Goodbye World (2013)
7/10
Superb Acting in this Drama about a New World
15 May 2014
I heard a lot of complaints about this movie and I really think people just didn't get it.

The movie start out in an apocalyptic scenario but it soon retreats in what is to be a clash of different personalities in a single house.

The "reunion" is about long lost friends of the past who will be in the exact same place and time for the end of the world due to an unknown Cyb attack.

The main focus on this movie is not about the end of the world or how it came to be, to be frank, the explanations are quite surreal and far-fetched, I'm a network administrator and I can corroborate that idea is just completely implausible, that this stop me from enjoying the movie?, not at all ! The acting and script is the main attraction into this movie, the relationships between friends, the slowly destruction of the moral values and how this people behave, take responsibility, choose their paths and go on with their lives.

The movie is not boring, AT ALL, it moves in a right pace and works, most of all, as a drama.

It has some dark moments but the ending is nearly perfect and fits with each personality at play, it doesn't feel forced at all.

Excellent acting all the way, i must compliment all the actors for this wonderful job.

I really don't understand the bad criticism, yes, i know that this movie is similar to It's a Disaster, what movie isn't similar to another movie these days?, even still, it isn't a fair argument to criticize it.

I could sympathize with all the characters, each with their own weakness and strengths. Even when there are dark moments in this story, the message is really positive all around.

If you want to see a nice drama involving people I am sure you will like this but please, don't see this movie expecting an apocalyptic type scenario with people killing each other, madness and excessive CGI because you will be sorely disappointed.

This is a solid 7 out of 10, i'm sure is not a 5, don't trust IMDb ratings as the sole truth, it isn't.
