End of the World is a SyFy original about nerds like you and me (except not, I don't believe in their hobby for a second) surviving an apocalyptic event (as far as these things go, it's techno-babbly solar flare/EMP disaster) and trying to save the world using their obsessive knowledge of disaster movies. They're lucky, because movie logic dominates, while tight plotting does not. There are several instances of something being important until they're suddenly not, and the characters don't always seem to take things seriously enough, wasting time at the worst possible time, or if they're villains, being obstructionist for no reason. J.J. Abrams' BFF Greg Grunberg and Eureka's Neil Grayston pull off neither the required gravitas of the situation, nor the camp humor of the genre. Like every self-respecting B-movie, it nevertheless has a "big name" in Brad Dourif, and in B-movie fashion, he probably filmed all his bits in a day and a half. Oh well. 6 years 3 months ago
