Retroboysays...This has the potential to be the next District 9.
There's a few mildly jarring moments, but I could quite easily stick around to see what happens next.
Paybacksays...The worst thing I could come up with is their uniform looks like they're made by Adidas.

poolcleanersays...Now YOU are legend.
poolcleanersays...Both of which are retellings of Richard Matheson's I Am Legend, as are the many that came before them. I still prefer the Vincent Price version of the story, The Last Man on Earth. Though Charleton Heston was pretty good in the mutant apocalypse version called Omega Man.
It's the lone human survivor realizing he has become the villain of an emerging post-human society. The Fallout video game series and Mad Max movie series have also paid homage to this.
Aaaaand... you may hate it, but Waterworld is a special entry in this lineage, in that the anti-hero is a post-human in a human dominated world apocalypse. In that way, District 9 and State Zero are sort of in Waterworld's direct lineage -- or, rather, the joining of forces between the human anti-hero and the post-human hero.
