(I apologize in advance to those members who've already heard me go on about The Mist's ending.) I enjoyed the novella very much, and felt its ending was perfectI found the movie's ending unacceptable, partly due to my wishing the filmmakers had found a way to create the same climactic spookiness as the novella, partly due to its unbelievability, and partly due to it's, imho, copping out. Movies are about maintaining the "Suspension of Disbelief" (Suspension of disbelief - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).leaving the reader with the ominous sense that the world had forever changed, as if a new level of evolution had occurred.I believe the movie's characters would not have done what they did; that humans don't behave that way, even in such a imaginary scenario. Also, the decision they made they made in a matter of less than a minute. Impossible. And the decision was inconsistent with who we'd come to know of them, so it was discontinuous with what the story had already told us. Finally, the human race prevails against the monsters? Really? I preferred the novella, wherein humans survive (but for how long?), while the monsters apparently take over the world; not the other way around.
