      If you actually watched the movie they more or less give you an idea as to why they didn't wait

      Cause they heard shit in the distance and saw that massive creature pass by. Also cause they saw all the horrifying ways the creatures kill you and didn't want to take chances. Realistically that many people probably wouldn't decide that quickly but in the movie it works really well.

    I can see why people like it but I never liked how the military shows up and everything is all well again. Would have preferred seeing the mist keep going with no hint of ending and a bunch of creatures.

      I get what you mean but as far as those last five minutes go having everything suddenly return to normal is a great visual to stab you in the heart with

        Agreed. I still think its a bleaker ending with a never ending all enveloping mist that has spread beyond the military's control. Don't forget we see that same woman that left the market with her kids in the military truck. Maybe have the military come up behind them with nothing but the mist in front? Who knows, still a solid movie with a good ending.

      Maybe, but it's memorable and the rest of the film is pretty competent. It's not a masterpiece but it at least stands out. If every movie tried shit like this with their endings it would get old extremely fast.

    I really wish Darabont would have adapted From a Buick 8. It's a small scale personal story and it would have worked well with his style. He seems to be semi retired though and I doubt a story that shows cops in a sympathetic light would get greenlit in today's political hellscape.

        She was right for the majority of the runtime. Even though she was nuts, she was proven right to the point that it ended with the majority siding with her.

    In the original novel this doesn't happen and instead it ends with him continue driving looking for help, but Stephen King stated he approved of this ending anyway

            The let's plays were fine because he's so cynical, and Mark bounced off him nicely. Then he became a big b***h and unlisted all the videos they did together, i.e. the only good videos he did.

    This movie makes me laugh, it shows the essence of American sensitivity, fragility and stupidity.
    They're in a supermarket with literally enough food for weeks and within one day it all goes to shit.

    The list goes on and on. Good film for its comedic value though, that is Americans being the most ridiculous nation on Earth lol

    i don't know why but this movie and the war of the worlds 2005 are such a specific kind of kino that makes me feel a certain way
    maybe it's just because it's 2000's smart white new england dad kino or something. that and i watched them as a kid (i'm 22)
