Review of How It Ends (2018) by Steveholme — 18 Jul 2018

Well, I rarely dislike movies without proper explanation or put my personal tastes aside in order to give a more objective view. But man, I feel somewhat scammed for my time.

First, the movie starts pretty good, albeit a bit too American-stereotypical. Then "something" happens and the regular apocalypse setup starts. But after a few minutes, it gets super dull - and that is being repeated several times from then...

I sum up the whole middle part: Driving, driving, driving. For some reason the protagonist stop their car for every random person on the side of the now deserted road. Protagonist then get ambushed by said Hillbillies, thy fight for gasoline. Rinse and repeat. I kid you not. Me and my family could nothing but sigh about the fourth time they stop and getting held at gunpoint just for that stupidity of the driver.

Then, in the end, all out of all the peope of Seattle, the main protagonists pregnant girlfriend survived, while all the people seem to be dead. Of such a metropolis??

And suddenly, the movie ends.

Sounds a bit short? It is. I feel cheated for my and my families' time...
