VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

silverearrings1 Caught this flick while channel surfing. The plot of this movie is that a video shop owner and his co-worker, who are Syfy fan boys of apocalyptic movies, try to save the earth from certain apocalyptic doom. I found this premise to both funny and original. I actually found myself rooting for these guys. Dialogue was't as bad as most and the action was steady through out the film. The special effects were OK. Most importantly, the film kept my attention. Normally movies on Syfy are so low budget and bad I can barely watch a few seconds before changing the channel. Really wish Syfy would up their game with more quality films. There would be more Syfy fans tuning in and there are quite a lot of us!

brandon-441 First you have to set what to expect, this is a SyFy channel made for TV movie with some great actors (Eureka, Heros) and a decent script. I was expecting a bad B movie, but watched it in HD with surround and was very impressed. The actors are not bad, the writing and story is fairly decent providing some comedy, action, and OK effects. As a Sci-Fi fan and even the SyFy made for TV movies I found this better than average. If you want a good ride, some silly comedy and a basic script you will get a B movie with better effects and acting. I wish the director had made it flow a little more and give some more dramatization to it, but it's what it is, straightforward end of the world movie. It's worth a watch if you're not wanting a big budget film and enjoy a Sci-Fi / Comedy.

Paul Magne Haakonsen Another 'end of the world as we know it' movie with a very predictable outcome. Sure enough, but still these movies are so campy and cheesy that they are actually fun to watch, and thumbs up to SyFy Channel for keep spewing them out.The story in "End of the World" is about, well, the end of the world. A strange outer space phenomena takes place and showers the Earth with blasts of forces of energy that are lethal to both electrical devices and living beings alike. A group of young people who have devoted their lives to the disaster movie genre, who works, owns and hangs around a local video store devoted to these types of movies, figure out a solution to save the Earth and race against time to save our beloved planet.And that is the storyline for you right there. Doesn't get more simple than that. In fact, it doesn't get any more generic and stereotypical for these SyFy Channel disaster movies either. Have you seen one of their movies, then you have essentially seen all. But still, we come back for more because they are so campy and cheesy."End of the World" wasn't particularly enjoyable or extraordinary in any way, because there was nothing new to the genre at all here. This was essentially just a re-molding of previously made movies about the very same topic. The only worth mentionable thing was the references to other SyFy movies, Sci-Fi movies and disaster movies in general that was thrown carelessly about all throughout the movie.Were there plot holes? Indeed there were. And they are so obvious and painstakingly just grabbing the movie by the ankles and weighing it down. But hey, aren't these plot holes an expected thing from this particular type of movies from SyFy Channel?As for the acting in the movie. Well, people were doing fair enough jobs, but truth be told, then they hadn't much of a script to work with, so it wasn't particularly impressive. Nor was it overly convincing, as you never for one second bought into that the entire world was in any overwhelming danger from outer space.So, is "End of the World" worth watching? Well, if you are a hardcore fan of SyFy Channel productions and the disaster movie genre in general, then yes. Otherwise, no, hardly so.

Theo Robertson One can understand the thinking behind SyFy producing this film . The meta-fictional black comedy THIS IS THE END and the action blockbuster WORLD WAR Z would be in the cinemas during the Summer and no doubt the company wanted to broadcast a comical end of the world sci-fi thriller featuring a couple of geeky DVD store workers battling an alien invasion , a sort of CLERKS meets WAR OF THE WORLDS . The unfortunate thing is that in the haste to get it produced someone - or rather everyone - forgot to develop it properly There's two vague ideas are play here . A comedy and an alien invasion movie but the whole tone feels entirely off centre . Characters discuss other movies as the invasion takes place you never get convinced that there's a post modernist aspect to any of this . Indeed you never believe the characters themselves are anything more than characters from a mediocre film . For example someone's relative gets killed but there's no emotional pay off or follow up to this scene which reminds you that you're merely watching a film . The other thing is that the alien invasion itself is composed of balls of CGI light falling from the sky . For a film about an alien threat the threat isn't very threatening and seems to jar with the rest of the film With a bit of work in developing the screenplay and with a bigger budget and some well known faces END OF THE WORLD could have been a big box office hit at the cinema , but then you realise it's all ready in effect a big box office hit called THIS IS THE END and this SyFy production seems merely created to cash in on it . I will be honest and say END OF THE WORLD isn't as bad as some SyFy productions but that is not saying much
