Jack's Apocalypse is unable to convey any realistic stakes or authenticity in its story line.

Jack's apocalypse 7.2.21 6.1/0. Oh come on, how can he detox soooooo easily. Some acting not so great. Like that the fogies got instigated into it so quick, shouldn't judge!. Ended in the middle!! D.B.

As far as apocalypse goes this was pants. This was slow and anticlimactic throughout. I was left wondering what the point was.

Rises above its low budget and unconvincing plot with strong performances and really great soundtrack.

Enjoyable post-apocalyptic and tale of redemption merge, with an indie vibe. It's really not a "horror" film, but definitely 2 dramas happening at the same time - an outer apocalypse and an inner apocalypse. Seemed to capture a realistic feel in the struggle with addiction and its destruction on one's life. More cerebral than action for an end of the world flick. Some clever plot devices were refreshing. An enjoyable amount of metaphysics without being preachy. Nice cinematography and some interesting setting with some strong performances, and an enjoyable somewhat open ending that allows the viewers to think for themselves.

It had no direction. Situations and props were random and lacked purpose. The concept was good but poorly executed.

Clever and touching! A Season in Hell redemption tale well above the usual independent end of the world fare. Mr. Maldonado as others have mentioned anchored the movie squarely on his ample shoulders and walked away with it. The other cast members filled out their characters with a powerful professionalism. A most enjoyable way to spend 1:20:18!
