A run-of-the-mill apocalypse.

Neil Genzlinger, New York Times
Fresh

An urgent yet strangely simple and humanistic doomsday scenario.

Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
Rotten

The low-budget Australian apocalyptic drama has such a terrific start - an adrenaline rush of panic and dread as a huge asteroid colliding with the Earth sends a wall of fire around the planet. It's a shame the movie peters out about halfway through.

Cary Darling, Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Rotten

Incoherent and pointless as it is, These Final Hours moves with commendable swiftness.

Vadim Rizov, AV Club
Rotten

Despite its strong sense of place and a solid central performance from Nathan Phillips, Zak Hilditch's film is too blighted by the deja vu factor to stand out from the apocalyptic pack.
