Millions of people dying in the apocalypse but the Army is negotiating with an escaped criminal to save THREE nobody hostages... that's a plot hole that is hard to overcome. But otherwise it's not the worst 'Asylum' style disaster flick. But still, it's pretty bad ?

LA APOCALYPSE is a particularly inane addition to the end-of-the-world disaster movie sub-genre as seen on the likes of the SyFy Channel. It features a cookie-cutter predicament for our heroes to sort out, some truly lousy CGI action sequences, laughable science, and general poor writing all round. The characters have no delineation whatsoever, the plotting is so obscure as to be headache-inducing, and the running time chiefly consists of various characters running around and barking orders at each other. It's a truly lousy view.

For a "B" Movie, this is one of the best I've ever seen!! While there were small plot and story holes, and cheaper special effects (compared to major motion pictures) I was amazed at how good the movie was. If you are like me and can suspend disbelief and get into a movie without nitpicking it to death, you should give this one a try...The story took unexpected turns which kept my interest and the acting, for the most part, was, like the rest of the movie, surprisingly well done. Id say give it 30 minutes...and THEN make up your mind on whether to continue watching. I did. And I was pleasantly surprised.
