A faux documentary with a twist, 'Ever Since the World Ended' unfolds in and around an eerily depopulated San Francisco 10 years after a mysterious plague has decimated humanity. But instead of making a movie about the aftermath of a disaster, the filmmakers, Calum Grant and Joshua Atesh Litle, have tried something a little more clever and a lot cheaper: to envision what the first movie made after that disaster might look like. The result is a rudimentary yet fascinating record of remembrance and reconstruction, accessed through survivor interviews and carefully chosen landscapes. Effects are all the more special for being minimal: a decaying Golden Gate bridge, a decomposing ship listing in the harbor. Thought-provoking rather than deeply philosophical, 'Ever Since the World Ended' features many engaging performances and several outstanding ones, including Mark Routhier as a damaged former emergency worker and David Driver as a self-justifying scavenger.
