Smartly written, beautifully shot, sensitively acted, and occasionally really sexy.

The matte paintings behind waiting crowds, the Doomsday Mardi Gras parade, the tinted views of London gone silent, all build up to something like a Hawks film twisted in a fever dream, with echoes of Them! and its palpably looming Limit. It hits hard in human scale and makes our current overblown form of disaster flick seem undeniably petty.

Classic Sci fi definitly worrth a watch.
