I had the same vibe watching this as I did when I watched Tremors. A bunch of people forced into a situation, sticking together against a threat they can't definitively identify while having to come up with at times silly looking solutions for their problems.
The characters aren't what you would call deep or complex but at the end of the day, in how many ways can people react to self-driving monster trucks (not that kind) anyway? The plot is basic but that means you don't have to really push yourself to concentrate to follow it which is a refreshing change at times considering how deliberately (mostly unnecessarily) convoluted plots are basically a prerequisite for modern cinema.
Something hits the fan, people react, adapt and ultimately survive. As old as the history of mankind itself. That's why I'm not expecting much more from this movie and I'm not disappointed after watching it.
