“Worst movie ending of all time”: Netflix viewers annoyed by “unfinished” A House of Dynamite

by

Last week, Netflix released A House of Dynamite, a new film directed by Kathryn Bigelow, who also directed Zero Dark Thirty and Point Break. The movie stars Idris Elba and Rebecca Ferguson and depicts how the U.S. government reacts to a nuclear missile launch.

Okay, so the movie’s been out for a bit now, and I’ve been seeing all sorts of reactions online. Honestly, people are all over the place with their opinions – some love it, some hate it, it’s pretty crazy!

It wasn’t entirely unexpected. While Digital Spy praised the film as ‘captivating’ and ‘one of the best Netflix movies of the year,’ we also noted that it was intentionally frustrating at times.

What to Read Next

The book, A House of Dynamite, repeats the same events through various characters’ eyes, but it never reveals what actually happens after the missile hits.

After the story took a new direction, many viewers were disappointed that it didn’t fully deliver on its potential. This has led to a lot of frustration online, with some calling the ending unsatisfying and a waste of time – even from people who had been enjoying it up until that point.

One viewer expressed their disappointment with the Netflix film A House of Dynamite, saying they spent two hours watching it only to be left with a terrible ending. They were completely captivated while watching, but the finale was so bad they ‘prayed the Nuke hit me,’ and believe it’s among the worst movie endings ever.

Someone else chimed in, saying they regretted spending two hours watching A House of Dynamite on Netflix. They were frustrated that the movie repeatedly showed the same scenes without any real progress, and jokingly said everyone involved should feel embarrassed.

One viewer expressed extreme disappointment, saying they wasted two hours on a film with no satisfying conclusion. They felt it simply ended abruptly, suggesting the filmmakers either ran out of funding or lacked the motivation to finish it properly.

Many viewers have strongly criticized #AHouseOfDynamite, with one saying it’s simply a waste of time because ‘nothing happens’ despite having multiple perspectives. Another viewer expressed their confusion, wondering if they had missed something, and speculated the project may have been released prematurely due to funding issues.

Many viewers felt the movie started strong but had a deeply disappointing ending. One person called it a complete letdown, while another explained that all the build-up led to nothing, preventing it from reaching its full potential. They felt it didn’t just falter, but completely stopped short of a satisfying conclusion, ruining what could have been one of the best films of the year.

The feeling is much the same on Reddit, with one user saying the movie felt incomplete, and many others agreeing that the beginning was far better – they even described it as incredibly exciting.

You know, I was thinking, it would have been amazing if they’d ended parts one through three right before that critical failure at the Alaska station. Then, they could have stitched everything together for the rest of the movie! A bunch of other fans said they think that would have been a really cool way to do it, and I totally agree.

Many viewers loved the film exactly as it was. One fan described it as “one of the scariest and most disturbing movies I’ve seen in years,” while another predicted it would be “one of the best films of the year,” praising its captivating nature from beginning to end.
