Its more of a Stephen King thing.
Big disaster, but it really turns into a people vs. people thing that overshadows the real danger and ends with more tragedy. |

The movie's ending was drastically altered from that of the short story. There was no suicide, and there was no military coming to the rescue. The mist enveloped the world forever.
Having everything go back to normal (except that you killed your family lol) was fucking lame. |

30mm ! I loved the novella, and enjoyed much of the movie. In fact, I thought the movie's ending was more disturbing than the one King originally wrote (IIRC, they pick up a fragment of a radio broadcast from Hartford, and decide to drive there. The End.). I especially enjoyed seeing The Shermanator as the stock-boy, and I thought the CGI was top-notch. |

Really???
I really enjoyed that movie. The lady with the CCW was the one who provided the gun. They mentioned her permit, and her need for the gun for safety reasons. They went around asking who was the most trustworthy person to use the gun, responsibility went to the grocery store manager since he was a former pistol shooting champ. The possession of a gun SAVED many lives in the movie. I didnt see anything wrong with it at all. |

Walking away from the movie, you feel like you need to buy another gun more than anything. I agree completely. I walked away thinking about what I would have done if I was in his situation. Completely out of gas, no equipment or food, in the middle of nowhere with giant fucking killer insects everywhere. Not to mention you can't see more than 100 feet in any direction. I don't know what I would have done, I sure wouldn't have wanted my son to die the way that most of those people died... |

But the soldiers in the store with them helped them quite a bit until they were all dead and at the end, they show up and save everyone's bacon. Sure, its not exactly a positive light, but who the hell else is going to rip a hole between dimensions? Some high school kid in his garage trying to overclock his laptop? In case you missed it, they showed that all military members are guilty repeatedly; that somehow all members of the armed forces are involved in the government's most heinous conspiracy. Even the lowest ranking and least experienced members who would never have any knowledge and shouldn't even in the dumbest of movies. It a blatant showing of contempt toward military members which isn't surprising considering that Stephen King called all members of the Armed Forces illiterate, ignorant high school drop outs. Who else would you suppose they could blame for a giant science experiment gone wrong? The local barber? Good lord. YFC is correct. It was military scientists that unleashed the creatures and the mist from the other dimension, so it WAS the military's fault. Doesn't make them evil, but it does make them guilty of a SUPREME fuck up.

Movie sucked but things to take away -If you believe in God Libs see you as that crazy lady -Military is evil and does bad things -If you have a gun innocent people will die (The end part) What!? With all respect, that's the dumbest shit I've heard since I've been White. The military started the problem by accident, yeah, I'll give you that.

Who else would you suppose they could blame for a giant science experiment gone wrong? The local barber? Good lord. You mean the low-ranking private/scientists? How would fresh-faced privates have knowledge of it. If they did, everyone on and off base knew about it. So yes, the barber should have known about it too and killed himself for the guilt of having that knowledge. But he did not nor anyone else. The director of the movie symbolically convicted, tried and executed the privates. Every one of them paid for their crime in the movie. |

It must be difficult seeing liberal conspiracies in every thing you do. Eating cheerios must upset you because of all the obama references.
The story was good. The movie was good. |

If you listened to what the kid said, "You've all heard the rumors." So apparently the secret project wasn't that secret. This nonsense about it being an attack on military members? Is this what you thought when you watched Godzilla? How about Outbreak? Doom? Give me a break. |
