I rented this indie film, by Calum Grant and Joshua Atesh Litle and was quite happy with it.

EStWE  tells the story of a handful of survivor who survive a super-virus that practically eliminated humanity.  Less than 200 people live in San Francisco.  It's not really known who lives anywhere else.

Now, before anyone compares this to The Stand, I want to point what makes this good.  This film is a pseudo-documentary of the survivors.  The older folk long for the old days.  The kids have no clue what they're talking about.  Randy Quaid played an old college professor who would teach to anyone who would listen to him.

There is no great plot points or any I-can't-believe-this revelations that happen.  It's simply someone recording what's going on for (hopefully) future generations.  Supplies are in demand and the survivors have yet to figure out a judicial system for the troublemakers.

My only problem with this film is that everyone looks to clean cut.  Not a hair is out of place (much of younger people had colored streaks in their hair, in fact).  No lipstick is smudged.  Everyone's clothes looks new.  It made me think that all those who survived the plague did so by shopping at Abercrombie & Fitch.  Like I said, I did enjoy this movie, but it was still a problem that Grant and Litle shouldn't have overlooked.
