Just who do these Hollywood types think they are? Surely it’s the ultimate in vanity to produce a blockbusting disaster film about your social scene, casting your friends as themselves and filling the script with in-jokes and references? This is the End reeks of the worst kind of narcissistic exercise. But, dammit, it almost pains me admit it, but it’s also the funniest film I’ve seen in a very long time.

It's rare that I see something that I find it hard to form a definite opinion of. This is one of those times. I'm genuinely puzzled as to whether 'Terminal: A Miracle Play with Popular Music from the End of the World' was an intelligently original take on the end of civilisation or a complete load of cobblers. Did I like it or didn't I? Do I just want to like it so much that I'm frantically trying to work out a reason? One thing I can certainly say is that they know how to sell me a cinema ticket. When the invitation popped up to this, it pushed all my buttons. How could I resist what was described as:-
"A film and live performance project exploring the politics of post-apocalyptic fiction. A theatrical staging of a morality play for end times and future folk music, it recasts eschatology, or the study of the end of history, as a foundational myth for a future society. "
