Le dernier refuge

This has an interesting premise and could have been a good movie. Instead, the writers decided to make it an uptight, hipster, yuppie, thirty-something comedy-drama, complete with snooty attitudes, multiple annoying subplots and a man bun. I just couldn't get invested in their predictable, soap opera turmoil. The end of the world scenario takes up about ten minutes of time. The story line and attempts at cuteness are trite and pretentious. It's more like an uncomfortable high school reunion than an apocalypse. When it finally tries to get interesting and actually incorporate armageddon into the story, it's too little too late and just dumb. At least they have weed.

Streaming service labeled it as scifi/action, but it is a pure drama.

Very disappointing and was waiting all the time for when it would get good.

Instead just boring stuff about relationship drama with some unrealistic things that made us stop the movie and talk about how unrealistic that would be.

There's a bunch of end of the world series out there and my assumption is that this one tried to make a cut to be one of them but din't quite pull it off and thus is now shown as a full feature. Plot is feasible but all characters are paper thin - as they would be when you prepare for seasons work. Fair . Almost decent. Characters follow eerily the bad series line up. Same good guy bad guy settings... Maybe if they had some edge on "this pilot", if could had become series. Now acting presumptuous, slow, almost clumsy. It is what you would expect if you were watching the TV-series. When you expect a movie you want a movie. With the movie ending and not just filling...

"Goodbye World" is not an apocalyptic film as one thinks of one. The plot does not center on the destruction of infrastructure, landscapes of desolation, or immediate violence as new groups try to fill the power vacuum. "Goodbye World" is a glimpse of the quick dissolution into the state of nature that occurs in human relationships when society collapses. Common to all works of literature and film that deal with the subject of societal breakdown, established conflicts emerge. These include: the desire to hold onto familiar societal values; the relevance of property ownership without governing bodies; at what point does cooperation impede on the individual's ability to survive; and the possible irrelevance of social contracts (marriage)without government. The film subtly captures the characters not just as victims of impending doom but friends and lovers with established and complicated relationships. These established tensions within the relationships serve as a medium to convey the philosophical quandaries that are inherent in the age old political question: What is man in the state of nature? It should not be expected that the rich characters would set aside relational conflicts as the world ends. Such disaster only exacerbates the problems within their relationships. But the aggravation of old wounds and amplification of competing attitudes just makes the ending all the more sweet. Each character must say "Goodbye World" to their old prejudices and paradigms to walk brightly into the future without "the world as we know it."

If you had told me I was going to watch a movie about the end of the world that didn't focus on the downfall of society but instead focused on the drama within the lives of 8 friends I would have said no way. Yet somehow this movie was very enjoyable and kept me entertained for 100 minutes.

The acting was good.. the story was above average and the plight of these friends had a few twists and turns.
