Reviews:
” …while Tales of the Apocalypse is a competently made anthology that features a series of rich worlds, its lack of equally rich characterization proves a fatal shortcoming. As a singular idea, it is overly concerned with passing cinematic muster rather than being interesting to view. For a genre as full of imaginative potential as science fiction, having four stories that are just good enough may be the cruelest conceivable result.” 6.5 out of 10, Film Threat
“Four of the five segments that make up Tales from the Apocalypse are good, the fifth isn’t bad, it’s just rather pointless. The problem is they lack a common theme, despite the title they aren’t even all about the end of the world. Without a wraparound, it’s disjointed and feels like what it is, a group of random sci-fi shorts slapped together and called an anthology rather than the real thing.” 3 out of 5, Voices from the Balcony
