Plot: A philosophy class' final is to decide who will live and who will die in a three different hypothetical apocalypse situation. There is also a romance between two of the students who are the best in the class and the professor tries to pin them against each other. This movie is great for making you think but also has lovely humorous moments. I found this movie very entertaining and interesting and recommend it to others.

Characters/Actors:

Sophie Lowe playing Petra: The only issue I had with this movie is the acting; Ms. Lowe is the main character in this film and she is the main culprit. The way she portrayed her character was soft and submissive, something that makes her character suffer. Since she is the smartest in the class and ends up being the leader and I found her attitude annoying. She just wasn't assertive enough to be a real leader. She also has to face a tug-of-war scenario and she does not give a single care about it and I felt that she could have given some emotion there. 

James D'Arcy playing Mr. Zimit: Mr. D'Arcy plays his character well. Mr. Zimit is a jerk of a professor who loves to stir the pot and make a bad situation even worse. He's also got a secret which we find out at the end between him and Petra. I thought his performance was well done.

Bonnie Wright playing Georgina: Ms. Wright's character is not a pivotal person in the film but loved her character. Georgina has the most leadership out of all the students and is very smart. Ms. Wright also has a soft voice but is assertive enough to tell off Mr. Zimit. I wish that Ms. Wright played Petra instead.

Music: The movie uses lots of brass. It was used well and I enjoyed it.

Cinematography/Camera Work: The movie appeared to be in high definition. The colors and lines were sharp. They also used slow motion often in the film but I thought it was used well. Good work here.

RECAP:

The movie is entertaining and it looks nice. I felt that Ms. Lowe was not assertive enough but the other actors do a fairly good job. The reason I did not rate it higher is because I would laugh at how ridiculous some of it was or how awkward. There is a scene where they have to decide who will repopulate the human race, and it is a serious discussion, but I couldn't stop laughing. I would recommend watching it and hope you enjoy this film.
