To the Stars (2019)
2/10
A collection of great ingredients does not a finished dish make!

I must agree wholeheartedly with the two reviews "The Unclear and Bad Written Ending Destroyed It!" and "Unexpected Coming-of-Age Story," as it has the worst ending since the 2001 film "Rat Race."

What is it with writers these days? It's like they have a GREAT basis for a story, and then get writer's block right at the point when the Third Act is supposed to really have the audience on the edges of their seats, waiting for the Big Reveal. Sadly, there are no meaningful reveals, and lots of threads are left hanging and unanswered. And the final transformation of the girl in question seems rushed, unrealistic by any measure, and meaningless.

Who do I sue to get back the two hours of my life I wasted on this film? Sure, the first 75% was great, but the ending utterly ruined it. It's like getting some serious attention from a genuinely interesting woman for an hour and twenty-five minutes, and then she steps behind you, picks up a Louisville Slugger, and beats your brains out with it. Kinda ruins the whole experience, you feel me?

I think I will buy the DVD of this movie, if for no other reason than to watch the Bonus Content, which has Malin Akerman self-flagellating while screaming "I SHOULD HAVE NEVER LEFT BILLIONS...! I SHOULD HAVE NEVER LEFT BILLIONS...!" over and over again until she passes out.
