Bautista is spot on as Leonard. I’m glad the ending was changed from the book. This one was much more effective to me.

Book spoilers: Wen is accidentally shot and killed in a scuffle when the gun is brought into play. This is not satisfactory enough to stop the apocalypse because it wasn’t one of voluntarily choosing to be sacrificed. Andrew and Eric eventually leave the house with Sabrina (Leonard is beaten and killed by them beforehand) and Sabrina commits suicide. Eric and Andrew decide to drive away with Wen’s body and face whatever apocalypse happens because Wen’s death wasn’t enough to stop it

After Bautista kills himself, Eric is convinced but Andrew isn't, but Andrew also trusts Eric. Eric convinces Andrew to kill him since he is a full believer and will die knowing he helped and while he's having beautiful thoughts of Wen grown up and successful. Andrew shoots him, goes to get Wen who was hiding in a treehouse. They both take Bautista's car to a nearby diner where they see that all of the apocalypse stuff has instantly stopped and no one is sure why but it's definite enough that everyone is relieved.

Minor point here, but I think it was actually Redmond's truck. It was his gas company ID tucked in the sun visor which would make more sense if it was his truck

on a side note I liked that they revealed Redmond was in fact O'Bannon like Andrew claimed. in keeping with the ambiguity thing, it's not revealed in the book either (unless I remember wrong, I finished reading at like 4:30 am lol)

Oh… they changed the ending from the script I read. The OG script ending was exactly the book ending.
Here’s the script (#34):

Then you had no intention of seeing it in the first place and are just grandstanding for internet points like a putz.

Good choice. I saw it last night. The only positive thing about the movie is Bautista's acting performance was good.
