I watched it and didn't know the OBummers produced it until later.
I thought overall it was a mediocre movie.
I agree with the theme that it is one way things could go down; hackers cut power, communications out, nobody knows for sure what's going on.
I liked it when the husband said something like "without the Internet and my phone I am a useless man". Yep. Too many will realize too late they are like that.

It had some wokeness to it, the black daughter being all racist against Julia Roberts and stuff, and I think a few comments about us hurting the planet, blah blah.

I guess kudos to Julia Roberts for going without makeup and maybe no plastic surgery, but she looks really old.

All the above is old news to many of us. In 1963, there was a document entered into the Congressional Record as to how our enemies (Nikita Kruschev) will destroy America. Here are some of the more obvious ones.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces.
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.

They pushed. We blinked. Game over.

The commies and democrats have succeeded in just about all of that.
