As Earth approaches a cataclysm that will be its end, a self-obsessed man heads for the party-to-end-all-parties, but he ends up saving the life of a little girl who is searching for her father.

Critics Consensus

Writer-director Zak Hilditch's thought-provoking screenplay -- and a stellar performance from young Angourie Rice -- make These Final Hours worth watching, even if its end-of-the-world premise is overly familiar.

3/5

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.

As low-budget Ozploitation goes, it's snappy and effective.

A more aggressive, candid look at the human condition, dropping a bit of the idealism and metaphysical musings of its Canadian counterpart.

Phillips gives his all in a display that showcases a multitude of emotions, and they all are stellar in appearance - he's come a long way from Wolf Creek and is poised to make a huge mark in the business shortly...

It's an emotionally difficult, brutal, but also very sensitive film about what really matters when time is running out.

Slow and transparent. Decent performances but everything is very predictable.

I have a bit of a penchant for apocalyptic nihilistic movies and after a recommendation I would put this up there with Miracle Mile and The Quiet Earth as a great low budget movie. The premise is a little different and it shares elements of the odyssey. I will certainly be watching it again.
