I don't agree with the user reviews that trashed this movie. Those users, I think, just don't like the genre. This is a well written, well acted, well directed, well filmed movie. Its quiet understated tone isn't going to be for everyone but it achieves what it set out to accomplish.

Okay, so the title could refer to the writer and their mind at the ending of this film, because apparently that's what they had left, and the tank just ran out. I cannot believe this film was only about an hour and a half, because it felt like so much longer. I know the "point" was heavily metaphorical for addiction / abuse in a relationship and blah blah blah but that's what ALL these low budget indies end up being about! So she's a "god" or the world ended, again I know it's a metaphor, but the film just...ends. It has a conclusion that, surprise surprise, is open-ended and left up to the audience. Because of course it was, the director has no courage to really "say" anything, so they say nothing. Like this film, which ends up being about nothing in the end. The worst part? With about 15 minutes left it could have gone in a completely different direction and the end result would've been at least moderately satisfying, but in the end we just get lame melodrama. I can pinpoint the exact moment test audiences doomed this film to the low budget streaming bin, and so can you, if you stick with this long enough. Also, this film thinks it's being new, the "comedy that's actually a serious drama underneath", but it's not at all. See many other better films that do this genre justice.

Ratings of 8, 9, and 10 for this film are only appropriate from reviewers who are from the past and have never seen a movie before. That said, a rating of 1 seems harsh, given how hard the crew from Starbucks on Third Street worked at making themselves a motion picture. Most of the film is shown as flashbacks of how adorable a couple the two leads are. It gets tedious, because they aren't a credible couple. The two leads come across as nice people who couldn't be less interested in one another. A surprise ending that the pair was brother/sister or gay or priests or androids would have been no surprise. There is no chemistry here. The plot has been done to death. The best versions explore some new aspect of the last man on earth trope. A recent European film (I can't recall the name) about a couple trapped in an empty subdivision of identical homes was a new twist on this concept. Unfortunately, this film goes the lazy route of having the couple immediately conclude they are the last people with limited evidence and effort to confirm that conclusion. It's wasn't convincing. A neighbor from the next street over knocking on the door to borrow a cup of sugar because the stores closed when the town was evacuated due to a chemical weapons disposal train crash would not have shocked. In the end, it's a long slog. Stronger personalities, chemistry, and some mystery or thrills or excitement or just something watchable happening might have saved this film from well deserved obscurity. Ironically, the male lead reads a critic's review of his acting talent early in the film. The critic was spot on. The crew at the Starbucks on Third Street gave it a go, but they need to return to their day jobs. Three stars for the effort.

There's a lot to unpack here. Unfortunately I think it doesn't speak to everyone, and I think most people didn't get it. It's unfortunate, but then again, your own circumstances and life experiences will probably determine what you get out of it. It forces you to see and think about things you may not like, and that can be unsettling. For me, many of the themes strike pretty close to home.

They seem to be a perfect fit for each other and for a while everything is romantic.. But then nothing happens except for some solitude and tons of logical holes.

This one made me stop and think in the same way Inception did. Love the acting by Ivy Meehan and Duncan Coe!

I loved the filming the best out of this movie. It changes style as the movie goes along and gets more stressful. Really cool!

When you read the story it's actually promising. I watched the last man on Earth and liked it. Anyway I decided to give a chance to this one but couldn't be able to finish it. So boring. You will lose nothing if you skip it.

Tour de force, starts out as a rom-com and turns into a dark sci-fi with ominous foreshadowing of today's isolated life, even though this was filmed 2 years ago. Meehan and Coe are 99% of the film and yet, with that hefty responsibility, give measured, but real performances. Shot in Austin and South Texas, it is a treat!
