These Final Hours is a post-apocalyptic drama film set in Australia, directed by Zak Hilditch. The film tells the story of a man named James, played by Nathan Phillips, who is on a mission to attend a party during the last hours of the world. The story takes place after an asteroid has hit Earth and has caused a global firestorm, destroying everything in its path. The movie opens with James waking up next to a woman he does not know, and he receives a call from his girlfriend, Zoe, played by Jessica De Gouw. Zoë tells him that she is in a suburb of Perth, and she wants James to come be with her. Still experiencing the day as if it is just like any other, James is hesitant, and he leaves the woman's house to attend the 'end of the world' party.

On his way there, James comes across a little girl named Rose, played by Angourie Rice, who is desperately searching for her father. At first, James is reluctant to help, but he eventually agrees to help the girl find her dad. As they make their way to the party, James begins to experience a sense of responsibility towards Rose, and he starts to rethink his priorities as he realizes that he has a moral obligation to protect the little girl as the world comes to an end.

Throughout the movie, we see James struggle with his feelings of guilt regarding his relationships and the choices he has made in life. As he tries to steer Rose towards safety, he realizes that he is moving away from the end of the world party where he is expected to live it up during his final hours. The film explores James' moral dilemmas, his desire to right his wrongs, and ultimately his search for redemption.

Another character that features prominently in the film is Vicky, played by Kathryn Beck, a distraught woman who has lost her family in the apocalypse. We see Vicky struggling to come to terms with her grief and the end of the world. She latches on to James in hopes of finding some solace and living her final hours with someone, and the two characters form a bond. However, James' commitment to Rose forces Vicky to confront her pain alone.

These Final Hours is an intense film that explores human emotions that arise in the face of impending death. The film is bleak and unforgiving, but it is also beautiful and truthful in its portrayal of human response to sudden disaster. The relationship that develops between James and Rose serves as an anchor in the story, providing a glimmer of hope in the midst of chaos and despair.

The acting in the film is superb, with Nathan Phillips delivering an excellent performance as the flawed protagonist, James. Jessica De Gouw does not have many scenes, but she manages to make them count, capturing the audience's attention with her presence. David Field delivers an impressive performance as Freddy, the party host, who provides some comic relief in the film.

The film's cinematography is stunning, capturing the destruction and beauty of the world as it comes to an end. The score and sound design are also noteworthy, adding an eerie sense of doom to the film.

In conclusion, These Final Hours is a compelling post-apocalyptic film that delves into human emotions during times of catastrophe. It is an expertly crafted drama that will leave the viewer contemplating the movie's themes long after the credits have rolled. It is undoubtedly a must-watch for fans of the genre.
