Review of The Endless (2017) by Metooo — 11 Oct 2018
No Spoilers-- I'm a film buff and I love complex, intelligently scripted cinema. This is not that. It's an interesting concept, but one that will likely fall flat with most viewers. The concept is intriguing, but not very fleshed out. The character development is quite thin, and most of the scenes are boring. It's very similar in execution to Looper, in that it thinks it's a smarter movie than it really is. I really do not recommend the time to watch this, unless if you're watching it by yourself and curious (it's on Netflix), or you were a fan of Looper. I imagine all the top reviews are from people who enjoyed that film, but, and I stress, this is a very nice group of viewers that you are probably not a part of.
A great alternative: Annihilation with Natalie Portman. Also on Netflix! Or if you want something "genre defying", try Upgrade. Both are cerebral and very entertaining, neither of which are qualities I would give The Endless.
