I don't know what 'they' (who say it wasn't good) were expecting to see, but as far as an apocalyptic movie goes, it was bleak in a frighteningly realistic way. It wasn't a roller-coaster ride of thrills and chills, or a shoot-em-up action movie, or some sort of over-the-top futuristic melodrama, but it was very well written, very well-acted, and ... well, good. In that way. So good that I can't imagine buying it on DVD and watching it over and over. That might be a different kind of 'good' than people would hope for, but it is certainly successful at what it tries to do.
