Watch The Apocalypse For Free

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

"The Apocalypse" is an American English-language film from 2013, so this one has its 5th anniversary next year. It is so far the most known work by writer and director Andrew Zuchero and even if his cast here are all pretty stunning, they are also still complete nobodies like their director pretty much. In 10-15 years from now we will know if any of these young fellas managed to make it big. This film here probably won't help a great deal. We have a bunch of friends early on being bored at home and then heads start randomly exploding. I am not sure what this was, I guess despite the tragic events a comedy most of all. But I found it never funny or touching or entertaining. I also think that at the very end they moved too far away from the original setting at the start of the film. I think the looks in this short are fine, not just the stunning girls but also camera-wise etc. However, plot and story feel really unpolished and the writing would have needed more work. Thumbs-down all in all. A pretty forgettable five minutes. Don't watch.
