Huh, I wonder how much that movie inspired Death Stranding 2: On the Beach which takes place in Australia.

Ah ok. Seems like These Final Hours still borrowed liberally from that story, because once again it is Australia, except this time they are just waiting for the firestorm to reach them after a massive meteor hit in the Atlantic and is wiping the world clean. And the movie ends on the beach no less, if I remember correctly. A quick google doesn't really show too many people making the comparison though, so maybe since I haven't seen them both I'm way off. Sounds really similar though. You might want to check it out all the same.

On the Beach (1959) is almost like doom porn. It's just showing how people react differently to incoming unstoppable death. There is a side quest with the sub, but its just there to set up some false hope. The ending really did sort of surprise me with the sub crew. I didn't expect Hollywood would go that route.

This movie is a big guilty pleasure of mine. Both as a fan of horror and B movies and of cars and speed.

I probably jerked it 100 times to that movie when I was 13.

**Edit**

Holy fuck just put on a random movie "Unnatural" from 2015 and she's in it! Looks like a 60yo granny that's been chain smoking for 40 years. Nasty. Can't believe I tugged my adolescent cock to that creature!

I have both on DVD, and I think they both might be available for free on YouTube. I watched them again earlier this year. They're both good, and the Armand assante one is actually pretty long. I have a feeling maybe it was a two-part miniseries on TV at one point.

I'm not aware that it is/was a remake, but you might be talking about These Final Hours. I really liked that movie, although it isn't one that I'd watch again anytime soon. The young girl in it was in The Nice Guys very soon after I watched it and was great there, and ended up with minor parts in all of the Holland Spider-Man movies (she was one of the school news anchors I believe), so it was interesting seeing her "grow up" in various movies over a couple of years.

Whether it is a remake or not, I would recommend watching These Final Hours since it sounds like On the Beach is very similar.

These Final Hours is a great movie. You can definitely see On the Beach influences. Another good one for end of the world character dramas is I Think We're Alone Now with Peter dinklage. It's worth checking out.
