As the holidays drew to a close and television programming returned to normal, I noticed a strange trend about the film releases of January 2010; nearly every week contains a movie set in a post-apocalyptic future. It started with the Road and ends with the release of Legion. Since December 12 2012 is almost a year away, I've taken it upon myself to determine what we should know about our post-apocalyptic future.
I'm going to review the Road, written by Cormac McCarthy, adapted by Joe Penhall, and directed by John Hillcoat.
