Thing is, the bunkers can talk to each other, but they are +running low on supplies -- meds and food -- so anyone sick is "removed". + +Now, that the kind of scifi I do like, even with the low budget and just a few +scenes from the big names (Lawrence Fishburne and Bill Paxton) and not-no-great +acting from the new comers. + +Sure, the "threat" is never truly explained -- or, even being in my ballpark, +never caught my attention -- and never solved -- that part I'm sure -- but +still, it is another movie exploring the way people act upon survival +situations.
