A fun comedy that I wasn't expecting to be this good. Refreshing to see a film on the post-apocalyptic world where everything doesn't immediately go to mayhem and last man standing type deal. They did really good at getting a balance between entertaining and heartwarming adventure given the circumstances of the world maybe ending. The scenery in this movie shows was really good showcasing the Japanese landscape, making the backdrop on their journey pleasant to see even during a global pandemic (which is kind of weird but keeps you attentive haha). The director's decision to keep the tone of the movie light-hearted was good thinking even with the more intense post-apocalyptic dramas where it's survival of the fittest and immediate chaos with trying to outlive the bad guys for the entire movie.

All in all Survival Family is a great watch that combines a family comedy with the urgency of survival, making it an entertaining and fun sit down when pandemic movies don't always ending up leading that way.
