Review of These Final Hours (2014) by Faraz M — 26 May 2017

Despite its apocalyptic cliches and heavy emphasis on gratuitous sex, I liked this film. Not that I'm a prude but it shows how shallow the lead character is that he chooses a hedonistic rave party over spending the end of the world with his girlfriend. It succeeds visually ( the film is set in Perth, a parched, sun-drenched.

City in Western Australia which lends itself to the subject, in much the same way the desert lent itself to apocalyptic classic Mad Max in the 70s). There is a strong, searing dry atmosphere throughout the movie and this gives it 'feeling' in spite of the lead character's questionable moral tendencies and selfish nature.
