Last Night on Earth

Faced with impending doom from a planet-killing asteroid, a couple flee to the hills of Tennessee to spend their last days together - but the chaotic breakdown of society disrupts their peaceful plans.

I didn't expect much from this as the only actor I recognised was Dee Wallace. When the film first starts I also thought, 'typical B movie'. Boy was I wrong.

There's elements in there of old tropes like man who just won't die, man rescues his woman, woman rescues her man, and a fair few other ones.

But the truth is it's a great film with slightly poor dialogue at times, great editing, sometimes average acting but sometimes great acting, and a really good score. I'm very pleasantly surprised by this and give it a solid 6.

Love these sci-fi plots, but only when there's writing & acting to support them.

The main characters just plod along, waiting for things to happen.

The story takes too long to unfold, the acting is stifled and forced, and the characters are just plain boring.

Less than half the dialogue of most movies means we spend a lot of time just watching them walk around.

The whole first half of the film is just a lead-up to the main idea. No building of suspense or intrigue, though.

Add some awful music to the background and you'll wonder if you're actually watching a movie or just having a day-dream of watching a movie.

It's a real snooze fest.

What a snoozer! So clichéd. Oh no,earth is ending.

Typical format show a few flash backs,with current events & add normal people mixed with nut jobs.

Honestly for an event of such grand proportions,honestly could of made it more cinematic.. Was this film on a budget? The couple,locations,script in general was bland.

You didn't care about anyone,you just kept waiting for something big to happen-Even the climax was a joke.

What's unfortunate it was cast ok but acting like many things,in this movie left little to be desired.

Also why does there need to be an unnecessary animal killing? For shock factor,if anything it just derails any proof to be creative in making a suspenseful type movie.

Watch something else,unless you need help sleeping.

It was a great movie and gave us something to think about. What lengths would you go to how would you get there? And who could you turn to?

The movie was filmed in the Tennessee mountains. As good a region to film this as it gets. It had all the elements needed to for the perfect backdrop. The movie was chilling and truthful. Poignant. The main characters had the full attention of the audience. I will see it again. Great job!

The Q&A after the screening offered behind the scenes explanations, not that they would needed, but was something extra that gave us insight to the creation of the movie.and the sculpting of the characters.

I mean, are we supposed to be pulling for these people. The world is going to end so you get a lot of bad people out of the world work and that would probably happen but the main couple, besides just being incredibly unlikable, they were just dumb.

You see other reviews here points out some absurdities in their actions so I won't repeat but man, there comes a point where you're hoping the guy in the red shirt succeeds because everyone else is an idiot in this movie. And let's point out, red shirt guy was also overacting to the point of cringiness. I mean yeah, the dialog is stifled a lot through this but come on, give us something to root for, make us care about something.

As it is, the ending was okay because if you watch this you will hate everyone including the writer and director.
