Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com You're better off not even beginning. Rated: 1/4 Jul 13, 2018 Full Review Nyle Coleman InSession Film If anything it generates more questions and provides no answers, all as the film is preparing to close. Rated: D May 9, 2024 Full Review Charlie Ceates Cultured Vultures How It Ends is truly unique in the fact that it's the only disaster or post apocalypse film to leave me bored. The cinematic version of watching paint dry. Rated: 2/10 Oct 29, 2019 Full Review Amanda Sink The Hollywood Outsider How It Ends is a mildly effective thriller with an ending that will leave some viewers frustrated. Rated: 5/10 Jan 9, 2019 Full Review Chauncey K. Robinson The Twisted Girl Next Door You won't beg for the two hours of your life back after watching this film. It had it's moments. Oct 11, 2018 Full Review Josh Martin Film Inquiry Even with a good hook, How It Ends suffers from a lack of vision, which is exactly what you don't need in an effects-heavy disaster movie.

Charles S Ironically, for a movie titled “How it Ends” it is the only movie I’ve ever watched that I have no idea how it ends. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/02/25 Full Review Rohan A Will not recommend, not even a bit if beging honest. The storyline is below average and the ending is just okay-ish. The whole movie is just a bug Question where we dont have any answers. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/22/25 Full Review Alexander M The entire time I had no clue what was going on. Not because I can't comprehend storylines- but because this movie didn't have one. There were so many questions that arose that were never answered, many setups that just were solved too easily, and the ending literally seemed like the director didn't yell "cut" soon enough. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/25/25 Full Review Michael M This Aussie enjoyed the mystery and the road trip in "How It Ends". It's been almost 7 years and no sequel imminent - shame. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/16/25 Full Review Mor H The movie is the real disaster here Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/11/25 Full Review Mark B Is it a disaster movie, is it a post apocalyptic film? Is it alien invasion? Maybe it is a film with no answers a film that really does not say anything. Y the end you say “really this is how it ends?” Who cares. A film that will bore the snot out of you. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/25 Full Review Read all reviews
