Hated the ending. But the climax is awesome.


There are a few posts here saying they hated the ending. They don't mention the ending they mention the superb climax with the aliens and stuff.

It's that lame cross roads thing that left me with a sour taste.

Please...

the climax was Michelle escaping the bunker.

What's wrong with the crossroads ending?

Yeah I have to admit I have trouble understanding people who were OK with the aliens but hated the crossroads

The crossroads ties it all together, start to finish, as Michelle's character growth story, from someone who flees her problems (her boyfriend, the burned lady, Howard, the aliens) to someone who stands up to bullies and fights for others (the way she couldn't do against the abusive dad).

In my view, the crossroads is a justification for the aliens, if anything.

In all honesty, though, I have to admit to being one of the pro-aliens people. I figure that, while the movie was deliberately vague about what, exactly, was going on outside, it was relatively clear that SOME thing was going on out there.
