Los Últimos Días (David & Àlex Pastor, 2013)

When it comes to apocalypses, what's your flavour of choice? The nuclear holocaust option, zombies or aliens? Or, if you prefer something more scientific, an ecocatastrophe or a killer virus? The Last Days goes down the latter route and sadly forgets to make it at all credible: the world population is stricken with an epidemic of agoraphobia so intense that it kills those who venture outside the buildings they're cooped up in. And then, three months in, society has of course already gone Mad Max-feral, as it always will. The visuals of a ruined and deserted Barcelona are impressive, but the daft plot is strictly join-the-dots and without a stronger premise, there's little here to make the effort or expense justifiable.
