I remember watching the Planet of the Apes for the first time and I did not see that ending coming at all. Taylor realizing he’s been on earth the entire time and that human civilization has basically been destroyed ending with him screaming ‘you maniacs, you blew it up’ is one of the most classic plot twists in movies and Charlton Heston played it perfectly!

How is Ava the villian in Ex Machina? Caleb only decided to conspire to spring Ava after it/she flirted with him. If it/she had been a failed prototype iteration and not passed his interpretation of the Turing test, Caled would have doomed Ava to death and eventual repurposing. Caleb could have done lots of much more honorable things - breaking his NDA, going to the press, he only acted the way he did because he was infatuated.

I have never seen it. I have real trouble with bombs and explosions but what a great ending. Just read about the plot etc and Tim Robbins is perfect for delivering that last line with such a cold stare. Yeah it would have scared the crap out of me as a kid too. It’s the sheer desperation of trying to save his son and the fact none of them can escape the inevitable.

I not so long ago saw a Korean movie called I want to know your parents and it had a pretty good plot twist. Like from the beginning you can kind of guess where its going(its school bullying suicide story) but then it goes completely different. Is very frustrating to watch at times. Also there is another movie but the twist is more the genre change in the end. There is a movie called once upon a time in high school(another Korean movie). It goes from coming of age teen movie to a martial arts action movie in last couple minutes.

Chinatown is so damn bleak. Like, (spoilers) not only do we find out the main female lead has been impregnated by her own dad and that he's going to get away with it because he's too powerful for anyone to touch, but she gets shot through the head while trying to escape with her kid/sister and the kid/sister is taken by her father/grandfather with the strong implication that he's going to do the exact same thing to her and there isn't a damn thing anyone can do. No justice, no hope, just good people doomed to a horrific fate, monsters getting away with it and the only closure for our lead being" Forget it." Cause that's just Chinatown.
