4:44 Last Day on Earth
Released: 2011
Drama, but also supposed to be something else - I'm going to guess, sci-fi?
Director: (should be taken out into the street and shot for making such a terrible film) Abel Ferrara
Starring: Willem Defoe, Shanyn Leigh
Running Time: WAYYYYYY TOOOO LONGGGGG at 82 minutes
Rated: R
The breakdown: A couple is shown during their last 24 hours on Earth after it's revealed to the world that the next morning at 4:44, the world will end.
I really was interested from the description of this film on my guide so I decided to watch it.
First off, let me tell you the main plot.
The world is told that at 4:44 am the next day, the world will end. No one will survive. This movie shows what a couple - one young female painter, and a much older successful actor do on their last day on Earth.
That's it.
I was thinking there was going to be more to it. But this might be one of the the most boring movies I have ever witnessed.
Almost the entire movie shows this couple in their New York apartment doing things like calling their loved ones on Skype, ordering take out (why anyone would still be doing their job at this point is beyond me - especially a food delivery boy), watching people on the street, watching the news, having sex, painting, and changing clothes.
Nothing really happens. I'm pretty sure it would be as interesting as watching my husband and I in our house, for 24 hours on a normal day......boring....or wait no, at least my husband and I are funny, so we'd probably make you guys laugh at some point.
I was so mad at the end of this movie for making me wait for a good story to come along and never delivered. Actually mad at the writer and director for making me waste an hour and 22 minutes of my life. A completely pointless movie.
DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE NO MATTER WHAT.
Promise me?
Please.
0 out of 5 for no entertainment value at all. I like Willem Defoe and I can't imagine why he agreed to do this film.
