Love and Monsters (Michael Matthews, 2020)


So, the human population of the world has been nearly totally wiped out again, this time by monsters mutated from all the animals. The protagonist is a lovelorn lad of no particular ability who sets out from his safe haven to cover 90 miles across the hazardous surface to find his pre-disaster girlfriend.
What sustains such a thin premise is its wit and lack of reliance on special effects, as well as having a likable boy-next-door lead, previously only really known for the decidedly patchy Maze Runner films. Not a waste of money, then, but also not anything that you'll feel culturally deprived for not having spent two hours on.
