yadaboy It just doesn't have a decent ending. I hate when that happens.
kosmasp I don't know if the makers of Coherence watched this movie (probably not), but it's interesting what you can do with a little set piece and one location/house, with some characters in it. This has some dialog highlights (not sure if I personally would consider the duct/duck tape thing as one of them, but you'll be the judge of that and other smaller conversation pieces, that make this feel sort of real) and the acting is really good.You may feel like you've been in a situation like this or a similar one, though obviously not with the same outer perimeters. This makes this easy to access and if you like the humor this thing delivers (mostly), than you will have a very good time
dansview If the people are not religious and never proclaimed allegiance to Jesus, and if some are happy adulterers, how can they go to heaven? Why does the Ben Cross character think they would go to heaven? Why would drinking poison help you go to heaven better than dying from Nerve Gas, if in neither circumstance, did you find Jesus? Having said all that, I like the premise. Apocalyptic stuff can happen when you least expect it. You could be in the bathroom, or at a brunch, or whatever.In this case, the people could only react to the situation within the context of who they were. With no forewarning, they could just be themselves to the end, without much philosophizing. Whereas if they got a year's notice, they could possibly transform into deeper people.The reality is that a lot of people have the skills to do some job, but are pretty shallow and worthless otherwise. In this case, these were people who were raised on pop culture and cynicism. Some had skills and all could afford homes and cars. But they had no class.One reviewer from New Zealand said that was because these people were shallow Americans. But I'm not sure what he's talking about. Would he prefer we beat each other up over soccer matches or wait in long lines for socialist crap? There are a lot of shallow, worthless people all over the world. It's not unique to America. Nice use of dark comedy. I really liked the comic book guy. He had some funny lines and a really quirky way about him. I didn't need to see America Ferrera on the toilet. There's no point to that.Not one character ever mentioned their parents or siblings.Wouldn't drinking that poison lead to a tortured and prolonged death just like the nerve gas? Why were they referencing the University of Texas? Was it supposed to be Austin? The writer is from New Orleans. No one had an accent.I think it did show that couples can stick together, even after betrayal, when they have enough time and equity built into the relationship.The speech by the America Ferrera character about how the disaster made her realize that she wants out of her relationship was one of the best parts.The shots of their friends laying dead on the front porch were pretty eerie and a good use of tragicomedy.I wouldn't recommend this movie. It's depressing and not that funny. It would have to have been either funnier or deeper, to make it worth your while. But there was some good writing and adequate performances. Forget about it.
gorf77 I love the performers in this. I love the concept. It is incredibly well done, real and fun. I cannot over-state how much fun this is!I do not think I am including spoilers by pointing out the basic plot.A bunch of "friends" get together for a monthly brunch. Before things even get going, they get interesting. Then, they have reason to think that the end of the world is upon them.The fun is watching people with nothing to lose calmly exploring, in an often amusing way, their lives and relationships. I have to give kudos to the cast again. They are all absolutely terrific an well cast. They're real. They feel like people I've met and soul searched with myself. It is on Netflix streaming at this time. If you miss it, you stink :-)
