This movie served up a delicious stack of preposterous improbabilities neatly pancaked one atop the other. Time was stretched to such infinite bounds that it brought back visions of the miles of hallway and secret passages weaving throughout the tiny shack in Evil Dead II. That mountain top box hut was bigger on the inside than it was on the outside; if you didn't get that, you won't "get" this movie.

A tiny helicopter becomes the perfect Noah's Ark metaphor with a gay bodybuilding Vietnam era Huey pilot snatched from a local health club at 4:00 in the morning along with his submissive girlfriend "Leslie" dutifully at the stick. We begin to sense the escape's ultimate futility on the pre-dawn Wilshire roof top while an odd collection of passengers line up two-by-two for the first leg of their voyage to sanctuary in a water rich hidden valley of Antarctica.

Clocks, Mad Magazine like, are relentlessly ticking away in the background reminding us that time has not stood stillÂ…though you'll believe it has, it must have!

The End of the World hasn't been this funny since Kubrick's wink at oblivion in Dr. Strangelove. You too may lose some vital bodily fluids on the Miracle Mile.
