Seven years after the Monsterpocalypse, Joel Dawson (Dylan O’Brien), along with the rest of humanity, has been living underground ever since giant creatures took control of the land. After reconnecting over radio with his high school girlfriend Aimee (Jessica Henwick), who is now 80 miles away at a coastal colony, Joel begins to fall for her again. As Joel realizes that there’s nothing left for him underground, he decides against all logic to venture out to Aimee, despite all the dangerous monsters that stand in his way. The fun-filled and action-packed adventure also stars Michael Rooker and Ariana Greenblatt.

    • Trivia
      Dogs that portrayed 'Boy' were two Australian kelpies called Hero and Dodge.
    • Goofs
      Joel seemingly never retrieves his arrows either from target practice with Minnow or the fight with the centipede to save Boy yet always has a full quiver. Minnow would never have let Joel walk off leaving them stuck in the cactus and the tree.
    • Quotes

      Joel: I'm alive because of the generosity of a few strangers and the kindness of a great dog. My colony and I are headed to the mountains. There's supposed to be less monsters there. And don't get me wrong. The surface is a dangerous place. But I don't think hiding underground is the answer anymore. There is a great big, beautiful, inspiring world out there. And I know you think it might be impossible, but it's not. If I can survive out here, anybody can. It's like a good friend once told me. Good instincts are earned by making mistakes. If you're lucky enough to survive a few mistakes, you're gonna do all right out here. In this recording, you'll find everything I know about our new world. Most of this I had to learn the hard way. Hopefully, it'll make your way a little easier. So crank open that hatch. Okay, come on. Breathe some fresh air. Go. Live your life. It won't be easy, but it'll be worth it. I traveled 85 miles to find what I had been missing below ground for seven years was right above my head this whole time. And it's incredible. Oh, and one last thing. Don't settle. You don't have to. Not even at the end of the world. Signing off, Joel Dawson.

    I'd love a sequel.
    It's a lot like zombieland which is probebly one of my favourite films. The main character is not will smith or the rock, it's a skinny nobody. Dylan Obrien is amazing. The film is funny and the action is great. The monsters are also really cool. The dog is a badass. I'd love a sequel. more characters more worldbuilding stuff like that.
