Armageddon Tales

Agree with the majority of the other reviewers on here, first segment was pretty decent and had a nice backdrop and feel to it, if the budget from each segment went into the first to make a full movie it could of been decent with the 94 minutes, unfortunately it falls flat after the first segment, strangely enough if you click on the director of the first, apparently it's part of a tv series from back in 2019, so we may see more of it in the future, hopefully without the other parts!

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

2nd and 3rd on FF stop n go. specially 3rd one. ultra low budget . small cast. . still, first story main actor well cast/directed.

First story was definitely the best. Everything went downhill from there. 2nd story was the worst. I thought the 3rd story would tie everything in, but WRONG!! HAHAHA. This is storytelling with no resolve. There's no progression whatsoever. Just 3 half written stories. 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I feel like a 3rd grader wrote this. Lol. Oh well.

BTW, other than the middle story, there was some good acting. The main actors in the first story did an amazing job. I'd love to see a full length film just about that story.

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.
