An asteroid named "Matilda" is on a collision course with Earth and in 21 days it will collide with and end all life, everything that could be done has been done and failed and now the world must prepare for the end. What would you do if your life and the world were doomed? One man decides to spend his time searching for a long lost love from high school (his wife has left him in the panic) during the upcoming apocalypse but not alone.......
This is a thinly veiled chick flick but the story of 21 days left for the world and what would you do intrigued me, some of the choices made my by some of the people amazed and dismayed me, it's a road movie, it's quite funny in places, it's a small story within the story of the world, there is rioting but it's just a scene setter for the rest of the movie.
The real story is between Steve Carell and Keira Knightley as they journey to the long lost love, they meet some great, absurd, annoying characters along the way, now these two are not my most favourite actors in the world but they perform well and didn't irritate me that much, a strange story with little shown about what real events would transpire as the world imploded, I didn't see it going this way myself but then I'm just a cynic......
.......I don't want to give away too much but it's worth a watch though but I would have gone another way with my 21 days!.
