It aligns policy makers and a major car company with an outfit prepared to build hundreds of thousands of electric charging stations across the country.

The film purports to be a record of what happens to a group of average twenty-somethings on the night a massive creature attacks New York City. It features shrieking, running, cleavage, the severed head of the Statue of Liberty (a nod to two postapocalyptic classics at once, Planet of the Apes and Escape from New York) and a giant monster (the number of horns wasn't available at press time) shouldering...
