Who else thinks the ending in the movie The Mist is dumb? (ending spoilers obviously)

Id love to see a prequel and I reckon it would make for an excellent horror about how the army fought to contain it which ultimately led to its release, has there ever been any word on what happened or how it happened as that's a fucking cool story right there

Sure — here's a short synopsis for a prequel to Stephen King's The Mist:
Title: The Arrowhead Project
When a classified U.S. military research facility in rural Maine begins experiments on interdimensional travel, scientists celebrate a breakthrough that could change the world. But as pressure mounts from shadowy government overseers, safety protocols start to slip. Strange power surges, unexplained disappearances, and distorted radio signals hint that something on the other side is watching back.
As paranoia spreads through the base, a young technician discovers that the "window" they've opened may already be a door — and it's stuck wide open. When containment finally fails, the project's true horror is unleashed: a creeping, otherworldly mist that devours everything in its path.
The final transmission from Arrowhead reads only: "Close the gate… if you still can."
Would you like me to make it sound more like a film pitch, a novel blurb, or a TV series synopsis?

Ending is great, but personally I wouldn't shoot my boy unless our chances of survival were pretty much 0%. If I were in that dude's shoes we would've been rescued.
Then a few years later I'd be sitting in my rocking chair saying "Son…let me tell you about the time I almost shot you in the face."

Read "The Fold" by Peter Clines. It's exactly what you are looking for.

If you like that one, he's written a few more in the same universe: 14, Terminus, and Dead Moon (I think)
I haven't read Terminus or Dead Moon but 14 is great.

Surprised by this take and all the people in here agreeing.
Everyone I talked to thought the ending was retarded; I saw it in theater and as soon as the army rolls in people started groaning, and during the credits the audience started having conversations amongst themselves about how the ending sucked and ruined the movie
They were fleeing the mist that came from the military base. The daft part to the whole story is that that would imply that it was a very small localised threat as it wasn't even the wider military that stopped it, just the base and whoever they called on quickly.
Been a while since I saw it, does it say how long they were driving for? Seems they shot each other after a day and a bit.
Days like these...

Upset that a movie doesn't have a happily ever ending like most movies? Maybe they should stick to movies that are rated PG or better yet G to be on the safe side.Surprised by this take and all the people in here agreeing.

Not sure if i dislike the ending for the same reasons though. I was groaning at the mass suicide part. Didn't matter what happened next, i didn't even care tbh. That part had ruined the movie for me already.Surprised by this take and all the people in here agreeing.
