We're All Gonna Die

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.

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 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.

I rarely watch anything outside of mystery/horror and true SciFi. I only watched this because I was intrigued by the idea of a teleporting alien spike. So for me to come write a review of this movie means this movie had a impact. It honestly really is just a drama, with a little comedy, a little romance, and even less SciFi. But the ending point of it was sooo good. The leads are okay, not fantastic, and there was an awkwardness that I don't feel was intentional, it kinda felt like young acting jitters. Nothing spectacular about the scenery other than the spike. The music was appropriate but nothing great. There was not ONE particular thing that stood out, but when it all came together at the end, I felt content and glad that I watched this movie.
