Decent premise, reasonably capable actors - what could possibly go wrong? Well, let's start with preposterous out-of-character plot-twists suggested by characters to keep the thin plot from collapsing after 30 minutes.

I like a good dystopian flick, but this one relies on lazy tropes to get to the finish line.… Expand

This just falls under the so bad it's good category, but barely (hence the 2 rating). While my wife and I were entertained during certain scenes it was typically for things that weren't supposed to be entertaining. The acting was atrocious, with Forrest Whitaker looking as though someone off screen is poking him with a stick trying to force him to act. The dialog along with its complete lack of logic being laughably bad coupled with a lack of comprehension of basic physics. Unfortunately we were more bored than entertained by the flaws of this disaster of a movie and really can't recommend it to anyone.… Expand

This film is honestly in the running for the worst I've ever seen. It's filled with random apocalyptic events that are never explained and the protagonists doing stupid things. The ending is nearly devoid of any sense of closure at all. DoThis film is honestly in the running for the worst I've ever seen.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not bad at all, the pacing maynot be for everyone but overall it was a decent disaster movie focused more on people than CGI. Refreshing to have a film not end on a high not all is saved or a low note all is lost. Characters are flawed but so are real people, so all's well that ends well.… Expand

Basically just another disaster flick full of the usual cliches that you've seen in dozens of other disaster flicks -- and we are never really told what caused the disaster, though the auroras are likely a clue.

Forest Whitaker is good. TheBasically just another disaster flick full of the usual cliches that you've seen in dozens of other disaster flicks -- and we are never really told what caused the disaster, though the auroras are likely a clue.

Forest Whitaker is good. The action is lame. The story might've been something if it had gone anywhere.… Expand

This movie blends in well with other Netflix movies which are all themed more alternative in termes of narrative, plot and style.

Instead thisThis movie blends in well with other Netflix movies which are all themed more alternative in termes of narrative, plot and style. It almost seems that Netflix doesn‘t even try to produce an average from the shelves cinema movie. Instead this one keeps spinning the story around itself following two guys on a roadtrip like car ride, leading the apocalypse like scenario after questions not being answered and an open, confusing end - not really being an end - bringing up even more questions and - at the same time with nice, kind of premium looking cinematics. I agree that after watching this movie you feel kind of left alone with the ending and not being satisfied, but I wouldn‘t call it a bad movie. Coming closer to the end of the movie, some scenes can‘t be distinguished wether they have a deeper meaning or just filling up space.… Expand

Dreadful. Lousy script and acting. Zero emotional engagement. No ending. Watch anything else.

The treatment of female characters is a crash course on how to make a sexist movie thirty years ago. Apparently, the best course of action in the event of an apocalypse event is to become a backwards refugee and migrate toward the nuclear explosions (or whatever the hell the movie was about, you still don't know at the end).… Expand

Not a fake review: Netflix must think very little of it's audience if it keeps producing these glossy films posing as blockbusters.

The dialogue and plot are thin on the ground to start with and the movie is, for the most part a road movie with zero fun along the way. If only the 'skip' feature on the Netlfix app was faster, I would've skipped through the last two thirds of the film. Unfortunately it is not. Sad for the actors mostly (Whom I normally enjoy watching), but they aren't given much of anything to deliver, apart from all the cursing which I'm sure the directory insisted they use to somehow make it feel more dramatic, but only cheapened an already worthless movie. My Advice = don't bother and instead enjoy a re-viewing of "The Edge of Tomorrow" ;) - 2/10 Points for animation and effects… Expand

What a disaster of a movie, Jesus Christ, what a bunch of money out the window producing this. Just a dumb pretext to show U.S. civilians waving and shooting guns at eachother like it's "normal" to be a civilian and have a gun, like it makesWhat a disaster of a movie, Jesus Christ, what a bunch of money out the window producing this. Just a dumb pretext to show U.S. civilians waving and shooting guns at eachother like it's "normal" to be a civilian and have a gun, like it makes you more of a man. Throw in a mediocre script that seems made for a run of the mill story-driven console game, sprinkle in some earthquakes and dust/ash clouds signalling a disaster that is never explained, and done: you've got yourself a 90-minute time-waster.

Best-case, they could've condensed what little worthwhile story points there are in this into like 20-30 minutes and made a "people talking in a room" type movie that might've been decent.… Expand

When you watch a apocalyptic thriller called "How It Ends" and when the movie actually ends, you laugh hysterically and say "That's how it ends!?!" Don't waste a moment of your precious life on this thing.

Definitely a "dumped on Netflix" movie. The premise is simple and the plot is predicable. The lack of resolution and details sinks this film into the low scores its getting. Read reviews before watching Netflix Original (dumped) movies.
