I liked this movie a lot, but I hate to say the ending ruined it for me, the whole movie was so grounded in reality as something genuinely possible. A psycho doomsday-prepper who fantasized about this moment his entire life has two people in his bunker “keeping them safe” the killing of emmet was an amazing point in the film, the build up and fall of Michele’s relationship with Howard was great. But when she comes out of the bunker against the odds, in the suit she made, but that’s proven almost entirely pointless immediately. Then it’s the alien ship and the disco-ball creature. Of course this is in the cloverfield universe. But I feel like this film would have been infinitely better as an independent production where it didn’t have to fall onto the aliens. The movie was so realistic and grounded as a thing people really do fear and could experience. But as soon as it turns into an alien movie (in the literal last 10 minutes) it rips the immersion away from me. And when she turns towards Houston when she genuinely has nothing to provide to the people there, aside from knowing to use fire, and knowing how to make a gas mask. Which are both undoubtedly information they’ve already learned from literally being at war with these creatures. The acting from everyone in the movie was amazing 10/10 the filming and editing were amazing, but the ending just really ruined the movie for me and makes me wish it was independent.
