Another Great Masterpiece by a Legendary Man
ArchilArjevanidze10 December 2016
Ermalo Magradze tries his best to send message of hope in viewers hearts, and he does that extremely well, "Apocalypse Will Not Happen" is not some everyday blockbuster about natural disasters or explosions and so on... it's about disaster in human kind, that we lost track of our roots and are hopeless in this brutal society that stigmatises everything good in our nature. will we find the way to avoid huge distraction? will God prevent terrible things from happening to our kind? only time will tell.

Story is about middle aged man, who got a hold of millions of dollars from a guy that I'd like to call "Messenger from God", and from then on he's on the mission to change the world for good. after waking up from a terrible nightmare, knowing that the end might be near, he spends rest of his life doing kind things for humanity. as story goes, you get to know main protagonist more and more, it's like you get to feel his shoes, because you experience everything he does like your own adventure.

why 9 and not 10? because I'm sure that Ermalo Magradze has much more to say in cinematic universe, and I'd like to hope that there is much more to come from this genius man. I wish that his next movie "Tea" will be the movie that I'll proudly rate as 10/10.

Ermalo Maghradze for UN Secretary!

Warning: Spoilers
I like how the director depicts a life of perfect man - Akaki (the main character), his everyday life, his work, his charm, his views and visions - "The universe is like a spiral, everything beyond it, is something we will never understand". The director uses unnatural amount of cuts during this scene, I think this also describes how hard it can be for a regular man to express his philosophical discourse and proselitism on teenagers, who are craving for his preaching. For a man like Akaki, seeing a woman thrice is enough for both to fall in love and get married.

#ermaLOVE - Ermalo Maghradze definitely has a lot to say to the world.
