Never even heard of this movie?!?


How the hell did a movie only four years old, with a 55 mil budget and bill murray in it get lost on me?

I have never once heard of this movie. I don't remember it in theatres, a poster, a trailer, ads in internet browsers, NOTHING!

When i was looking for stuff to watch i saw this movie and saw that bill murray was in it and the concept looked fun so i watched it. I couldnt believe that such an extensive movie wouldnt have had any advertising.

It kind of makes sense after you see it because the movie is just a mess. It's almost like whoever made it, knew they messed it up and it would flop so they released it as cheaply as possible. I may have seen this at galaxy just because i always like post-apocalyptic movies.

I'm just surprised that they didnt at least put ads in internet browsers as its cost is almost nothing compared to other venues.

Anyone else have the same feeling where it was like this movie came out of no where? Even the name is completely foreign to me, it's not even kind of familiar. It wouldnt have been a huge loss had i never seen it.

Their loss. I would have watched it at galaxy had i known about it. I would have felt cheated but they would have made money off of me lol.

I never heard of it either, but if I look up Bill Murray, I'll notice titles I've never heard of. I mean so what? I kept seeing this DVD at the library and skipping over it and finding it and skipping over it.

Finally, I discovered Saoirse Ronan last month and have been kind of going through her movies and when I saw she was in this film, well, boom, here we are.
