Quartile rating: 5/10 · 1 rating
On Quartile, How It Ends scores 5/10 across five categories — strongest on Cinematography (Above Average), weakest on Ending (Well Below Average).
A desperate father tries to return home to his pregnant wife after a mysterious apocalyptic event turns everything to chaos.
How It Ends features a fairly generic road-trip-through-the-apocalypse premise that never pays off. The plot meanders without meaningful development and the mysterious catastrophe is never explained, which frustrates rather than intrigues. Acting is serviceable but flat, with characters lacking depth. Cinematography has some decent landscape shots during the chaos sequences. The ending is widely considered one of its biggest failures — it simply stops without resolution, leaving viewers with no payoff or answers, earning a genuine 1.
