Verdict on The Last Anniversary
Recap
The movie follows a group of friends who reunite on the eve of an apocalypse. It shows them remembering what happened all those years ago and how things turned into a nightmare, before they accept their impending fate.
Best Parts
The reunion before an apocalypse is very interesting. It shows something has happened to split them up, but keeps it secret for the most part of the movie. This makes us want to know the event which led to this moment, as the friends almost seek forgiveness before the world ends. The performances are good from the whole cast. Here is a mixed thing, both good and bad. The impending apocalypse lingers, it could be seen as not knowing too much in a good way.
Worst Parts
Following up from the final point in the good being a mixed thing. By not given enough about the apocalypse, you can sometimes find yourself wondering what is coming, rather than what the characters are meeting for.
Final Thoughts – The Last Anniversary keeps the mystery around the meeting together perfectly.
