How It Ends

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.

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

Man loses girl. Man looks for girl, then.......actually I can't be bothered. I would finish this review but I'm doing what the movie did. Stop abruptly with no ending.

It seems like almost every Netflix movie is made with a sequel in mind these days, and this semi-apocalyptic drama is no different. Although the sudden breakdown of power and the subsequent abrupt - and frightening - collapse of law and order are fascinating to watch, How it Ends provides no reasons at all for what has taken place.

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.
