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

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.

How It Ends is a mildly effective thriller with an ending that will leave some viewers frustrated.

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

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.

Great premise, good start but as often with movies like this some very odd decision making by the protagonists, law and order breaks down without obvious reasons..and the end, if you can call it that. What a let down.

This film has lots of potential, on paper, a disaster happens, but we dont know what, vharachywes appear and disappear, the same mistakes are made time and again and the ending, well it isn't an ending

Fantastic start. Great buildup. Awesome acting. And yet, WTF was it all about. Horrible story with no beginning and no end. What a waste. Why couldn't anyone decide on what the event was that caused us to watch this in first place.

Promising start, but downhill from there. Needs to be renamed "How 'did' it end?" Subtitled; "and how the hell did it start?". Just left me asking way too many questions that I don't think the writers knew the answers to either. Shame, a few tweaks and it could have been a 3.5 star.

The bulid up was perfect then it just all came crashing down at the rest of the movie do not watch it you unless you want a really bad movie night.

It was a great buildup, but the end was just a complete letdown.
