We're All Gonna Die

In full honesty, one hour in, and I wasn't sure if this movie was going to really "pay off"; a burden I put on the film, not something promised to me. The characters didn't click with me immediately, no matter how hard I tried. Not to say the performances were bad, Ashley Burch is a stand out for sure, but the tone felt a little disjointed/inconsistence to me. My mind was changed during the climax of the film. The last 20 minutes of succinct story telling, beautiful cinematography and clever use of special FX ties everything together beautifully. I was crying, smiling and laughing by the end of the journey. As the credits rolled I felt like I had watch two people grow, change, and mature together; An absolute joy of a film! I want more Sci-Fi RomComs from Matt and Freddy; please and thank you!

P. S. Composer Maxton Waller's music throughout the film was absolutely incredible; very reminiscent of Shane Curruth's work in Upstream Color. Not similar in tone per se, but in his ability to match each "short" musical piece and interlude with the scene presented on screen. The backing track was always so expressive and perfectly emblematic of the emotions depicted. A+!

We're All Gonna Die is one of those rare films that doesn't just pass the time - it grabs you and doesn't let go. I went in expecting something good, but what I got was a masterclass in emotional storytelling: funny, sad, serious, and somehow still uplifting.

It's raw, real, and incredibly well-balanced - the kind of film that makes most recent releases feel like filler by comparison. Every scene landed, the pacing was perfect, and the team behind this absolutely smashed it.

Genuinely one of the best things I've watched in ages, and more people need to see this.

Bravo, and huge props to Freddie, Matt and the whole team!

This 2024 movie was one that I had never heard about, and thus obviously never seen, duh! And as I stumbled upon it here in 2025, by random chance, of course I had to sit down and watch what directors Matthew Arnold and Freddie Wong had to offer.

Writers Matthew Arnold, Freddie Wong, Will Campos and Beth May put together a script and storyline that sort of fell short of entertaining me. Sure, it was a watchable movie, but there just simply wasn't much of anything interesting, much less actually funny, happening throughout the course of the narrative. Which made sitting through 107 minutes of this somewhat of a test. I was expecting the alien tentacle mentioned in the synopsis to be a bigger part of the narrative, so when that didn't happen it was sort of a disappointment.

While I was not familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list, that was actually something that spoke in favor of the movie. I do enjoy watching new and unfamiliar talents on the screen when I watch a movie. The acting performances in the movie were fair.

I will say that the movie was definitely nicely shot and there were some very nice scenery in the movie.

Ultimately a bit of a disappointing and slow paced movie.

My rating of directors Matthew Arnold and Freddie Wong's 2024 movie "We're All Gonna Die" lands on a generous four out of ten stars.

I really liked how this movie kept me wanting to keep watching it. I liked how it was not fixated on the world wide issue at hand. It was an emotional roller coaster. One bad part of the movie was what the one of the main characters does something because of emotion. It didn't sit right with me, otherwise I would have given this a 8/10 stars.

This was probably the biggest waste of time ever. It didn't make much sense the dialogue was as bland as possible and there is no explanation of what is going on. It feels like there could possibly be an interesting concept here but this is the worst execution they could have done. I get that it is an indie film but it is still God awful by that standard. With other indie films at least there is some value and interesting dialogue occasionally but this has none of it and clearly they had a somewhat good budget because the effects are decent and the props were somewhat decent, but clearly the director doesn't know how to direct, I hope they learn because again it is an interesting concept.
