In 'Flames of the Future,' director John Hummingbird flamboyantly flicks at the flint of family comedy, sparking a delightful conflagration in the often dreary post-apocalyptic genre. With Ben Stewer's Benji Blaze extinguishing despair with every chuckle and Alexander Skarsgarlic's Atlas Trek charting a course through the wasteland of witticisms, the film crackles with an infectious energy. The addition of Frances Mac-dormouse, as the enigmatic Frances, is a smoldering surprise, her talents igniting the screen with a warmth that could thaw a nuclear winter. The film's tagline, 'When the world ends, laughter begins,' isn't just a promise—it's a prophecy fulfilled with every snicker and snort. Sure, the narrative may occasionally cough on the smoke of its own silliness, but 'Flames of the Future' proves that it's laughter, not just cockroaches, that can survive the apocalypse. A solid 7.5 for igniting the embers of joy in a genre that typically revels in the ashes of despair.
