This is the End

Maybe, after seeing the greatness of Man of Steel, it was a bad idea to go see this movie.  This was the worst movie I've seen in the theatres in a long time.  It's really too bad because I was looking forward to seeing this movie.

The movie begins with a very long unfunny intro about Seth Rogen picking up his buddy Jay Baruchel from the airport to hang out for the weekend.  It continues with them getting high and watching 3D television (maybe if the movie was in 3D, it would have been fun).  They then head to James Franco's house for a party.  There are lots of cameos and I'm sure some inside jokes along with actors not really acting the way they act in real life.  I'm sure this is all very funny to some people.  Not me.

The movie continues with Seth and Jay going to the convenient store to pick up cigarettes and that's when the apocalypse begins.  They hurry back to James Franco's house where almost everybody that would have helped make the movie funny dies.  They quote a few passages from Revelation to explain that it's the end of the world and what is supposed to happen.  Since they quote specifically the dragon portion, I expected at least a How to Train Your Dragon joke at Jay's expense. 

Overall, a pretty dumb movie that I'm glad I only spent matinee price to attend. I would recommend waiting for the cheapest at home version if you are even interested in this movie. In my mind it's not worth the time. Also, nothing in the credits either.
