The Mist is a chilling tale of complete idiots stuck in a small Maine town's local grocery store when a mysterious mist overtakes the town after an extreme electrical storm. Twas your typical Stephen King esque thriller with tension, bible thumpers, good guys, bad guys and lot's of people doing stupid things that if it was a real world situation no person of sound mind would do these things. It actually wasn't a bad movie, that is, until the end. I have rarely ever wanted to put my foot through my tv at the end of a movie until the last 5 minutes of The Mist. I won't spoil the movie for those of you who have not seen it but I will say the end of the movie was the most aggravating experience I have had while watching a movie, and I've seen tons of flicks that I absolutely hated.
Maybe I missed the point of the film, maybe I didn't. I realize that the story was more about the people and how people react to stressful/unknown situations but the end....I just can't get past it. I'm sure the film maker was looking for emotional reactions at the end but the emotion I felt may not have been what the director was looking for.
So for those of you that have seen this wonderful piece of cinematic artistry, what did you think??
