what the F was that ending??

Yeah it was dumb how casual they were about being floated into space by god knows who.

I like to think that whatever took them, immediately started experimenting on them, including a whole bunch of butt stuff. That's a fitting end for these characters.

I was also very disappointed by the ending (or rather lack thereof).

I can sort of understand the whole movie as an analogy, a depiction of "the lost generation". People between approx. 25 and 40 today are in the same situation as the characters in the movie. As in they don't really know what they should do in the world, how they should behave, or should they have a baby, only to have that person die in the prime of their lives in 30-40 years due to climate change... All these doubts and insecurities were portrayed in the film somewhat completely.

So if we accept the above, then the ending says basically the following: "ehh, we don't know". As in no one knows what we should do with our lives, no one knows what is going to happen in 30-40 years... so we are floating in space and don't know what's going on.

I can somewhat understand what they were going for, but this should have been a socio-documentary or something, involving real 25-40 year olds, and not a plot of an alien invasion film. An alien invasion film needs a proper ending and proper ending this was not... It was unacceptable and outrageous that we did not learn the exact fate of the characters.

I voiced the same concern about the movie Boss Level. That movie also lacked the ending, so this seems to be a trend nowadays - and I don't like it.

And no, I don't call this a "trend" based on two movies. I'd also add The Vast of Night, that movie also did not have an ending. OK, maybe half and ending, but that also was not satisfying in any way.
