These Final Hours Reviews
Although the film lacks the bravura of Von Trier's Melancholia or the heart and humour of Don McKellar's Last Night, it does have a propulsive energy and a satisfying arc of redemption.
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 8, 2016
Has more to say than your usual apocalyptic affair.
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 5, 2016
As low-budget Ozploitation goes, it's snappy and effective.
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 3, 2016
So many films address the premise because it's always thought-provoking and affecting. This also has a bleached, depopulated, effectively catastrophe-struck feel and an intriguing adult-and-child road movie storyline.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 11, 2016
A run-of-the-mill apocalypse.
| Mar 5, 2015
An urgent yet strangely simple and humanistic doomsday scenario.
| Mar 5, 2015
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.

Incoherent and pointless as it is, These Final Hours moves with commendable swiftness.
| Original Score: C+ | Mar 5, 2015
A standout performance from 12-year-old Angourie Rice grounds the bizarre events whenever she's onscreen.
Full Review | Mar 3, 2015
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.
| Mar 3, 2015
Hilditch gets good mileage out of his cast.
| Mar 3, 2015
It's a drive through familiar terrain, the end of the world as we already know it.
| Oct 17, 2014
An intense and powerful what-if drama ...
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 16, 2014
The film is a showcase for Hilditch's technical skill, which includes an understanding of audience psychology: he has the knack of creating awful pictures in the mind while showing the worst horrors briefly or not at all.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 4, 2014
A symbolic work that fires from multiple cannons.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 31, 2014
The final graphic effects extravaganza is, I think, a mistake. Better to have ended on a note of eerie stillness and reflection. But if it's spectacle you want, those final moments are hard to beat. All reservations aside, it's a terrific movie.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 30, 2014
