No narrator, at least that I remember.

Very true to the book, no special effects (I read that they did screen out some greenery, changing it to brown in a few scenes.)

Filmed at Mt. St. Helens devastation, abandoned Penn turnpike and NJ abandonded neighborhoods.

A man's love for his son.

The movie seemed more hopeful at the end than the book for reasons I won't discuss here.

I'm still puzzled at what could happen that would kill all vegetation, all animals, fish and birds but not humans.
