El Día del Fin del Mundo

Though this story is intense, I feel very annoyed by a series of poor decisions by the lead couple. I couldn't empathise with the family, and hence couldn't get into the story.

Watched "Greenland". Doesn't add anything new to the catastrophic events genre, yet it was the perfect movie to watch amid the coronavirus pandemic. Sitting in a sparsely populated movie theater, wearing my facemask, I was thinking "it could be so much worse!"

We went tonight, my girlfriend and I, as two people who likes this kind of movies and we loved it.

English is not my native language so I will keep it short : this is a well made apocalypse movie that evolved from those made in the 90s and 00s. We can feel a contemporary vibe here and it is refreshing.

What I liked : No downtime, lots of emotions and twists. Intense.

What I didn't like : bad CGI at some points

Positive:

• emotions and tension instead of pure doomsday
• the focus is on the human scale of a crisis, which makes this a realistic feeling rarity of a disaster film
• strong main actor pair

Negative:

• too many plot twists and always new obstacles to overcome
• in some moments a bit rough
• not consistently convincing CGI effects
• unfortunately genre-typical heroic towards the end.

A decent end of the world movie that deals with what would happen on the ground. Follows one family, and their interactions with other desperate people. Reasonable acting, and nice special effects.

Worth watching.
