Ann Burden (Margot Robbie) and her dog have managed to survive the nuclear holocaust due to the topography of her land and using common sense in dealing with contamination. She meets up with John Loomis (Chiwetel Ejiofor) who has a Geiger counter and a type A protective suit on steroids. He suggests making a generator using hydro-electric power from the water falls. However, in order to do this he would have to take apart the church her father/preacher build. If you happen to look at the DVD cover or movie poster then you know Chris Pine also shows up and the description say "emotionally charged love triangle" which is a not exactly a plot spoiler, but he does come late into the film. If there was some way to watch the film having never seen the poster, or knowing he shows up, that would be the way to do it. As for me, I kept waiting for him to show up which made the film go slow with anticipation. So if you are planning a showing, hide the DVD cover.
The title comes from a kids book Ann has on the Bible. John opens the book and sees "A is for Adam." One would conclude what "Z" would be, as there is a hint and some talk that coating the world with radioactive contamination was part of the plan or at least Ann's survival. The book of Zachariah, talks about the rebuilding of Solomon's Temple as a juxtaposition to the discussing to tearing down the church. The survey of Chris Pine was correctly done as he assumed the industry standard position of Jesus on the cross.
The acting was good and then there was Chris Pine. The film moved slow. For people who want to watch an end of the world film with some minor religious discussion, the notion God will save a few people for his plan, and no zombies then this is it. Please note, there is a latency period of "puking" and general sickness when one is exposed to radioactivity. The latency period depends on the amount of exposure from a week to immediately. If you are "puking" right away after exposure, you will die shorty. No medicine can save you.
Guide: No f-bombs that I recall. No real nudity. Implied sex.
