What in the alien nation did I just sit through?! I can't get those couple of hours back. I love sci-fi, but this was disappointing, to say the least. It was just too cheesy for me, especially in the end. So...are they just going to live inside the alien forever, now? Is he going to keep fighting off the tentacles? I mean, she can't just climb down or easily jump out to safety. Pretty soon the alien is going to notice something's up with him. ...And frankly, I would've kicked the "new" guy out of the group! He was annoying! I'm kind of surprised that he didn't turn out to be an alien. That probably would have fit into the movie just fine. Damn it! The guy never should have let the roof door swing shut in the beginning! It could've been a completely different movie! I blame him. Lol
  
How It Ends (2018)
How It Ends (2018)
2018 | Action, Sci-Fi
The end of the world is the only thing that would make me go on a road trip with my father-in-law!
This Netflix original film revolves around the story of a mysterious cataclysmic event on the East coast of America, and a husband trying to travel home to ensure his pregnant wife's safety. He travels with her father (who he does not get on with) as they try to drive across the country.
The film focuses on their relationship and how very different their backgrounds are, but they soon start to bond over their main shared love - his wife / his daughter.
There are some good action scenes which stick to the theme of the film - human civilisation going to pot and everyone out for himself; and strength versus apparent weakness.
The ending of the film seemed a little abrupt, and unsatisfying. Ironically, given the name of the film, my wife fell asleep so doesn't know "how it ends".
