The Filmmakers Have Forgotten to Include An Ending

I saw the new movie The Forgotten last night. I can honestly say it was the worst movie experience I have ever had.

I thought long and hard on how to phrase that. It wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen. In fact, it was half-decent for 7/8 of the movie. But this movie has the worst, most annoying, most aggravating ending of all time.

Now, before I continue, if you are planning to see this movie, which you shouldn't, do not read what is contained between the asterisks. I am trying to save everyone out there $9+ dollars, but if you don't trust my judgement, do not read it. But don't say you weren't warned. You will walk out of the theater angry.

WARNING - TERRIBLE MOVIE SPOILER

Funny choice of words, spoiler. It sort of suggests something will be lost if you read ahead. It's actually the opposite. The only thing you will lose is money, going to see this piece of shit film.

Ok, so if you haven't seen the trailers or commercials, this lady's (Julianne Moore) kid died a year ago in a plane crash. Then one day, all evidence of her son even existing is gone. No photos, no newspaper clippings about the crash, even her husband doesn't remember.

She eventually finds another guy who's daughter dies in the same crash, and eventually gets him to remember, too.

Then the NSA starts chasing them, people start getting sucked into the sky, and there is this one guy who kind of looks like the T-1000 from Terminator 2 that got hit by a car, shot, and thrown out of a window but never gets hurt.

Blah blah blah, eventually the lady gets the T-1000 in a warehouse, where the guy tells her they have her son, and he was taken as an "experiment" to see if the bond between a mother and its children could be broken, and she was the only one who they could not make forget. The guy tries to make her forget, but she doesn't. He gets sucked away.

Literally cut to the next scene, she walks into a park near her house, and there is her son, and the guy with her throughout most of the movie who's daughter was gone is there too, and asks if they'd met before.

The end.

THERE'S NO ENDING!!!! NOTHING IS EXPLAINED!!!!! YOU SPEND 2 HOURS GETTING INVOLVED, WANTING TO FIND OUT WHY PEOPLE ARE BEING SUCKED INTO THE AIR, WHO IS BEHIND IT, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON, BUT NOTHING!!!! NO ENDING AT ALL!!!

Kristin tries to tell me it was 'aliens.' Oh yeah? Why? How do you know that? Cause they guy kind of looked like an alien, and people were getting sucked into the sky? If so, then why don't they tell you its aliens? Here's a quick breakdown of why this supposed 'ending' does not work:

1. If it was aliens, why don't they ever show you a ship?
2. How were the aliens making everyone forget?
3. Why was the NSA working with aliens?
4. Why would the government work so hard to help aliens do experiments?
5. How did aliens just all of a sudden set the world right again? Why did everything go back to normal? Did they go back in time?
6. If the aliens were doing these experiments, WHY were they doing them?
7. If making the experiment a success is the most important thing, then why not just suck the mom into the air?

SPOILER OVER

Kristin says I take it too far, it's just a movie. So then if in the first Rocky when Apollo Creed wins the fight, if the very next thing you see is Rocky sitting with the belt, saying "Adrien, it's good to be champion of the world.", does that make it OK because 'it's just a movie'?

I don't buy it. I don't care. A movie should make sense. I see too many movies where the plot has more holes than Uday's Death Villa, and the audience is just supposed to not care because it's just a movie, and it doesn't have to make complete sense.

And I'm not saying 'There are no such things as dragons and wizards and monsters' sense, I'm saying 'This doesn't match up to what was just going on' sense.

Well, I'm sick and tired of it. Why should I pay ten bucks to see a movie that sucks? This is why people download movies online. Oh, boo hoo, they show little PSAs with the lighting guy saying that piracy takes money from his pocket. I don't care. I blame you, too. You're on the set when this shit is made. If you don't speak up and say, "Uh, I kind of noticed this movie makes no sense.", then you're just as guilty as the rest of them. Go cry to someone else, prick.

So, in conclusion, do not go see The Forgotten unless you feel like getting pissed off, robbed, and sodomized by Revolution Studios.
