Leave your thoughts about Collapse.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertI don't know when I've seen a thriller more frightening. I couldn't tear my eyes from the screen. Collapse is even entertaining, in a macabre sense. I think you owe it to yourself to see it. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jennie PunterEven in a season of apocalyptic films, these facts are really, really scary. |
| The A.V. ClubScott TobiasThere are many layers to the man and the movie, and it’s hard not to leave the theater shaken. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanYou may want to dispute Ruppert, but more than that you'll want to hear him, because what he says -- right or wrong, prophecy or paranoia -- takes up residence in your mind. |
| VarietyRob NelsonUnnervingly persuasive much of the time, and merely riveting when it's not. |
| Chicago ReaderJ.R. JonesRuppert makes a compelling argument that the world is approaching a paradigm shift unlike anything in human history. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisHis well-rehearsed rhetoric is shockingly persuasive, and since the majority of his premises are verifiable, any weakness in his argument lies in inferences so terrifying that reasonable listeners may find themselves taking his advice and stocking up on organic seeds. (Those with no access to land can, postapocalypse, use them as currency.) |
| Portland OregonianShawn LevyIf any of what he says makes sense to you -- and even if it’s only a small piece, it’s terrifying -- then you’ll want to invest in gold and organic seeds and friendly relations with your nearest neighbors. You know: JUST IN CASE..... |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleA grueling peek at a doomsday prophet's rigorous mind but in a sly way also a compassionate look at the strain Ruppert endures from knowing he has only ever been right. |
| Washington PostDan KoisThink of Collapse as the anti-"2012." Not because this dour doc is any more optimistic about the future than that recent apocalyptic spectacular but because its vision of disaster is delivered not through expensive special effects but by a talking head. |
