This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
I really liked this movie! It is warm, comforting, wondrous, strange and uplifting. At first I found it a bit boring, but then I started to like it. The calm of the man in the main lead is very comforting. Maybe when you know the end is coming, when you know it will soon be over, there is real purpose and meaning and peace? In the midst of the total tragedy that is the ending of the world from a meteor impact, it seems like the people in the movie have come together in some way or another, or come to terms with themselves. I really like the feeling of tranquility that the movie has, in the face of doom. It is totally beautiful! The film is also funny, in a sometimes understated way, other times more explicit. The scene in the Friendsy's restaurant comes to mind. I liked the male lead more and more. The same with the female. I started caring for her, and in the end scene, everything comes together in a very touching and special moment. I am grateful for having found this gem of a movie!
I watched this film expecting humour. In fact there is almost no humour at all, except of the drollest type. The way the low-key almost matter-of-fact radio and television announcers give us snippets of information about Armageddon spiced with little gems of mundanes like "don't forget to change the clocks" hours before the end of the world really call the tone of this wonderful film. Carell and Knightly excel as never before, and Carell proves once again that being a superb comedy actor means being a superb actor. Anyone who has faced serious danger or illness knows how the whole of your past rears its ugliness and its wonder and in an instant life becomes precious and every second suddenly has meaning. All the trash falls away and at last you can see what really matters and who you really love. The vinyl sixties music is cleverly introduced with its hippy like simplicity and the beach scene takes us all there to where everything in live seemed to be so simple. This is a serious film for serous people. It is one of those monumental films which will stay with you and snippets of scenes and soundbites of songs will keep popping into your mind as you weave your way through your world filled with Trumps and Isis. It leaves you with the joy of pain, the sour truth of life.
Going into this movie I wasn't expecting much, thought it would be some raunchy comedy but wow was I wrong.It started out seeming like it would be just a basic comedy after meeting all the actors and actresses that usually are in comedy movies. But as soon as Keira Knightley becomes the focus, it really ventures out to a more meaningful yet still funny type movie that I really did enjoy a lot. Steve Carell did a great job, he really did convince me on his character and was cast perfectly for this role, but Keira Knightley WOW I'm in love (honestly what is not to love about Keira Knightley). All of her scenes were fantastic, here funny scenes actually had me laughing out loud at some points, and her more dramatic scenes really brought some tears to my eyes. I loved this movie, its funny and meaningful at the same time and I would rate it a 10 out of 10 any day. Should've gotten a higher rating than it did, at the very least in the 7's.
I would've given this movie a 5 star rating if they would've had the dog with them in the bed while the world was ending. But instead they played with each other's hair and talked about dumb shat. Dogs before thots.I would've given this movie a 5 star rating if they would've had the dog with them in the bed while the world was ending.
