Armageddon Tales

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

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 !!!!

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!

Kind of lost me at the post apocalyptic freshly barber trimmed hair do.

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.
