The end of the World is nigh and the people of Perth have been told they have a mere 12 hours to sort out their affairs. James is a bit self absorbed and has had a life mainly dealing with his own wants – though he is not a bad person. But as destruction approaches he is told of the party to end all parties and so heads off across a town where all semblance of law and order has broken down to get his rocks off.
Along the way he comes across a seven year old girl, Rose, who has been split up from her father and, reluctantly, he decides to help her. The path to the reunification with her father takes him on his own path to find what truly matters to himself.
Now this is a film with a simple plot but it is cram full of things that make it stand far out from the crowd. The acting is superb and Rose played by Angourie Rice is excellent and so are all the supporting crew. The cinematography is subtle but brilliant and the special effects are completely believable. The real strength is the story and the underlying emotions that are rumbling along like the clouds of destruction that act like an urban soundtrack as the film nears its conclusion. This is a film you will remember you will talk about and may even want to see again – it is that good – highly recommended.
