With each revelation, the absurdism increases, simultaneously amplifying the intrigue and interest in the movie. The dialogue and chemistry between the protagonists ensure that the viewers catch on with the absurd weirdness. But, in their efforts to survive and outgrow the dystopian reality, will their makeshift bio-dome win over the one nature has put in place?īoth Duplass and Eslyn have structured the screenplay well, unraveling themes shell-by-shell. This helps both men find some semblance in their everyday life. While the darkness lurks outside, the two friends have maintained a water filtration system and tend to the little plant life and a fish pool within.

The last two men on Earth, Billy (Duplass) and Ray (Sterling K.Brown), childhood friends, now live in a bio-dome, as the rest of human life has been eradicated. The story begins some years after an event destroyed the planet. And these are half of the subtexts you might end up noticing. It challenges the genre’s stereotypical tropes and common elements and takes an absurdist dig into the ideas of evolutionary change, survivability, and adaption. Co-written by Eslyn and star Mark Duplass, this post-apocalypse comedy is an unconventional, weird, and crazy rendition of the subject. That’s not director Mel Eslyn’s Biosphere. Then a hero must rise against all odds to restore order.

A totalitarian government takes control, and civilization is thrown into an abyss. When the world undergoes an apocalyptic event, a dystopian society emerges.
