How It Ends

This film had potential and if you're looking to kill time, it's quite alright - a good amount of suspense throughout the film. But like basically every other review here, the film it cuts to the credits without really explaining anything. If you're looking into sci-fi apocalyptic movies and don't care for the plot, this is the right one. If you're looking for movies that have poor character development and a rather cliché ''world is ending run into the danger to save the loved one'' plot, then this is for you.

C'mon guys, where is the ending... we got 2/3rds of a movie.

For a film named how it ends, it unfortunately is missing an ending

The big problem with this movie is the writing. Almost ALL the characters including the mains behave illogically. The spacing of all the people and population is illogical. It's just not written very well but of course they had to try to cram in a fairly long road trip, Chicago to Seattle, into the less than 2 hours. It wasn't just that good. 4/10.

An interesting take on the disaster road trip genre that is full of suspense all the way through, and interspersed with beautiful scenery shots. It was nice to see some age-old movie tropes being cast aside, even subtly mocked (I'm referring to the campfire conversation). The ending makes total sense if viewed from the perspective of the characters and from the title (if you give it just a little thought). Very refreshing.

Meta: I see a lot of rage-voting took place. That's from viewers who apparently enjoyed the movie enough to watch it until the end credits, yet let their disappointment in a perfectly fine ending overshadow the rest of their experience.
