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

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 movieNot 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.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So far this is the worse movie I have seen of 2018. Nothing really happens in the movie and a character dies from a wound they received from a crash that looked like a car hitting a shopping cart. No body in this movie wears seat belts at all. I'm not sure if this movie is just a pro-seatbelt ad, but that would make more sense than telling you its a movie. None of the performances are good and the writing is terrible. The most annoying character just walks off in the night and out of the movie because they are upset. It was a very lazy way of getting rid of a character that didn't need to be in the movie. Seriously don't watch this movie. Learn from my mistake and save yourself time.… Expand

Badly acted, nothing I say explained, is it a terrorist attack, is it aliens, is it something to do with the earth. Nothing explained. It's like it's missing an hour of movie. Extremely disappointed...

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It had plot holes you could see from space knitted losely into a fabric using only clichè. It was a fractal of fail. It's like they got a focus group to mention every film they might have liked, then stole badly from every one of them. I half suspect it's a new paradigm in film making, because I can't imagine how anyone could make a film that bad by accident.… Expand

Thickening the ever growing Netflix catalog with more poor quality; How It Ends is a sci-fi thriller, confusing, convoluted and bad.
The argument is mediocre as well as the performances.

Too frustrating, not advisable.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 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...… Expand

I disliked this movie since the start as they acted lik nothing really disrupting happend. It has no real substance, the dialogues are kind of pathetic, characters are lacking personality. I don't find anything good about this movie.
