There was absolutely no plot develop- ment at all, and almost no character development. I got the impression that the actors weren't really interested in their roles(except maybe the foreign sounding ones; hard to tell their emotions); I really didn't care if any of the kids lived or died, and the way some of them died just didn't make any sense in the context of the overall movie. There were a couple of MAJOR points to the plot that the movie just ignored (as someone already said, why did Russia invade the US to begin with; also, what happened and how did it happen the Russian snow troops were able to track them down with the trans- mitter that one of the kids supposedly swallowed??? How and when did he have the chance to see the Russians????) All in all, I'd say this movie was a total waste. Avoid it at all costs.
