Endings are one of the most crucial things, and from the statistics...
dam hard to get right.

Every expectation has been hyped...people are thinking "god dam! this better have a good ending or I'll scream' and the director is crossing his fingers, holding his breath and hoping that everyone likes the ending.

There needs to be a "Doctorate of ending a movie " in universities.

I feel like taking some movies, and stopping them at suitable places, fading them to black prematurely...stop the last Matrix movie after Neo sacrifices himself,..and show a 10 sec silent scene of a few of the citizens of Zion emerging, to walk on the surface for the first time. Fade to black, roll creditsand have the voice of Morpheus say:
" etc..Isn't that worth fighting for...isn't that worth dying for?"
while credits roll.

Well, I think that my version of how it should end, is at least better than "I made a rainbow for Neo!"

how would you have ended the thried matrix movie?
or some other movie.

I agree with all the above - this could have been one of the SF greats - 2001, Alien, Star Wars - many spring to mind. But the last act chickens out at all the crucial points - why do we need a slasher? That's so Event Horizon! A good movie I agree, but been done so many times. This could have transgresed all of these genres and soared high to a new plain. The descent into the sun set up the ultimate trip that could have out-tripped 2001. Every rule that we know could have been jetisoned - anything is possible in the middle of a near Big Bang explosion - so why not run with it???? I pray for a directors cut of epic proportions because I loved this film so much and want it to reach its full potential. Please Danny - set it free - its all there.....

I went to a preview screening of Sunshine with a Q&A with Danny Boyle and his thinking with the last part of the film was the because they were so close to the sun and nobody has any idea of what could happen to a human in those conditions they could "throw the rule book out of the window" and a make the change of pace work. I agree that it jarred but i liked the idea of the maddened, sun-scorched man who had spent 6 and a half years wallowing in his own delusions after possibly killing his own crew. It was an illustration of the possible end result of the ship's doctor's obsession - for all our so-called rationality we are dust in the face of something a beautiful and monstrous as the sun. What I didn't like was what they did with it. They turned it into a teen-flick slasher movie which was ultimately disappointing although the rest of the film more than made up for it esp sound, set and visual design.
