I agree that it's not really believable and kinda weird but How It Ends is delightful view of the end of the world without so much tragedy. Zoe Lister Jones and Cailee Spaeney are superb together! So many of the characters/ scenes are super weird and a little uncomfortable somehow really enjoyable though. Has some glow and charm that makes it more likable!

Is this a 'realistic' film about the end of the world. Absolutely NOT. What a fun film about the a disastrous topic - and a walk about around LA without many people or cars! It's the end of the world coming up and we meet people and how they are going to handle it. The vehicle is a woman who has an avatar (of sorts) of her younger self who keeps her in line. Is it fun? No. Is it interesting? Absolutely. It's funny at times, because we, as humans, find humor in every moment. If you can suspend your normal thinking and "go with the flow', you'll enjoy this walk around LA. If you can't - don't watch it (and complain about it later).

Dumbed down version of a plot that has been around forever. The artificial quirkiness is a cringeworthy crutch. 2/10 is generous.

Mildly annoying conversations and awkwardness. Then it's over.

When all life is about to end, and earth itself is about to cease to exist... You're left with nothing but yourself, and all the unfinished business you'll need to deal with so you could die in peace. The movie was very minimalistic due to pandemic restrictions, but that just added to the general aesthetic of loneliness and the idea that it's all about to end. The streets of LA being so empty and calm was chilling, and definitely played in the movie's favor. The brilliance in this movie really is stemmed in how they execute self-reflection. I can hardly say anything about it without spoiling the movie, but it really does elevate the movie as a whole, and makes it all the more interesting. The star-studded movie is just unique all around. Of all the movies that are centered around the idea of the apocalypse, this one has touched me the most. Kudos to all the cast and crew, thanks you.

SXSW 2021 Greetings again from the darkness. We get glimpses of the meteor that's speeding on a collision course with Earth, but no character ever points it out. In fact, most emit a chill vibe that corresponds to that of the film. The only exception is Liza. Played by Zoe Lister-Jones, Liza simply wants to get trashed and let the world end overnight ... well after she finishes off her morning pancakes (at least a dozen) and glass of wine. Liza's only problem is Young Liza (Cailee Spaeny), her metaphysical younger self who pressures Liza to attend the Apocalypse Party being thrown by Mandy (Whitney Cummings). In addition to attending the party, Young Liza persuades Liza to spend the day confronting her regrets. This includes meeting up separately with her divorced parents (Brad Whitford and Helen Hunt), as well as a former best friend (Olivia Wilde), and past boyfriends, including her one true love (Logan Marshall-Green). In fact, this trip down Regret Road provides a steady stream of stereotypical California flakes. This means none of the soul-searching ever goes very deep, but playing spot-the-funny-person is a win-win. None of the interactions seem to last more than 2-4 minutes, but it's a blast seeing how many familiar faces pop up during Liza and Young Liza's day of walking. I won't name the others here so that you can enjoy each moment - some more than others. The film is co-written and co-directed by Zoe Lister-Jones and Daryl Wein, and it's one of the more entertaining 'pandemic' films so far. For me, the constant roll of quick vignettes never got old, but you should know that as good as the performances are from Lister-Jones and Spaeny, the soul-searching and self-discovery only skims the surface. Still, a chill End of the World party seems perfect, even if a 1980's relic agreed to be a punchline.

Stupiest movie I've ever watched. What was the point ?

Instead of enduring one day with that kind of people we are introduced to and meet in this little flick, I would shoot myself pronto - why waste time? It would be an act of grace and I would spare myself 24 terrible hours. How It Ends does not belong to the list of worst movies I ever watched (production, acting is solid) but it is for sure one of the most boring ones ever. Recommended for everyone who want to watch how so called creative people orbit around the one thing they only know well - their ego (they of course call it individuality). Last note: if the premise sounds interesting to you, try These Final Hours (2013), it's a way more interesting, entertaining and deeper movie.

I really wanted to like this movie. It could have been really good but I didn't think that the main character had enough substance to carry the plot in an interesting way. I would have rather watched any of the side character's stories. It wasn't unwatchable or bad, it was just nothing special. The writer and director could have really said something about some big themes like regret and facing our mortality. But instead we got awkward, clunky dialog and a protagonist who I didn't care about or feel invested in.
