Three sentence movie reviews: Seeking a Friend for the End of the World
Once, long ago, in the throws of a depression, I watched a movie called Last Night and man, did it stick with me in a god-I-hated-and-was-disturbed-by-that-movie kind of way. But it’s also made me continually seek out end-times movies just to see if there is anything better. This was well acted and engaging,* but still left me with the completely depressed feeling that all is not well.**
Cost: free from library
Where watched: at home.
*Although it skimped on a ton of detail. Where were they getting their gas? I can’t imagine gas station attendants would still be coming to work.
**I should perhaps give up thinking that such movies can be anything but depressing.

Oh god, I too have seen Last Night and it’s SO disturbing/depressing. I still feel upset that what’s-her-name’s character never made it home to her family before the end. 🙁
Anyway, I liked this movie except I hate that it “went there” with the romance. I preferred the friendship.
Yeah, I would have been okay with it if they had stayed friends.
