“How It Ends” (** out of four) was a jumbled Netflix thriller set in another post-apocalyptic wasteland in which a young man (Theo James) and his girlfriend’s father (Forest Whitaker) are forced to team up as they travel across the country struggling for survival when society is collapsing and the world is on the brink of apocalyptic chaos. Both James and Whitaker are good and play well off each other but film is overlong, overly familiar, and dull. Both “The Road” and “Contagion” covered this territory with much more terror and conviction. Peter Flickenberg’s striking cinematography is an undeniable highlight but you’ll likely be waiting for it to end.
