starring the very hard-to-mind-looking-at Rhona Mitra, opens [today]. It is but
the latest in a long and hallowed tradition of using the controlled, expensive
technology of motion pictures to imagine how things will look as our planet,
spinning out of control with its resources depleted, chews through its last
nerve and prepares to breathe its last. We don't know for sure how the world
will really end of course, but one thing's for sure; if the last person who's
there to see it has seen the right movies, he's certain to spend his last
minutes experiencing a powerful sensation of deja vu.”
