StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

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

bernie-engl If you like to watch movies with your analytical mind turned on, alertly watching for all the subtle little visual clues in it, then you might enjoy "World's End" as much as I did. All the things they can't show due to the meager budget will be filled in by your own imagination. Ignore the clues, relax and don't think much about what you see, and what is left is a plot that just does not make much sense. This may be the reason behind some of the bad reviews. Turn on you mind and fill the voids with your imagination, based on your real world background knowledge on GMO food tumor rats, bankrupt governments, legislation against "non-certified" seeds, large corporations buying mercenary companies, you may even get the feeling this movie is prophetic. (I hope it isn't, but it feels like it). We also had a lot of fun discussing how we would have acted in certain situations shown in the movie where the protagonists clearly made a big (and often deadly) mistake. Sort of an educational movie for post apocalyptic preppers. Some things in the script really suck, though, such as the mysterious fuel they run their bio-fuel turbine with. In my opinion this and a few other blunders could be cut out, as they do more damage than good. Still, I do not regret to have bought the DVD.

Nathan Bridger This is Phillip Kim's very first screenplay. If there is any justice in the world it will be his last.I wasted 101 minutes on this turkey. Don't make the same mistake.Two-dollar budget, one-dollar characters, confused, contradictory and abysmal script and a director who couldn't direct traffic on a Sunday morning. Not an original idea in it. Either the investors didn't read the script, or they *read* the script and figured it was a great tax write-off.The movie has two, flawed, premises: The world will soon run out of oil--which proves typist Phillip Kim, (can't truthfully call him a writer), spends too much time reading comic books instead of scientific journals--and that a world-wide cancer wiped out the female population, (Frank Herbert did that far, far better in "The White Plague"). The fact that there are a number of females in the film--most of whom say and do nothing and don't really need to be there--shows that the typist couldn't stay on track with his own inept plot.Skip Downstream--better yet, *toss* it downstream--and watch the better post-apocalyptic movies this disgrace has ripped off: A Boy and his Dog. Logan's Run. Mad Max. The Postman. Even Waterworld is a far better film.Did I mention this movie is bad?

ezgoinedk Although I am not a big sci-fi fan, I went to see this movie at its screening just for the experience. I was very open-minded and didn't know what to expect. This film had enough going on – some great cinematography, quality acting and plot twists - to keep me interested. It has its own unique style/charm that makes this genre storyline refreshingly different. I've watched a great number of movies over the years and too many are too predictable. Not this one.As a general movie viewer, I rate this above average, but less than sensational. A sci-fi fan would likely rate it higher. It's definitely worth watching.

kvarsh This movie is similar to other movies currently released about the future of mankind if we continue with our wasteful ways. There were some very interesting uses of graphic art (kinda Frank Miller-ish) and multi-scene shots. In my opinion, the most interesting character is Tobias; the actor does an excellent job portraying a cut-throat S.O.B.The tag line is something like "the journey begins when civilization ends" and that about sums up the entire movie. If you sit and jot down a list of what you think would happen if the world's resources were to disappear, you would have what writer Philip Kim came up with. That being said, bravo to the director for making such a stale plot interesting enough for me to want to write a review.Bottom line: if you like sci-fi and are concerned about the end-of-days this movie is for you.
