Low budget TV movie that manages to engage because of good writing and solid acting. A solar flare knocks out all electric power, an earthquake releases something that kills at least 99% of humankind. The movie follows a few survivors who travel back to their home. It takes them a while to realise what's happened. The ending is very Hollywood, as is the psychology, with far too easy healing from the grief and shock, and implausibly minor physical effects on infrastructure. Still, worth watching as an early attempt to imagine a world-transforming catastrophe. **
