ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

The Couchpotatoes First of all The Endless is not a horror movie so it's not necessary to put it in that genre, something that happens all the time on IMDb and that I quite honestly hate. It's fantasy and sci-fi and that's it. The good things about this movie is the idea of the story, it's intriguing and full of mystery, and the acting was not bad either. The bad thing is that I thought the story was just not elaborated enough, you'll be stuck with unanswered questions and that's never pleasant. It's not that I had to endure this movie, not at all, but it could have been much better. It's a low budget and that shows, with mediocre visual effects. To me it's a missed opportunity to bring a good movie with a mysterious story. But everybody is entitled to his opinion.

Xanthias Interesting idea very poorly executed.Comes across as a school project and rings all the wrong bells - plunky plunky miserable music when none is needed, wooden actors with wooden characters, softer focus and lens flare (all the bloody time) and dialogue delivered like hostages reading their ransom note.The story, or should I say the idea of the story, is very good. Too good to be wasted on this execution.

westsideschl On a positive rating note the raw idea of spending eternity in a time loop is an interesting plot premise. On many negative notes it is worth two to four stars. 1. Time loops are impossible because they require going back in time - a no-no, but fun to talk (make films) about. Not explained was how they took place; did they effect each person differently; at what age do they come back as; long long do they last; ways of ending it had contradictory outcomes. 2. Cheap special effects of CGI force field bubbles; three moons in the sky; pulling on a rope seemingly stretching out into wherever. First, overused; second, makes no sense; third, still another mystery creator is a film no show; fourth, the reliance on old tech film rolls capable of running backward makes no sense as a visual or causal explanation. 3. Dialogue in trying to be philosophical was all over the place, sort of institutional patient illogical. 2' by 2' chalk blackboard w/single equation as an explanatory hook - nope! 4. Not much of what you could label as acting took place. 5. Another open ended (meaning they couldn't figure out an ending that makes sense) thus our car running w/no gas suggests ...

justice_for_allro First of all, I need to mention that I'm familiar with the earlier films of Benson & Moorhead. Basically, I think it's a pre/sequel to "Resolution". Needless to say, that I would have preferred to see this first and then the loop inside Resolution, it would have explained the framework better (but I will rewatch Resolution asap).Back to "The Endless" ... I find it fascinating, both in terms of the script & direction and also in terms of visuals and sound. This is actually a great accomplishment considering the fact that it's a low budget independent film, like the other two movies they directed. Although the plot may not sound so exciting and original at first, rest assured that it is. Also, the many subtle symbolic references to today's "unauthentic" society add a lot to the general impression. It deals also with the decision of living a secure but repetitive life instead of a risky but free one.It's hard to review it properly without giving too much of the plot away, or includ minor spoilers.Highly recommended to people who love independent, anti mainstream movies.
