This is a film that raises a lot of questions and only occasionally gives you answers. For most people that might be frustrating, but I prefer that in a film. Inception, Shutter Island, Primer, 2001, Mother!, Lost Highway - they all leave you wanting more, and that's exactly what I felt at the end of this beautiful microbudget film.
I feel like originiality is lacking from the cinema these days. Everything seems to be remake, sequel or franchise, so it's refreshing to find films like this.
The acting on show here, especially from Liam Blundell (Kino Warren) and Ross Leyshon (The Philistine) is full of range and intensity. Usually the first thing that suffers on lower budget films is performances, but that's really not the case here. If anything it's what gives the bizarre events throughout such emotional weight.
It's really well shot by Andrew Toovey, the music by Sebastian Moody took my breath away, and the ideas in the script are out of this world! I feel like it could've been maybe five minutes or so shorter in a couple of places, but that's minor criticism for a film this rich and profound. The ending moved me greatly and I look forward to watching it again soon. Highly recommend!

Firstly, pay what you want release strategy is a stroke of genius. Once I finished watching the film online I closed my laptop and had to sit in silence for a good hour. This film really effected me. It's a really thought-provoking film. The end of the universe idea has been done to death but this team have managed to find a new angle, and frankly a more realistic one.
The weighty themes are tackled creatively and sympathetically. Focussing on one characters reaction to the world crumbling around him is simple but incredibly effective. The ending (perfectly handled) is what elevates the film from a great production to something altogether more profound). I can't go in to details without giving away spoilers, but needless to say, it's awe-inspiring!
The talent on show is what is most staggering about this film. Acting, Sound, Cinematography, Pacing (the perfect writing in general) matched with some spectacular direction makes this a potent, professionally handled, original (can't stress that enough) mini-masterpiece. WATCH THIS NOW!
