Movie has a good start but after everyone is lost the main character changes a lot for no reason. Back in his life he cannot even open his apartment room but after he manages to set up an electricity system. So he became very handy guy! A lot of similar stuff like this which makes no sense.
It is just a waste of time. I am sorry.

I really wonder who invested money on this movie
Nothing to Spoil
Nothing happens in this German ??. Overview: Somehow, and ridiculously not explained, everyone disappears (like totally vanished) except our central male character &, you guessed it, someone else shows up. Dumb! Sequence of events: Start w/our camera view jumping all over the place; dark disco w/flashing lights; cig. smoking; walking bicycle; driving car; aged dying grandma; more cig. smoking w/breakfast; more driving; abandoned vehicles on roads; more driving; more walking; starts farming (why w/abandoned stores?); unlikely other (with all the right physical attributes) shows up at his desolate farm; the end. If there's some underlying message about, who knows, humanity it got buried in the presentation.
I think therefore I am.
"What if" is the big question these kinds of stories should be asking? Ever since "Omega Man" (aka "I am Legend") the notion of being alone on the planet is an existential question. However, in storytelling, when it comes down to it, the person is never really alone, there's always an external threat or some other contrivance to make the story more interesting. This movie is no different.
The man's emotional state seems somewhat convincing and the female's actions are purely narcissistic. Why did she need to be there? All it tells me is there are hundreds of thousands of other people who are also "alone" on the planet. It spoiled the idea of being alone, finding yourself without others, no one to help you, physically or emotionally.
I didn't learn anything about surviving in an empty world of plenty, I saw a retreat from "society" and a failed romance. This film wanted to be one thing too many and it leaves you confused and disappointed. Maybe that's the point of this film, it describes fear and guilt.
