Today in Llandudno I have been to see Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World.
A 75 mile wide asteroid is on a collision course with the Earth. Humanity has just 21 days left. While the media provide a cheery countdown to doom, interspersed with classic rock, people start to seize the moment. Among them is the wife of meek, conformist insurance salesman Dodge (Steve Carell), who promptly leaves him! Adrift, Dodge teams up with extrovert neighbour Penny (Keira Knightley) and they hit the road together. He's determined to track down his school sweetheart, while she plans to spend her last days with her family in England. But as they flee the riot-torn city, this odd couple embark on a journey that is as much personal as it is incident-packed. Best known for adapting 'Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist' for the screen, writer/director Lorene Scafaria delivers a moving, frequently hilarious film that explores apocalypse on a human scale.
