How It Ends

What starts off feeling like a low-budget drama, How It Ends evolves into a stylistic sci-fi film with some really nice special effects that show off the feature-lengths estimated $20M budget. But the movie is not without its flaws.

Not original but generally entertaining. -- DrNostromo.com
