The movie was boring as hell, but the ending was just terrible.

That's because they ran out of money. It was so over budget they had to just end it.

You've got to see the Director's Cut. It makes a lot more sense.

in that same line, VANILLA SKY

hey, let's make this really intriguing and funky movie, and then at the end, throw a change-up pitch that nobody expects... so we're zipping by this movie, anxiously waiting for all the pieces to come together to stun us with the ending...suddenly this Life Extension cr8p comes in and tries to explain for everything? stupid

I hated the ending to A Perfect Storm...it would have been so much nicer if everyone hadn't of died...but oh well. Lamest ending for me goes to Stephen King's IT....the spider thing just didn't do it for me. Maybe the whole movie sucks, I wouldn't know because I haven't watched it since I was like 8...but even then I realized the ending totally blew.

A little note for Queasy: Just because the word "like" was in the first line, doesn't make it a metaphor... ;)

Movies based on actual events are usually constrained by what actiually happened. ;)

We got bored and walked out when the aliens showed up. AI = teh gay
