Justify why you liked the ending

I know a lot of people didn't like the alien attack, I believe it was necessary. She says that she has ran when things got hard her whole life. She ran from John Goodman every time, she could have finished him off several times but she always did just enough so she could escape.
It was a forced confrontation that she absolutely couldn't escape from. She was forced to fight to overcome her automatic response to run. It made her fight for her life. Some sort of inescapable situation had to happen for character development.
Was it done properly or could have been better? That's up to you to decide. -

I don't have to justify anything.
I liked her and her "take no prisoners" attitude. The entire time, she didn't play helpless little girl victim. I'm guessing that if she had been a he, the attitude toward this movie would have been more positive. I love it.

Ever since war of the worlds came out, all alien ships have to be living creatures.
You believe War of the Worlds invented biological ships?

The entire movie was very good. The ending left an opening for a sequel which is a good thing. My family of five, ages 28-64 all enjoyed the film immensely. Anyone who complains about this film is not a sci-fi fan. Science fiction as good as this are not common and anyone who likes sci-fi has a responsibility to encourage more production activity. Negativity only discourages funding of this most expensive genre.

It was a flaming molotov cocktail, which she deliberately employed after she was shown reacting to the explosions
In other words, they spelled out her awareness that the aliens' "gas" was highly flammable & explosive
The movie shows the aliens' vulnerability to flame, and shows Michelle spotting that vulnerability -

I have no clue why anyone would like the ending, it is completely out of place and unneccesary. The film is phenomenal, but the ending is awful. It had a Super 8 kind of feeling

To the OP, I thought it was gutsy to actually go for an ending that had a lot more reveal to it, after years of seeing the style of 'what is the out there?'. I totally expected it to end with just a hint of alien invasion but, instead, the director chose to go for a lot less ambiguity which I have to commend. Of course there's the noodniks that inevitably will whine about 'the ending sucked' because they thought it looked 'fake' or the aliens were 'dumb' and on and on.
I liked the ending because the director didn't take the easy way out but he very well could have because the original protagonist was dealt with, from the apparent talk though I suppose it was done to build to another sequel so there's that I suppose too.

I agree, IMO they shouldve ended it with an open ending, questioning if Howard was right after all, or wrong like she thought, like when she took her mask off, have a shot on her face for like 5 seconds, then end the movie. Couldve started many interesting discussions.
This ending was out of place, and unneccesary.

Both of those ideas came to mind after I saw this film.
Either to have her look in the distance (while keeping the camera on her face) and show her reacting to something we don't see, leaving us all guessing, or to leave in that one shot of the ship which resembles a helicopter from profile, and cut to black just as it turns around and starts to appear otherworldly.
Maybe someone's made a fan edit of that by now? -

Because i knew going in this was set in Cloverfield universe and was expecting a big reveal since the moment she decided to escape, so while not exactly what i expect, this pretty much fit in to what i wanted from this movie.
Also im one of those crazy people that love CGI sci-fi.

I just thought it was fun. I wasnt expecting her to go all jedi and destroy the flying vagina dentata. That thing was so ugly! Just a really entertaining movie for me. Right movie for the mood I was in at the time. Yes it was totally over the top, especially after the mood of all the scenes with John Goodman who was excellent, but I just had fun with it.
