There are a lot of haters for this movie, mainly because of dissatisfaction with how the film ends...
And to be honest, the ending was a little open, but I don't think it mattered. You see, up until that point, I enjoyed the movie. The story didn't drag, and while it was never quite clear what 'the event' was or why it happened, I'm not sure that was essential to the film. It was more about the journey and the characters within, and their attempts to find clarity with chaos. Despite the occasional implausibility, the setup was more realistic than Hollywood's usual bombastic disaster flick, and that made for something quite refreshing. And as for the ending... well, I would have liked more, I would have liked more explanation, but its not a dealbreaker that it was, perhaps, a little underwhelming. As alluded, the journey is sometimes more important than the destination.
It rates the movie How it ends..or it gets the hose again
Kinda reminded me of Carries 2009, which is one of my favorite films. This totally doesn't deserve the bad reviews and comments it's gotten. I found it to be really good and engaging with stellar performances throughout. Never drags. [spoiler] And yeah, the "open" ending didn't bother me. Because I feel like 98% they didn't make it anyways. ☹ [/spoiler]
Damn it. It has you wondering what the hell is going on the entire film and doesn't even tell you at the end!
Slow, clunky and doesn't really go anywhere. It's an "alright" movie with a lot of promise that never really delivers. The problem is that it's too focused on the journey without ever explaining what is happening. This continues all the way until the credits, leaving the film with a shoddy ending. Don't get me wrong, it's well made - just not very exciting or worth watching.
The movie should be called: How does It Ends? Because they never explain anything!
[spoiler]With a better ending I would have definitely rated this higher.[/spoiler] And Ricki was such an interesting character! I wished for more of her.
A decent movie if you like the genre. Worth the watch for Forest Whitaker’s excellent performance, which is always to be expected of him.
Well, Theo James is still amazing, although the film itself is ridiculous...
There are a few nice scenes here and there but overall... where is the ending!? what's going on? why all this happened?
Also, they died? probably, cause the storm was getting closer to them in the end and there is no way they could get away in this old crappy car... also, they said i love you in the end like in the last moments as if the director wanted us to understand they're going to die peacfully together after reuniting...
6/10 only because of Theo, otherwise it's horrible
