Worldbreaker

If I didn't know Brad Anderson directed Session 9 and The Machinist, I'd have dismissed Worldbreaker as another forgettable apocalypse movie. But he chooses to film silence between two people on an almost-empty island rather than crowded battle sequences. Luke Evans's father is a warrior who teaches through glances, not words—weary but unbroken. Billie Boullet's Willa is a soul trapped between childhood and soldiery. Yes, the VFX strain against the budget. Yes, Milla Jovovich isn't on screen nearly as much as the poster suggests. But those moments when father and daughter sit facing the vast sea, telling each other legends of 'Kodiak'... they make you forgive every flaw. This isn't a revolution. It's just a story about two people left after the end of the world, holding onto each other. And sometimes, that's enough.
