I liked it overall although I thought some scenes felt glossed over and rushed. I didn't like the ending, especially the diner scene...
The apocalypse should have been more ambiguous. The TV coverage while horrific was also.. Kinda of empty. Felt off to me.
Enjoyed the movie (very much) & will check out the novel.
The book made me feel seen because at its core we were following the emotions and love of two gay dads and their daughter.
I felt like the adaptation regards this aspect which just made me
so sad. At the end of the movie I had more sympathy for the intruders than our main characters. And of course they cut out the cute male affection we get in the book.
This story is not about the fucking apocalypse or if it is real or not! Or at least for me it wasn’t. Why did the writers and m night shamalan change it in this way ? The ambiguous book is way better than the movie for me. I wish I never watched the adaptation since the book means so much to me.
I enjoyed the movie because it was not overly complex. I think that is where Mr Shyamalan's other movies failed because all the surprise reveal or twist just did not stick.
And I loved that Mr Shyamulan gave us definite answers. I hated the ambiguity of the book.
As to what you wished, I think you would have gotten more hate if Leonard and Redmond were conspiring the whole thing - people will say this is "woke" movie and liberal media trying to shove gay lifestyle to everyone. The comparison would be too close to reality. So, I think Mr Shyamalan did the right thing staying away from trigger some people.
As for the butterfly effect, I think that would be more like Men In Black or what Mr Shyamalan would do as a twist and I would have hated it... hahaha... I really like that he kept this movie simple. I understand the ending might not be as rewarding, but as a thriller, I had fun while watching it without thinking about the messages of the movie or the book.
Several friends have pointed out that one reading that the movie invites is that God set up a situation in which the only way the world can be saved (in the movie) is for a gay man to kill his husband. While it seems to me that other readings are possible, this doesn’t seem like the kind of message that should be sent out into the world, especially in the current political environment. (Not to mention how insensitive it is to a minority that, like many others, has endured so much violence and death to get to where they are today) I’d be very interested to read any (rational) arguments about why the couple had to be gay in the movie and the book. Thanks
