Climax

Not the good kind, but the book kind.

A climax is, in sum, where the protagonist has no other choice but do that which all of the action has led up to and leads to the falling action. Before the conclusion.But most importantly, it leads to the falling action.

Now what makes Hollywood think that they can create movies that have absolutely nothing of substance after the climax. Ok, so you sit through the entire movie and you get attached to these characters (if it is a good movie) then the climax occurs and then the credits roll. WTF?

Is it too much to ask that maybe, just maybe, we can have a wrap up at the end. What happened to tying up the knots at the end? I mean, really. I would like to see the protagonist recuperate after a long hard battle of wits/strength/"idiocracy" you know, usual. And don't leave the ending open for a part two when you know good and well there will be no part two. It just confuses the heck out of us because we leave the theatre with questions KNOWING got doggone well that those questions won't be answered until the DVD release interviews, which we won't buy ever because the movie ended in the crappiest way possible. EVER.

In case you're wondering what movie struck this rant, it's Untraceable. Now it did not leave anything open for a part two, but I declare to you this day that you will be just as disappointed as I was - and most movie goers on Rotten Tomatoes. Cheers.

'Tis All.
