten much needed supplies. Of course in that scene I would have killed the son myself for alerting the bad guys to my presense,
2: They are walking in the desert on a road in the DAYTIME (not one expert addressed the fact that to survive in a desert enviroment you move from dusk to dawn and rest up in the shade during the day.

IMO, the movie said pack for a contingency and plan on joining a gang to survive.

A gang, huh? Yo! What up, homey?
