If anything it generates more questions and provides no answers, all as the film is preparing to close. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

You won't beg for the two hours of your life back after watching this film. It had it's moments. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

Felipe Q @ParaGustosColores 4 hrs ago En el final de todo, el aire de desesperanza es tan denso que te atrapa y te obliga a ver hasta el final. Las sólidas interpretaciones harán, por un momento, que desees ayudar a los personajes en su viaje. See more Seppe N @RT83109684 Aug 17, 2026 Who the fuck thought this was a good idea to make and release See more Paul S @PManRager Aug 11, 2026 It was a little underwhelming for an apocalypse story, but overall, it was incredibly intriguing with an intense story, full of plenty of suspenseful moments to leave you hooked. I definitely recommend this for action, thriller, and drama fans! See more Tyler S @peepingthomas Aug 2, 2026 Good at points, ending sucked See more Casey F @RT08494569 Jul 14, 2026 Some parts had good acting but the story was abysmal and convoluted. Better off not starting it See more George Stephen Y @right1 Jul 10, 2026 I’ve seen movies over my lifetime that had bad story lines, bad acting, bad endings BUT … THIS THING… take the entire cake. What really blows my mind is how Theo and Forest starred in this worthless wonder that stole 2 hours of my life I’ll never get back. Boooooo,,, doesn’t even begin to express the disappointment. The.Worst."Movie".Ever. I’m actually laughing now cause the title "How It Ends" is the biggest cliche EVER … there is no ending. Don’t worry… in this case a spoiler alert is 101% needed. All i could do is scream at the TV "F.U. Theo James". See more Read all reviews
