How It Ends

Wow just a collection of quirky people this woman finds while walking the streets of Los Angeles. That's it. Most of them were dull and uninteresting with equally dull and boring conversations...

Before I watched the film. It may have meant I missed a hidden gem. How people can say this is boring, or formulaic or "just a series of conversations" (that's what life is for goodness sake!) is beyond me. It isn't sci-fi or a ripping comedy and it isnt meant to be. It is a parable, a heartfelt and meaningful story full of wit and wisdom and excellent performances from the leads. It isn't perfect but it is still so much better than a lot of the mainstream rubbish out there. Give me this over a DC or Marvel bore fest any day. It may not be everyone's cup of tea but if you have a heart, emotional intelligence and can live without three hours of mindless noise then please ignore the bad reviews, watch it and make your own mind up. Most of you will be more than pleased that you did.

Dumbed down version of a plot that has been around forever.

The artificial quirkiness is a cringeworthy crutch.

2/10 is generous.

If you're looking for a movie to have on in the background while you're multitasking on something else I still wouldn't recommend this. If you come across a review with glowing praise then it's probably from a pretentious soul that cuts and eats a candy bar with a fork and knife.

I agree that it's not really believable and kinda weird but How It Ends is delightful view of the end of the world without so much tragedy. Zoe Lister Jones and Cailee Spaeney are superb together! So many of the characters/ scenes are super weird and a little uncomfortable somehow really enjoyable though. Has some glow and charm that makes it more likable!
