Right, well I knew that when I sat down to watch the 2018 "End of the World" movie, that I was 99% likely to be in for an hour and a half of questionable disaster movie.
And that I was...
This movie was earthshakingly bad to the very core. The storyline in the movie, while easy to follow, was just so idiotic and unrealistic that it wasn't even fun to watch the movie. A lot of the bad disaster movies out there, at least are so fundamentally bad that they are actually laughable and fun to watch in a very odd and morbid way. That was not the case with "End of the World"; it was just downright bad.
The entire series of events were just too random, and it made absolutely no sense that it was centered around the family of four - those that were the main protagonists of the movie. Plus the movie was just lacking scenes of random destruction and such to make it seem like the events were on a grander scale and not just centered upon following the four main characters.
The special effects and CGI in the movie, well... Let's just give them credit for trying to make something unique and memorable. It was memorable, sure, but not as for being something positive and outstanding. Sadly no, the special effects in the movie were questionable at best. But hey, at least they tried.
As for the acting in the movie. Well, you know what you are getting yourself into with a movie such as this. And they did deliver on that account, for better or worse. But take into consideration that the acting performers had next to nothing to work with in terms of a proper script, dialogue or special effects. And that was painstakingly visible on the screen.
If you enjoy natural disaster movies, like I do, then give "End of the World" a wide berth, because it is just not worth it. There are far better disaster movies available out there on the market, despite them being few and far in between.
