Honest Option: Read it all to understand
I honestly donโt know how I feel about this movie. In some ways it was amazing and in others it really lacked in. One thing Iโll have to say is that there are some plot holes, like, in the end they never explained why the kids were spontaneously combusting and they honestly never really tried to figure it out. All of the kids were to scared yet they continued to party and act like nothing was happening when all of their friends and classmates was dying around them. The only people that was actually doing something was the doctor and she didnโt do much either.
I wish that the students had pieced together what was happening and why because I noticed many connections to them blowing up.
1.) All of them were in a crowd or around people during the type of combusting
2.) All of them were feeling hyper/hyped up or an extreme amount of emotions (except the first girl)
3.) They were all around the main character during the time of their death (this doesnโt mean that the main character is the cause but it is something to consider. Especially the last two deaths โ her boyfriend specifically)
4.) They were all seniors and from the same high school (obviously)
Those are some of the things that Iโve noticed that I wish others had noticed as well. None of the students had died while they were by themselves which I suspect is also because they werenโt feeling intense emotions. When you are by yourself you are more docile and not as likely to get worked up over things.
Although Iโve listed some bad things about the movie, I will now list some good things as well.
The first thing Iโll start off with is that the main character is funny and doesnโt have a care in the world. I know that this will bother some people but for me, if I were in the same situation as them, it would be a breather. Knowing that someone can still feel happiness during a time of suffering and despair is not something that everyone can do so easily and itโs amazing that she could.
Secondly, although the plot had holes in it, it was a good plot and if the holes were fixed when it would be an amazing movie.
Thirdly, despite the deaths, the movie was slightly lighthearted. You got to see the connections between the main character, her friends and her boyfriend and I feel like that had some affect on how the story played out and the feelings it gave you throughout.
I guess thatโs really all I have to say about the movie. I may not have put to many good reasons why the movie is worth watching but it really is a good film that needs a little bit of work. I definitely recommend watching but you may not like the ending as it doesnโt explain the reason of the spontaneous combusting. If it had added that then I think I would have thoroughly enjoyed the movie even more than I did.
