JohnLeeT already said everything in his funny and poignant review of the movie. This one is just in case you didn't get into a laughing fit when reading it; after all the humor isn't that clear if you haven't watched the movie yet. The only thing that did bother me a bit when watching the movie was that the cinematography was rather ordinary and it wouldn't have hurt to let the nine-year-old suffer through another ten to twenty minutes of character development. So the movie may not accompany me throughout my life, but it contained/was a compilation of the most believable and intimate interactions between loving people on screen that I've seen in a long time. Not only do I not mind the fact that no "actual event" is shown, but I consider that the only viable way of depiction of this kind of event. The eradication of a majority of humanity would not be a spectacle to be gazed at, mesmerizing.Anyways, have fun watching this fine movie!

An apocalyptic film in which there is never a payoff. No "event" ever takes place and certainly isn't depicted. It is completely inexplicable. Where are the huge waves and destruction of the Statue of Liberty? Where are the nuclear blasts and shock waves? No flaming comet is shown approaching earth or rampaging contagion depicted spreading across globe. While the movie is well acted, it is a bitter disappointment. There is no complete breakdown in the power grid, mobs of zombies, or any of the plethora of apocalyptic scenarios available to the film makers. It makes no sense at all and three stars are awarded simply because the acting is good. If there had been some suggestion that another planet had been discovered and only a short time was left until that earth would be obliterated by it, then it would worthy of a much better rating.

A film I couldn't wait to end it was so slow and non eventful. The script was minimal,there were no noticeable transitions to the flashbacks and most of the characters acted as if they had no idea what was happening.This was an example of good well known actors roped into what was supposed to be a modern day version of On the Beach, but without any of the tension, dialog and story. Rather than engaging in pointless flashbacks, more attention should have been paid to the worldwide disaster unfolding.Parts Per Billion illustrates why many low budget films never get shown widely...the script was lousy and production values mediocre.

From beginning to end you will find a continuous disconnect in a script that finds you trying to figure out if your are watching previews of multiple movies with different genres. The movie is so involved with the relationships that the only attachment to whats going on seems to be shrouded by annoying stereotypical banter. Just another paycheck for some highly respected actors. The only thing more thrilling than the end credits was some meaningful attempt by some of the actors to try to make a horrid script, at least for their part, a more connected journey. Granted there may be a lot of horrible films out there, but avoiding this one will give you more time to catch the latest G O T!!
