I think it should have had a much darker ending


I think the ending wussed out a little. The movie would have had a much larger impact if they went full melt down. The title of the movie is China Syndrome, so let's have one. You could explain all the safety failures leading to it from the crew screwing around trying to rewire the system to work around the control room Jack took control of. Also the story went through all the trouble to show there was a problem with the pipes Jack was so concerned about. So when they deliberately tripped the turbine have the pipes completely unzip and spill all the water, expose the core, AND KILL EVERYBODY.

People would have walked out the theatre at the end completely shocked. It would have been awesome.

AND KILL EVERYBODY


That's how all movies should end.
Everyone dies.
No ... one ... survives.
