Unexpected
4 Horsemen: Apocalypse dispenses with the usual buildup and gets right to the point. The world is in the midst of unprecedented storms, volcanic activity, and locust swarms. As is usually the case with Asylum films (who produced this film) this the last half hour does manage to pick up the pace. One character becomes possessed, a lake starts spitting out glowing explosive blobs, and a swarm of locusts attacks a helicopter that just happened to be sitting around a junkyard ready to fly. But even during the locust attack, there are more interior shots of people talking about it than shots of the CGI bugs. By this point, you’re probably wondering if since 4 Horsemen: Apocalypse is so low on apocalyptic content if it actually delivers any horsemen. Yes, they make a couple of blinks and you’ll miss appearances in the final fifteen minutes. Overall this film is very action-packed but still disappointing.
