Title: As close as you can get to a good Uwe Boll movie
Review: This movie came SO close to being something decent, which is surprising considering Uwe Boll's name was attached. It seemed like he was trying for a character-driven story about a fractured family struggling to reconnect in the face of the (apparent) end of the world, and for the first two acts that's what viewers get. It's not perfect in its execution, but it's promising enough.Then the third act comes along, and the plot thread involving Luke Perry's character takes such a wild left turn it derails everything the filmmakers built up earlier. It certainly wasn't a predictable twist, but from a characterization standpoint it made no sense, and the climax as a result feels like a huge letdown.Overall this was more palatable than most of Uwe Boll's movies, but a botched ending rather ruined the whole thing for me.
