First, the enemy or cause of these events are never defined - only alluded to. Getting bogged down with the minutae of details about the cause of events would have detracted from the scope and focus of the film.

Second, there’s nothing supernatural or otherworldly about the horrific events unfolding. If you watch a movie like this, you’re likely to have more than a passing interest in world events - including doomsday scenarios based on things that can really happen.

I was gratified to see that disinformation and misinformation are held up as real possibilities. Who knows what the next year holds in that regard.
