Is there another good movie that falls apart worse in its final act than Minority Report?

Logan
The reveal that the villain was younger Wolverine was too much, and taking for granted that the comic thing was real without any sort of explanation as to how was lazy.

Probably up there with The Sopranos ending for obviousness.Like the literal guy screaming to the audience "They Say you have VISIONS, that your life flashes before your eyes that ALL YOUR DREAMS ... come true"
In its heyday, Sopranos ending threw many thru a loop. In hindsight, it's obvious as fuck what happened. One of my fav. endings for a TV show.
I literally came in here to say "if anybody says Sunshine I will fight you".
The movie takes a turn yes, but it does not fall apart. I will argue this to the day I die.
If X-23 is a concept you can accept, I don't understand how X-24 is anymore outlandish. His appearance was nicely foreshadowed and set-up throughout the movie and even though I was surprised when he showed up, it made sense and it didn't feel shoehorned in at all. I love the fact that he's linked to both Logan and Laura on a genetic level (all three being different versions of the same person) and what he represents.
The second point I don't understand. All we need to know is that "Eden" is past the border of Canada, a save haven for mutants. What's there isn't relevant to the story and is better left to the imagination.
I personally don't like the army base bit of
28 Days Later. Never did.
And fuck the theatrical ending, the intended ending was 10x better.

Because the movie was ultimately an allegory. And under that reading I liked the ending. I totally understand why others didn't.
You didn't even mention the whole part about his eyes still being able to access secure areas, even though he's a criminal on the run. He gets his eyes replaced because if they get scanned, the police will know! You know, except if they're used AT the police station. And even after he used that access once to kidnap one of the most important people in the world, they still work (his wife uses them later in the movie). Nope, no need to recind access, or at the very least flag his fucking eyes.
Brought this up (at length) in the latest plot hole thread. It's technically not a plot hole, just really really dumb.
Some good ones here. With Sunshine and Minority Report, I still ended up really liking those movies despite the inferior final acts, which is a testament to how good the rest of those movies were.
I'll throw out Layer Cake. While I didn't mind the final act overall, I hated the last scene of the film. Still absolutely adore the movie as a whole.

Very much agreed. My theory is that great horror is based around not showing and not telling, and resolving the plot requires both. Many, many horror flicks are disappointing for this exact reason. Either you get an unsatisfying, WTF ending, or it all ends just a little too neatly and undoes the magic of the first 2/3rds.
It's just cheesy as all hell and an incredibly transparent way to put some wolverine on wolverine action into the movie.
That's like the antithesis of world building. Pass.
I know why they did what they did at the end, but 10 Cloverfield Lane was sooooo good until the end.
You really thought the sequence where X-24 first shows up at the farmhouse is cheesy? I don't know what to say to that. Perhaps he isn't as effective in his second appearance at the end, but his first appearance was horrifying, especially in regards to Xavier's death.
I like the ambiguity. Logan guaranteed them a future, but he, nor we, will ever know what that future entails. It is uncertain but certainly there. That will have to be enough. The young inherit the earth, the old men die and pass the torch.
It also reminds me of classic westerns, noirs, and gritty crime films where the protagonist dies and that's all they wrote. Movies like Bonnie & Clyde, Get Carter, Out of the Past, and The Wild Bunch. There is nothing left to say.
This is a good one. I rewatched this I think last year and had forgotten how much that movie grinds to a fucking halt in the last third or so.
