Armageddon Tales

I wish people would spend the time and put a little effort into actually explaining the story line of a film properly but, I can't see that happening with the deterioration of common sense so rampant in the world today! 😠 The film is an Apocalyptic one but, its not about 3 groups of people making an alliance in order to cross an apocalyptic landscape filled with danger. Its a film of 3 short stories of individual pairs in their own stories yet all within the same pandemic timeline. Its also Sci-Fi in plot description only (there are no space ships such as that are on the ad posters) and their are absolutely no Zombies whatsoever.

The first story began well and continued to grow and had a little suspense and tension to it but, it flat-lined a little just before its conclusion;even though the main character of it was very good/convincing. The second story never really got going at all and had it done so, it would have needed an entire film of its own to tell the tale properly. The third tale wasn't worth its inclusion - IMHO - as its script was extremely poor and two of the characters I was just hoping would shoot each other and end it...before I did! 😁 However having said my piece, I found them just making the grade of interesting enough to watch (but only ever once) and only if you have absolutely nothing else.

Three short dystopian films. They're okay; but nothing great. If you like dystopia, then you'll like these. Much drama, few gimmicks. Seen on Tubi, the free streaming site; which has indies, foreigns, older studio films; and now, live TV.

This "Thing" is absolutely Crap...Bad,Bad,Bad-EVERYTHING,I wasted 1.5 Hrs of my life...Do yourself a Favour,Avoid it like the Plague !!!!

I will echo the excellent review by TopDawg: Armageddon Tales is a collection of 4 short films of very uneven quality, all centered around the concept of Post-Apocalyptic survival.

The first major issue is that the 4 films are not even set in the same universe. In one a mysterious entity stalks survivors in a dried wasteland, in another a plague is turning people into zombies. Guns in one, lasers in the other.

Film 1 - by far the longest of the four - is very well made, reminiscent of the original Stalker. Well acted, well written, well directed.

Film 2, 3 and 4 are much less compelling. I won't bother going into details, but if you have a chance to watch this film, once you realize Film 1 is over, feel free to turn it off. Bad acting, amateurish production, the sort of short film you find on youtube these days.

I wouldn't recommend this film unless you are a filmmaker, in which case Film 1 is very interesting and you should take some time to watch it. If you are just looking for entertainment, then Armageddon Tales is not for you.

My vote: an uneven 5/10

I'm only giving this 5 out of 10 because of part 1. it was a good short film on it's own. the other two parts were just nonsense.

i was upset when part 1 came to a sudden end, could have done a lot more and it would probably have made it into a good 6-7/10 film.
