7/10
Why does no one get the ending?

Warning: Spoilers
I won't repeat the obvious plot frustrations mentioned by others; I agree with most of them ( e.g. why didn't they use his motor bike to run around the city) but in reading the other reviews, I'm amazed at how many people didn't get the ending. This is a story about a life changing, planet-wide event. The fact that it's planet-wide is inferred from the ending. The genetic mutation these children had that eliminated their immune systems, forcing them to live in bubbles made them the only survivors of the fog. You spend the movie thinking the fog kills people because they breathe it into their lungs like a poison when, in fact, it actually attacks people who have normal, functioning immune systems. Now, the bubble children can run free in this new world and the dad who has a normal immune system has to live in the bubble to survive. It's a movie about the evolution of our species. And a pretty darn good one too, though I had to dock a few stars for those silly plot gaffs. As for where the gas came from? Underground, from nature. You don't need to know more than that as it isn't relevant to the story.
