Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Until the End of the World
Claire running from her husband when she becomes involved with bank robbers and with Sam (aka Trevor). She spends the first half of the movie running from the robbers, from her husband, and from the CIA, who is chasing Sam; Sam is trying to use his father's new technology to cure his mother's blindness. Then the "big one" drops, and the main characters spend the rest of the film isolated in a remote research lab, obsessed with Sam's father's new machine, which records dreams.
