I liked that ending. Totally unexpected.
I thought the end was pretty good.
Ironic and depressing, but pretty good nonetheless.

Yeah, I like the ending as well. It's bold, and definitely not the way the book ended, but it works in the cinema IMO.
All in all, it's one of my favorite movies of the 2007, despite some flaws and imperfections.
I saw the film a number of times when it came out in theaters...
But now I'm really interested in watching the black & white version on the double disc DVD.
Apparently, Darabont had always planned to shoot the film in black and white, but folded under pressure from the studio. Honestly, I can picture the movie in black and white. My family and I used to listen to the audiobook probably ten or so years ago, and it's the kind of story that doesn't necassarily need alot of color. Almost like an episode of the Twilight Zone, I don't think it would lose it's effect at all.
Has anybody seen it yet?
See I knew I should had bought the two disc version....
I thought The Myst was a great movie, the ending was unexpected and suprising, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I hate watching movies were I already know everything is going to turn out ok for the main characters, this one went opposite on me, such a nice change of pace...I rented the DVD but it didnt come with the 2nd disc and B&W version...
I just watched it... interesting movie. I have to say though, the people depicted in the movie are complete. ing. idiots. At one point, I felt like I was watching a Friday 13th ing movie! They were THAT stupid. , I half expected Jason to come walking out of the fog...
Also, I know most of you wished they had shot the crazy religious early on in the movie. I spent the entire movie wishing someone would decapitate the . I love the little dude with glasses is all I got to say!

Saw the movie the other day and like some many of you have already said, "WOW! What an ending!!" I liked it, but logic says that you stay in that car and wait for help or until you think it's o.k. to get out.
I thought it was absolutely horrible.
:/
I liked it...the premise was semi-original...the characters were semi-authentic....the frightened people leaning on religion was telling....

I saw the movie last night and it was interesting. It was like war of the worlds type of . And yeah, the spiders on the pharmacy scene was awesome! I wonder what kind of crack Stephen King was smoking for him to imagine those kind of weird stories and scenarios.
he was drunk and flying off coke in the 70s.
The spiders creeped the out of me.
The "Mist" is really a "thinny" from the Dark Tower series.
And, at the time he first wrote the Dark Tower, he was on a steady diet of cough syrup and whiskey.
You see a lot of weird when you're on cough syrup and whiskey.
I thought it was pretty good. The ending was really ing obvious and poorly acted though.
I hate how King has gone back and tried to make the dark tower universe bigger than it is. I'm a big fan of the series for the most part, but after teh accident his ego really ing took over and I hated some of the things he did and continues to do regarding those books.
He's doing it because he want's everything to come full circle.
I don't think he's doing it because of his ego.
He wasn't even going to finish the series at one point, but he said that he got fan mail from a couple of guys on death row that told him that they just wanted to know what was going to happen to Roland before they died.
What really affected him was an 80 year old woman who was dying of cancer begging him to tell her how the series would end because she only had a year to live.
That was what drove him to finish the series. The accident happened shortly after.
But in terms of expanding the Dark Tower series, I kinda like what he's doing. It gives me the feeling that everything is interconnected, and it gives a reason for the creepiness found in most of his novels.
Even though I thought the mist was crap I have heard awesome things about the Dark Tower series so until I read them, then MAAAAYBE I will change my opinion on it. As a stand alone movie though it blew ass!!
If you read the Dark Tower series, you will gain a greater appreciation for it.
Once you read about the "thinnys" in Roland's world, you'll really understand The Mist.
OK ill give you that pee wee, but till then ill hold off on my bashing the mist movie.
it's a little known fact that atrain doesnt read above a 2nd grade level.
The ending sucked? Why? Because it wasn't warm and fluffy?
The ending was very Stephen King-esque. The type of ending where you just sit there and go "ohhhhhh ." I love endings like that. I love endings where everything doesn't end up happy and pretty. I love endings where the bad guy wins.
Sucked.
when ever I even bring up this movie my mom gets so piss that he didn't wait until they was attack to do what he did.
That ending was horrible. It wasn't very King esqe because it wasn't the way he ended the novella. In the novella you have no idea what happens to them, they completely made this ending up on their own.
I don't mind dark endings. I hate stupid endings that are transparent. I saw that coming for miles ahead. And the acting at the end was ing horrible. The execution of the idea was piss poor, thats why it sucked ass for me. Are you kidding me with those ing camera angles and the screaming? God, so cliche.
Yeah, the good guys come and save the day has been done over and over but that doesn't mean that the dark ending hasn't either. I thought the movie was a pleasant surprise that had a ty ending.
