A 12 year old boy grows up in an American neighbourhood with dreams of becoming an artist. His father does not approve but he finds solace in the encouraging words of his grandfather and the friendship with his classmate keeps him happy. As time moves on in his life's journey the good, bad and indifferent experiences continue to educate and fascinate him.

Featuring a tremendous cast that includes Sir Anthony Hopkins, Anne Hathaway and Jeremy Strong and Jessica Chastain (albeit more of a cameo), I actually think Banks Repeta and Jaylin Webb steal the show with their on screen friendship. Though it’s central themes repeatedly touch on race, class, privilege and the pursuit of the American dream, it never really feels like it’s exploring these topics in a deep or meaningful way. As a result, when the credits rolled I felt a bit underwhelmed. Even still, Armageddon Time was enjoyable as a slice of life / coming of age drama, just not the harder hitting drama I was kind of expecting.
