I don't know if it necessarily means you liked it, but if it ends mid-scene I think it's probably normal to want some kind of closure or an an idea of what happened after, even if it's from fic.

Is this one of those 'so bad it's good' movies?

[(Anonymous)]

[OP] Kind...of? It's right on the verge of So Bad, It's Good and So Bad, It's Horrible, and it's up to the individual viewer, I think which it ends up being.

It'd be in the first category for me if the damn movie hadn't ended mid-scene and had some sort of closure.

[(Anonymous)]

I would say it's more one of those frustrating "has interesting elements and could've been really good but just... wasn't" movies. It has good CGI and the actors are okay, and what happens to the guy and his girlfriend at the end is pretty unique unless you've played Bioshock 2, but it never quite lives up to its potential.

[(Anonymous)]

Personally, I don't think that is that weird. I've found that the more flawed a canon is/the more it leaves things open, the more I want to write and read for it. Especially if there is a lot of wasted potential. On the flip side, usually when I consider a canon really really good, I tend not to experience that drive to either write or read from the fandom cause the canon already satisfied my needs.

[darkmanifest]

I get you. That ending was pretty insane and begging for a sequel or a comic or an animated short or something. You don't just leave it like that, what the hell.

[(Anonymous)]

Honestly, I found myself on a kinkmeme writing something for a series I didn't even like. It's a bit strange, but sometimes you just want more of what you didn't get from the original.

[(Anonymous)]

Not a series, but a pairing: a new character showed up and had, to my eye, an insane amount of chemistry with an existing character (whom I don't even really like). I kept half an eye on her character tag because it would be funny to see how quickly fics (and picspams, etc) cropped up...and just about nothing did. It boggled me to the point that I *kept* checking, and finally I just gave up and started shipping them.

[(Anonymous)]

I liked Skyline a lot better than Battle: Los Angeles. However, Skyline is still a pretty bad film.

I saw a Russian cam of Skyline. The film was so bad, that the audience was openly laughing at the film during the final scenes. The ending was met with confused laughter. I did enjoy the aliens though.

[miarrow]

Some of the crappiest source material gives the most inspiration for fix-fic.

[citrinesunset]

Maybe you like the concept, but not the execution? If so, I think wanting fic would make a lot of sense.

What?

[(Anonymous)]

The movie just....ends? Ends mid scene?

How does that happen? Anyone care to spoil it for me?

Spoilage

[(Anonymous)]

There are aliens that mind control people with a bright light, then rip out their brain stems to power their hive mind alien machines. The main guy gets flashed with the light a few times without getting taken, builds up a resistance, and so by the end when the aliens do catch him and stick his brain in a machine, he is still in control of it and goes batshit smashing up the other alien machines to rescue his captured pregnant girlfriend. Then it ENDS. With his brain stem in an alien golem and his gf still needing rescued.

Re: What?

[(Anonymous)]

[OP] Anon above said it all. It literally ends with the girlfriend realizing the main character's brain is in control of the alien body thing (seriously, the last word in the movie is her saying his name in disbelief), and then he turns around to fight some other aliens. ROLL CREDITS.

It's like Cockblock: The Movie.

[(Anonymous)]

Not familiar with this, but I'm always sad there's so little after-fic for my favorite crappy disaster movies (Deep Impact, The Core, etc.) There's so much worldbuilding to be explored in how society recovers from something like that.
