I know there was already a thread on the movie, but I have a hard time understanding the uber crash scene. If the internet, and satellites were down, then how did the cars remotely start, and what satellite was the GPS using to drive them to the various crash locations? Am I missing something?

sorry meant Tesla, not uber. had food delivery on my mind

Maybe GPS wasn't down, just commandeered?
Yes, that's why the planes were crashing at the same location, they said the same thing for ships and we saw one, but they said there were others. Everything was heading to one location. [I'm not that bright, so I watched a couple "explanation" vids on youtube after... the subliminal messages on racism went right over my head during the movie, especially the "racist" products in pantry at the end...]

I thought they were hacked to block all important roads/bridges.

Wife and I watched it...it was slow, had several not so discreet woke racial undertones but I found it interesting as I am sure if the shit hit the fan this what it would look like in an insulated area, more congested area would be brutal in the initial days. The show insinuated EMP's being detonated, but if that happened there would be no electricity and that new Jeep would not be running afterword's.

I'm just a dumb carpenter, but why would the deer and bird "migration" be affected by an EMP?

I think there was truth laid out in the show by Obamas influence, any current ex president would have been briefed on current threat possibilities. My take away is no one is totally in control and there is no plan for most of us if shit goes sideways.

I thought the same thing thing. No GPS sats how does it self drive.

Just a movie not reality. If it ever becomes reality we will have NO CONTROL over it so just go live life and enjoy our families.

Maybe it's just me but I would rather die than live in some dystopian book of Eli world eating cats and searching for water all day.

Was it No Satellites or "hacked" Satellites sending out the wrong coordinates, hence the reason all of the planes were crashing in the same location?

What was up with the ending? Seem like all Netflix movies end without a ending

Who knows ? It made for good entertainment and my wife said " see that's why it scares me that we have a Tesla " 😂

I thought it was strange that Tesla would allow that? I was thinking it was a dig at Elon with the blatant and visible tesla signage.

Former president made a civil war movie and it’s the Teslas that caught your attention?
lol you mean a former president that essentially gave his thoughts on the movie adaptation of a book that had already been written and slapped the name producer on it because he owns the production company?

It's the second movie i've seen that has miserably failed to make a large ship running aground seem exciting.........

Here's the first:

Ya think?

With Obama being a producer no way would they be using Chevy (Obama motors) Bolt/Cruise.

Gave his thoughts? Yeah, he didn’t write or direct anything…frankly he has never had an original thought in or out of office…but there his name is. Intentionally.

Obama started the downfall of this country, this is his vision how he finishes what he started.

As much as I dislike Obama, this movie was based on a book that he didn't write, the movie was mostly finished when they asked him to review it and critic it because he had read the book and liked it...the actual director has said he kept the movie super close to the book except for the ending, which he left open for a possible sequel, which apparently the book ending tied everything up...

I get that Obama didn't write the book or the movie, but he liked it because it aligns with his vision of the destruction of this country and his hand in it.
