Although, that wasn't quite so out of the blue as the others that have been mentioned, since the whole thing just went downhill in about the 3rd half. Still a bullshitty ending, though.
You should see the alternate ending, its even worse.........
No, Deus Ex Machina is when an unexpected solution appears out of nowhere without being hinted at beforehand. What you're talking about is just one form of Deus Ex Machina.captainwillies said:There's a name for that.

I don't like how much they changed the functions of the tripod in the movie. In the Book, they all landed in giant artillery shells, have infra-red heat rays, which are invisible to the human eyes, not shiny lasers lighting up every color of the gay spectrum. I know, they did do a good job making them fearful, but seriously, weird electro shields? That is a bit annoying...Birras said:Agreed.

the fact that the teenager survived! He was caught in a fucking explosion, and even if he survived that, he would be caught face-to-face with a giant death machine! I mean, we've established that the tripods take very few prisoners, and the few they take are likely experimented on/killed in a non-descript fashion! He should be a charred corpse, vaporized dust, a bloodless husk or a dead anal probe victim.
Hmm... heard of it but never looked into it.captainwillies said:There's a name for that. Dues Ex Machina.Mackinator said:Anything where the ending involves the character waking up and it being all a dream.
Read the book; it makes a lot more sense (though there still is some significant ????????!!!).Pseudonym2 said:2001
????????!!!
I heard Angels and Demons was worse than that (if you read the book, which I did, and liked it)pimppeter2 said:You should put what movie it is on the outside
All I have to say is, Ohh come on... Really....Thats gay
Both books = shitG1eet said:I heard Angels and Demons was worse than that (if you read the book, which I did, and liked it)pimppeter2 said:You should put what movie it is on the outside

<spoiler=wow> the 4th cardinal survives, langdon never has the epic fight scene with the assassin, meaning he doesn't die either. the camerlengo goes up in the helicopter with the antimatter, but langdon doesn't go with him and jump out at the last second. and there's no dr. kohler, sorry.
u beat me to it ... i kinda liked the ending though .. refreshing change from your everyday happy skip around we're all going to be ok crap XDsteeltrain said:The Mist
Spolier (durh)
The dude kills his son and the other people in the car with him. Then he runs out of the car screaming for the monstors to come kill him. 2 seconds later, the army rolls in to save the day, making his mercy killing pointless.
The book was open ended! Why not the movie?!
Snowy437 said:Worst Possible Ending By far: Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skulls
It marks the Fall of that great series.
For a couple reasons.
1. Aliens have no part in a dam indiana jones movie. Why would they even think to do that. and also.. no face melting?! did they really have to clean it up to make it family friendly?
2. The ending at the wedding. Indy's hat is on the ground. and his son (Shia Labeouf) starts to pick it up.. and everyone is thinkin that: "Oh no Indy's kid is gonna take over where he left off"
one word Spielberg and especially George Lucas (i blame him for the aliens)
......no... No..........NO..... Horrible dam idea. I mean i like Labeouf, cuz hes great in TF1 and TF2. but When Harrison Ford Gives up being Indy. You stop makin those movies. Only harrison ford can be indy.....
I couldnt even begin to even think of a worse ending for a movie than that.
I really didn't like the movie but...Zombie_Fish said:This has probaly been said before but Indiana Jones Crystal Skull.
Turns out it was aliens. Why? Did they run out of myths to rip off?
Well...bernthalbob616 said:That, and why the fuck did the Tripods start breaking down? Well, ok, I know why but...Birras said:Agreed. Also, an additional thing that made me angry in the ending of the 2006 version isCurtmiester said:Anyone see the ending to War of the Worlds? If not, don't.

it's an enormous plot-hole! The aliens develop machines that shoot disintegration rays and nearly take over the earth, but they can't make protective suits? WTF is up with that?
