Armageddon Tales

Three short dystopian films. They're okay; but nothing great. If you like dystopia, then you'll like these. Much drama, few gimmicks. Seen on Tubi, the free streaming site; which has indies, foreigns, older studio films; and now, live TV.

I get the plot, but the only reason I gave it a 6/ 10 is because I think people should watch this and this is my first review, the movie is good, but Jesus use weapons with magazines. Not laser weapons, and if you want modern (or mid century weapons) don't shoot the person in the field again w out a magazine in your Ak. And don't rack your Ak w out a magazine when your trying to defend yourself. Fire whoever is your armorer, or your going to lose a lot of sci fi enthusiasts cause modern weapons don't make those noises. Plot is good, firearms way out of date for the plot and the sound. If you want low budget noise or sounds w the firearms use them, don't make archaic weapons sound futuristic. Happy to help on you next film. FFL and SOT Enjoyed the film, thanks.

Part 1. Good score, cinematography and not bad acting from the older guy, but the script just didn't feel right - especially the narration near the start but seen as a comic strip style production it was interesting. 5/10 Part 2a. What the? Written by a 9 year old maybe? This is where the low budget really shows up. 1/10 Part 2b. The 2 characters from 2a start again in a different location with the post apocalyptic story for an even shorter short. I gave this some credence as some sort of alternative ending but the script and acting were no better than 2a. 1/10 Part 3. Unlike most reviewers on here I found this 4th post apocalyptic scenario more realistic with half decent acting, a believable script and reasonable story line of contention over resources. Not sci-fi though, unless you consider the technology, something that is almost upon us, to be fiction. 7/10.

...instead you will watch 4( or 5?) short, uninspiring, brutal, pointless stories not even closely related, with good actors though. I'm sorry I have to agree with most of the other reviews, and I'm not often rating negative. 1,5h I wont get back.

Apparently, following Armageddon we all find large industrial buildings to haunt... or stick to open fields. This is a pretty cheap looking Armageddon, and, short of minor interest in the first segment, the rest of the film is slow going. Notable for one Canadian segment where a polite intruder begs for water, obediently drops her gun when challenged - and then gets some water. If this had been filmed elsewhere, there would have been three people dead and a fourth exsanguinating. If you're working late at night, it's all passable enough to watch out of the corner of your eye without too much distraction.

First story was definitely the best. Everything went downhill from there. 2nd story was the worst. I thought the 3rd story would tie everything in, but WRONG!! HAHAHA. This is storytelling with no resolve. There's no progression whatsoever. Just 3 half written stories. 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I feel like a 3rd grader wrote this. Lol. Oh well. BTW, other than the middle story, there was some good acting. The main actors in the first story did an amazing job. I'd love to see a full length film just about that story.

I gave this a 7 based on the first piece alone. It was by far the best segment and left me wondering why it was even included in this. It ought to be on Netflix or Amazon Prime or any other streaming service as a series. The story, directing, acting , locations, camera work and score were all superb. Whomever cast the two leads in this is very good at their job. The 3 shorts are really not connected to each other storywise and I found that confusing. As for the other two shorts, I didn't really find a lot to keep me interested, to be honest.
