So disappointed. It was entertaining each episode until the ending. What a terrible ending to season 1. We watch all of that and get invested because it's all so cool...until the ending! Why do that to an audience! So Jade had the opportunity to shoot Billie at the end and there's all this suspense and Jade makes the dumbest decision to not shoot her sister after everything that her sister did to her, why would you have Jade give up so easily and give in to her sister? All of of that action in that last episode, all to stop and end Billie, and then you like erase all of it basically and bring it all back to a simple face off where Jade makes the dumbest decision possible and chooses not to shoot her sister who is literally just as bad as Evelyn if not worse, which she even outright proves how evil and heartless she is multiple times as the adult version of Billie...that ending literally erased all the respect I had for the show, I thought it was such a cool show until that ending. Terrible writing.

I didn't hate this movie. It sure was a strange ending and because I enjoyed movies like "Tremors" and what I know Thomas Jane best from "Dreamcatchers" I was really enjoying this movie in general as a favorite pastime genre I used to enjoy. So I tried not to judge the ending, as confused as it left me. I just wondered why that ending and tried to keep an open mind about it. I also thought, yeah that's life sometimes, but I also thought well the issue was also that the military never warned anyone they passed in the beginning to let the town people know what they were doing so that the town people could have something to hope for...I was making up excuses to be okay with the ending. And it still left me searching for "why that ending?" on google. So I learned from watching interviews and the making of the movie that this was made in 2007...was there not much to fear in 2007? I don't know what the world was like in 2007 because I was going through my own personal trauma but maybe in 2007 who could have predicted the downfall of mankind this quickly?...with pandemic, and then ongoing housing crisis, war, climate change, monkeypox, gun violence, etc...it's a really dreary time right now and this is not the type of ending many of us could use right now but considering it was made in 2007, it was a different time. It was nice to be watching a movie that was just weird (in a good way) with all of the creatures, even though I was not a fan of the ending...more movies like this please with a more hopeful and happy ending would be lovely 😉
