I didn't find the movie ending very believable

[Mr Nobody]

Well, all I can say is, if I was ever in that position, I'd make it quick. And let's not forget they'd had a lengthy old trip before the fuel ran out. I guess you'd get to thinking 'If it's not lifted by now, maybe it never will...and even then, maybe the creatures will be left behind.'
Given some of the themes in the film (and book), it's my belief that he HAD to do what he did as the price of the mist lifting and his own survival.
In any case, I also got the idea that they'd sat there for a time once they conked out.

Hmmm... the endoing had a major twist an di liked it for that reason but i dont quite think they were at the point where had to shoot ur own son ... i mean that would ahve to be last resort right.. I can see maybe the son was grabbed by one of ht emonsters and instead of aving ur son suffer through that u shoot him. But they were in their car .. maybe the creatures wouldnt bother to try and get them if they stayed quiet enough .. IDK i jus think they werent down to the point to where it was a one shot life or death situation.?>?>?>?>

I for one actually liked the ending of the movie more than the ending in the book. I actually said out loud at the end of the movie "WOW!" I didn't come close to seeing it coming.

For those that don't like it because you don't think they were at a point of desperation or a certain degree of desperation, it's hard to judge in the movie exactly how much time has passed. How far does than tank of gas get them? It could have been a few hours or more than a day, it's an unknown.

I will say it was one of the better SK movies and one of the better movies I have seen recently. I have noticed over the last few years that movies that have fewer BIG name stars seem to be better than the big blockbusters with a bunch of high priced household names.

SPOILER ALERT.





You know, I think I remember HEARING the military coming, even as they waited in the vehicle. A lot of the sounds were not of the monsters but of the military (choppers, tanks, etc), and those that were of the monsters were cries of pain as the military exterminated them. So, technically, they didn't just come out of no where. Unfortunately, in their desperation to get out of the nightmare, they ended their lives seconds before rescue arrived.

This is by far my favorite short story of Mr. King's and I was so looking forward to the movie. Enjoyed the movie until the ending and then it was like someone let the air out of my balloon...major disappointment.

As someone said...the orginal ending was full of hope and promise...this ending made no sense to me whatever...and sadly..I will never watch the movie again.

I did not loved this movie, I hated it!

In this movie, every nice character will die. It is like an eradication, there is no possibility to be saved, and I am sorry but when it is so much visible, it becames stupid.

I hate the end, I hate every deaths in this movie.

But the effects where amazing.

Now I am waiting for a Lovecraft movie with gigantic monsters!
