How It Ends

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2018.08.01

This is a movie about a handful of characters weathering the end of the world. An unexplained and potentially global geo-physical event is the trigger, and what follows is a descent into bewildering struggle as the survivors cling to the last shreds of safety. It ends with a dis-satisfactory glimpse of them trying to out-drive the shock-waves of the event enveloping the Pacific Northwest. But before then there's an unpleasant encounter that fails to find a purpose and wraps up without really adding anything.

Not recommended.

Some people see things that are and ask, Why? Some people dream of things that never were and ask, Why not? Some people have to go to work and don't have time for all that shit.
