Night of the Comet (1984)

Rate: 2
Viewed: 11/11

11/11: A dreadful bore, Night of the Comet is as B flick as it gets.

In many ways, it's a rip-off of The Omega Man. The first half is better than the second which is such a slog to go through. I like the cinematography, especially the background, but it gets old quickly. Many post-apocalyptic elements are nothing new.

Yeah, like I believe these guys are the only ones to survive out of five billion people on the planet. Come on, please try to be more realistic. There will be survivors emerging from elevators, subway, buses, cars, etc., all over Los Angeles. Millions more can be found worldwide who are lucky enough to be sheltered for a brief moment during the impact. By the way, will the comet turn only people into dust? I ask this because plants are still alive as they're also classified as living organism.

All in all, Night of the Comet is full of contradictions.
