Endless

This is a very romantic story that transcends boundaries and limits. I think it is engaging. I feel the characters' joy and pain.

Riley and Chris are two high school graduates madly in love, but a tragic car accident separates them. She blames herself for the untimely death of her boyfriend while he remains stuck in limbo. Miraculously, the two find a way to reconnect. The movie is badly written, has a weak characters' development and a simple and been done to death plot. It's simply a bad but mostly entertaining movie.

Rating: 5.

Just a little cautious cry to all of you that have just lost someone dear or close. dont watch this one unattended . because its so extremely emotional, and might give you the urges. because its a film of loss, its a film about the 5 phases of crises-management, and it has the ability to make you believe that the ghost are really there, and combined with a heartbreaking kind of score it will open the floodgates of tears, even from the grumpy old ones.

its like the hydra, it pops out a new head from time to time, and ''endless'' is like a rip off of ''ghost'' and ''always'' that really popularized the topic of is there a life after death. these films did make a big impression on me then in the early 90's and still does, maybe thats because im so darn in love with my then girlfriend , now wife.

but as a ripof the story aint good enough, the choice of actors and score are dead on target though, but its far too much sorrow that tucks you into a darkness that you wont feel comfortable with. .the filmography and choice of locations are well done but as a worthy flick of surviving the crisis it aint.

so if you love the metaphysical , wannabelieve parapsychological topics that arises in the film, then have a go, a lovestory of death it is, even though built on the clichees of the past, its a small recommend from the grumpy old man

Endless is a new romantic drama directed by Scott Speer, the director of I Still See You and Midnight Sun.

The film is about the couple Riley (Alexandra Shipp) and Chris (Nicholas Hamilton). Both have just graduated from high school. Riley can continue studying at university, but Chris thinks she should opt for a more creative education. When the two end up in a tragic car accident, Chris is killed. Riley blames himself for his death and ends up in depression. However, Chris is stuck in a world between life and death and thus manages to make contact with Riley. At first, Riley thinks she's going crazy, but when Chris manages to prove that he was able to connect with her as a ghost, the two begin to believe that the bond of true lovers transcends life and death.

This movie can be fun for young teens, but for an older audience it can quickly become predictable. In terms of story, this film is very similar to the 1990 film Ghost. Scott Speer also played with the concept of an afterlife scenario in his film I Still See You, but chose to make more of a horror film. With this film he really seems to play more into the drama aspect of an afterlife scenario, but now with a familiar and somewhat standard story. The script of this film is therefore written by beginning script writers.

Thanks to the default script, the cast doesn't have much to work with either. Alexandra Shipp and Nicholas Hamilton come across well as a teenage couple. When death separates their characters, their mutual bond weakens in the film. Catherine Lough Haggquist and Famke Janssen do good acting as the mothers of the two teens, but both have done better acting in their other films.

I really wanted to like this as I'm a huge fan of epic romance/drama movies. However this came up pretty short for me and a bit of a disappointment. I feel like this could have been so much better and had potential but just didn't deliver. Alexandra Shipp's acting was well done but I didn't get a sense of chemistry between her and the male actor ( forgot name). The story could have been stronger and more emotional if there was any chemistry between the two as I mentioned but unfortunately it felt forced. I've only watched this one time and so many aspects of the movie were just forgettable, it just doesn't stick out to me and I honestly doubt I would watch it again. Over all it was just ok & decent I guess but didn't suffice as a strong love story.
