studio had given up in the quality of the film and put all their effort in marketing
genius idea 2bh in ripping off fans of a previous popular film claiming theres a connection

Definitely, it's like it was just tacked on so that some element of the theme would match the franchise title.

I didn't mind the idea of it, it was just poorly executed.

Would've been better if she didn't Rambo that space ship, and just hid... and it just ended with her driving off into the sunset.

Or heck, would've been nice if she got slaughtered by the alien.

The movie was designed to piss off mainstream audiences by having random twits and turns for no reason. I think the ending executed this well, but if the main character died too it would have been the cherry on top.

the original script had a different ending, then jj abrams came in and said we need aliens

>In the original script, Michelle escapes the shelter and is chased through the farmhouse by Howard, who still wants to “protect” her. She blinds him with bathroom cleaner, he tells her about his tragic life (dead wife, missing daughter, treacherous Nate, etc.), and then she shoots him in the kneecap and runs away. He ends the movie alive, entreating Michelle to “be careful.” Later, after traveling down empty roads and finding no one around to help her, she crests a hill and sees the Chicago skyline, smoldering and destroyed. No explanation is given. We don’t even know what she will do next, only that she now knows that Howard, for all his oddity, was correct. The final line in the script is, “She slowly pulls down the mask on the hazmat suit before taking a breath.”

would've been better with the Clover

Jesus.

very smart way of making people talk about the movie. how many threads have you seen with the "whatta fuck the last minutes????" topic here?

there's literally nothing wrong with tonal shifts in cinema

Not in general, but in this film it was hella off.

the original ending was so better, it would've been a perfect movie if it wasnt for that changed ending

>>70955833
it is in this film since you can tell they changed the ending if you watched it.

Someday you're going to look back and be embarrassed that you were this much of a faggot hipster.
