Question about the ending
Can anyone explain the ending to me?
shareDepends on which part of the ending you're talking about.
Spoiler:
Overall, the whole point was to find a person from each planet to represent their species in a fight.. Like a galactic mortal kombat.. The crutch dude won for earth, so at the end, he's put up against at least one (that we see) opponent from another world. It's just a cool take on aliens/abduction, and I thought it was cool.
Spoiler:
Also, the second match rules changed. I can't remember specifically what the second one was, but basically it said you can't touch a certain part of the sky.. so the rules adapted for the creature who could fly. In the human race, the rules were a version for a race, and had elements to make the match even, which is why I think they wrote it the way they did, with the one-legged guy winning.. It's metaphoric in a sense that you'd assume (besides the old man), that he would be the first to go, yet he won.. So the grass, going the wrong way, being lapped, all things that the players could take advantage of, were the willing to "do whatever it takes to fight for life" (or whatever the voice said..)
They did a great job with the budget. I was very surprised at how much I enjoyed it.
It was a cool movie all in all.
But if they do a sequel I don't think a human is beating that flying creature or anything from any other race.
That was my main concern. I liked his character alot but I couldn't see how he could possibly win the next round. That flying thing looked crazy.
shareI think that was a point, the message being ha, ha, we human's think we're the only intelligent life in the universe, but there's not, and even our best can't stack up against them.
shareSo you are saying is that one legged man at the end of his strength without any knowledge about enemy what so ever is "our best"... And with rules that if you basically touch the ground you die and with this going against flying enemy? OK ... I say most unfair aliens ever
