I think that's what the ending was, though
they got out, but there was no real sense that everything was going to be perfect for humanity now

it's not that I think there was any sense of stuff being perfect
but as I recall, and this was a while back when it came out, there was some feeling that there was meant to be some kind of hope. But there wasn't, there couldn't be, in fact I think I realised that really early on and that may be what spoiled the film for me.

oh, I just felt like there wasn't meant to be real hope
long term. I felt the whole film was about hopelessness and how humans will still have a crack at trying to survive even if there is no chance

I might try re-watching it one day with that in mind
but I doubt I'll change my mind, I'm pretty harsh on these things
