[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The multiple viewpoints of the same event were well done.

It was satisfyingly technical, which I love.

But there was no end! And I get that this is a dissection of people's reactions before the actual outcome, so the outcome is in itself not the goal of the story, but still! Very frustrating!

I felt a bit of that too, but how would you end it? As a pp pointed out upthread, if the woman who traveled from Gettysburg got to Raven Rock, they didn't call it off/it wasn't a dud. I don't think I'd have felt any better with a cgi detonation destroying Chicago, and there'd still be that "what next?" because they still don't know who did it, why, if/when/where they'll attack next.

It was good, and I probably would've watched it for another two hours, but that's just not what it was supposed to be. The end increases the tension/unease of the whole film. It starts with those eerie low tones and ends with the unknown. Psychologically destabilizing, but it doesn't feel like a gimmick.

I didn't like feeling that way, but I like the film's use of these techniques (vs. big booms and jump scares and the like)[/quote]
