4:44 Last Day on Earth (2011)

Another last day

This film generated some buzz last year at some festivals and on some websites. I have been jonesing to see it for months now.  It got a very limited cinema release and never came anywhere near me.  I finally got it from Netflix the other day and very much wish I could go back in time and take it off my queue.  This film was bad.  Really bad.  Like terribly bad.  The filmmakers jumped on the bandwagon of 'earth disaster' films, but they forgot to bring a good story or decent acting.  The acting was bad.  The writing was bad.  Everything was bad.  Its like a B-movie gone wrong.  It felt very contrived as if it were trying too hard to be important.  Instead of watching this train wreck, try Melancholia, Another Earth, or Tres Dias.
