Goodbye World

This has an interesting premise and could have been a good movie. Instead, the writers decided to make it an uptight, hipster, yuppie, thirty-something comedy-drama, complete with snooty attitudes, multiple annoying subplots and a man bun. I just couldn't get invested in their predictable, soap opera turmoil. The end of the world scenario takes up about ten minutes of time. The story line and attempts at cuteness are trite and pretentious. It's more like an uncomfortable high school reunion than an apocalypse. When it finally tries to get interesting and actually incorporate armageddon into the story, it's too little too late and just dumb. At least they have weed.

I had to give this movie a four out of ten stars. It was a good movie, well acting, but the plot and scenes didn't often make sense. The movie starts off right there when an apocalypse is happening. It's not really played out how the characters know each other, but they all end up at this one guys house to survive and out live the apocalypse. This move just has a lot of drama within the house of where they are staying, you start to forget that there's even an apocalypse going on. There is a text saying Goodbye World that is sent to millions of people. But this text doesn't really show anything about how the world is ending.. It's just a text message? It's as if the apocalypse isn't really happening in the movie, and these people are just having a get-together in this mans house. A lot of drama.

If you had told me I was going to watch a movie about the end of the world that didn't focus on the downfall of society but instead focused on the drama within the lives of 8 friends I would have said no way. Yet somehow this movie was very enjoyable and kept me entertained for 100 minutes.

The acting was good.. the story was above average and the plight of these friends had a few twists and turns.

6.4

Streaming service labeled it as scifi/action, but it is a pure drama.

Very disappointing and was waiting all the time for when it would get good.

Instead just boring stuff about relationship drama with some unrealistic things that made us stop the movie and talk about how unrealistic that would be.

There's a bunch of end of the world series out there and my assumption is that this one tried to make a cut to be one of them but din't quite pull it off and thus is now shown as a full feature. Plot is feasible but all characters are paper thin - as they would be when you prepare for seasons work. Fair . Almost decent. Characters follow eerily the bad series line up. Same good guy bad guy settings... Maybe if they had some edge on "this pilot", if could had become series. Now acting presumptuous, slow, almost clumsy. It is what you would expect if you were watching the TV-series. When you expect a movie you want a movie. With the movie ending and not just filling...
