La fin est proche

This movie is kind of entertaining for the sci-fi fan. It has many references to other Sci-Fi creations, including Star Trek, Star Wars, Stargate, Battle Star Galatcia and Dune. In fact the film must assume many of the users are familiar with many of these Stories as elements of each are used throughout. For instance Stargates are used both with no explanation of what for. The film is scattered with cheesy humor, that gives it much charm. The start of the movie features a 5+ minute prologue, which in part seems to be put in to extend the movie length. Don't see it to be blown away by special effects. See it when you are in the mood for some grade B Sci-fi.

I do enjoy Sci-Fi movies when they're done right. Humanity's End did have some good ideas going for it, and is a better movie than I expected it to be if suffering from some very big problems. Technically it's not too bad, I've seen far worse looking films especially from The Asylum. The sets are colourful, the galactic backgrounds are wholly convincing, the ships, their interiors and the planets look cool and the photography is not too choppy. The film at least has some kind of pace(if not particularly exciting), it starts very promisingly and the females are very cute and sexy. Unfortunately while there are far worse out there, the graphics can be quite bad, the nephalium fleet doesn't look remotely convincing and the movements can look unnatural. The explosions are too diluted and somewhat outdated as well. The acting is not particularly good either, the sexiness of the females isn't enough to disguise their blandness and the lead, especially his voice, is really annoying. Their characters don't engage at all, and often act like idiots. But what really sinks Humanity's End is how poor the writing is. The script is made up too much of cheesy humour and jargon that definitely sounds made up which confuses things significantly. The story has some good ideas, that are either never expanded upon or don't make any sense and there isn't really much of a structure either. Overall, decent to look at but poorly written, had much potential but could've been much better. 4/10 Bethany Cox

Humanity's End is literally one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It has a nearly incomprehensible plot, what little there is of it, about a future where there are constructs, neanderthals, nephilim, and biobots, robots, and regular humans. There is some war or something, and some groups fighting other groups. The story seems to revolve around a ship called the Blue Whale, or something like that, which looks a lot like a WW2 German Uboat on steroids.

There are space ships, gun fights, bombs, and explosions, all done is very poor special effects and with almost no meaning at all to what is happening. There also is a sperm carrying teddy bear. I kid you not.

The acting is very bad, but the script is worse. The extremely long and boring intro to the movie goes through some "lost history" of humanity. It is so convoluted and bizarre that it is not easily followed.

The characters are uneven and some suddenly change attitudes and styles right in the middle of the movie, without any explanation??!?? Truly poorly done.

I would give the movie zero stars, but that was not an option.

The only positive thing I can say about Humanity's End is that some of the background music was nice.

This is my first "review" ever, not to review a nice movie, but to warn all you people out there NOT to watch this piece of crap! You'd rather help your wife vacuumcleaning the house or wash the dishes or something than waste your precious time on this masterpiece of fail. I saw the DVD at the merchandise of a manowar concert, since neil johnson did some manowar videos. The cover looked nice, so did the title but I think instinct told me not to spend my precious money on it. After some time I started to regret my decision and started searching the net for it, months passed before I found it and with time my expectations probably got a little high. The day had finally come to drop down on the couch with a good friend of mine, fridge full of beer,big bag of quality pot on the table, and put the nice shining silver disc into the player... what happened next were probably the worst approximately 90 minutes of my life! An intro which took much too long,however giving some expectations of a good film, and after that 80minutes of really, really bad acting; so bad you would be glad to watch series like 'as the world turns' and 'the bold and the beautiful' just to see the smooth playing of the characters! For the budget I think the special effects were OK, accually I think the total budget was spent on it and none was left to make a movie of it. My whole story summarized: anything, really anything you can imagine to do is better than spending time in watching this movie!! And Johnson should quit wasting his time on making crap movies instead he should put his time back in what he's doing best: making great videoclips for true metal warriors!!

I gave this movie 2 stars - one for the special effects and such, there are a lot of those, although not the best I saw, its decent, and one for being a bit more original story than most movies now-days.

However this is where the good ends pretty much - all actors were amateurs, the storyline, while interesting - was inconsistent, and hard to get its "feel", even though a lot of time was spent at the opening, displaying a time-line of events - too bad it wasn't elaborate and detailed introduction.

Overall - get 80 minutes of extra sleep rather than see this movie, is my recommendation :)
