Why's that? The movie had AWESOME production values.
People whine about the story, but if you break 'em down, a lot of the so-called "classics" had pretty basic storylines.
Avatar simply had the most finely-detailed visuals I've ever seen on film.

I haven't seen that yet, I'll have to be on the lookout for it, Vincent Price is creepy in a good scary movie way.
It's a worthy addition to the whole last man on earth subject, and for my money the best of the lot , but I will confess to being a Vincent Price fan so my bias may be showing.

Hey C
Looks like my list disappeared... Oh well I was going to amend it anyway. I negated to include TRON (1981)

Well, most drama feeds off far greater coincidences...
Select to view spoiler:
Plus, John appeared to have been working the US university circuit - that's a relatively small, and highly mobile, world. So crossing paths with his past like that isn't stretching things too far. Dramatic license applies from there.
I guess the writer felt they needed a "punchline" to end the story. Me, I could have coped if the movie hadn't presented closure like that. Part of the fun is the notion that John could never prove his story, and was skeptical himself when he met another of his kind.
I thought his "Buddhist meditation" method of surviving one thorny situation was the weakest link...

Yeah, it was like I could deal with one or the other, but not both.
