Creativity Lost

Rating: 2/10 (21 September 2013)

The plot starts out interesting. As others wrote, it makes you curious how these comedians are going to deal with the situation they soon find themselves in. And what exactly that situations is about. This is were the potential of the movie starts to collapse.
SPOILERS: Soon after the apocalypse begins, the viewers find themselves mostly trapped in the boring, confined setting of the few rooms of a snobbish house. Imagination and wondering are all left outside. And - unlike the "12 Angry Men" from 1957 - these characters aren't even curious enough to look.
Rather, they go on each others as well as our own nerves by stepping on each others toes as much as they can, leading them only to stereotypical, immature arguing about completely apocalypse-unrelated things. See other postings for details.
Sure enough they eventually find their way out of that house. Yet only to discover a philosophically completely unchallenging Christian style apocalypse with average cgi.
Once Satan is evaded they finally end up where they were heading for the last 30 minutes of the movie.
Ironically though, the motto of the flicks heaven is "everything you can imagine is yours". And since the writers' imaginations do not appear to be particularly great, we find ourselves in a heaven-end-scene that is a mix of a Tobacco-Segway-Backstreet Boys commercial.
Pherhaps this movie really is meant to be a drama. But not in that the apocalypse is meant to be terrible for all the demons and deaths it brings, but for bringing those guys together in that house? And maybe for us watching it?
In the end, the viewer is the one who's been played the joke upon.
