We're All Gonna Die

I really don't understand the poor ratings and comments on this film. I think people get a certain idea of the film by reading the synopsis and then are disappointed that the subject doesn't deal explicitly with aliens and the supernatural. I made the same mistake, but I have to admit that this film is a little gem ! I was transported and captivated by the actors, who play their roles to perfection. It's funny, touching and intriguing all at once. In short, my film of the year without hesitation ! And I sincerely hope this film wins some awards.

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.

What a wonderfully engaging film. It's a package of emotional loss and resettling, genuinely amusing side lines, light romance and drama with a one percent Science Fiction content used to tie it all together.

If you're expecting to watch a Sci-Fi indy film with all that may encompass, I suspect you're going to be one of the ones on here using the incredibly tired cliche about having wasted an hour and three quarters of their life.

The Sci-Fi element is more of a small Segway to bind all the other components. It's a weird spike - that's it, it doesn't need explaining, the film doesn't require it.

The acting, story, setting and outcome make up for what I was originally expecting in every way and left me with an emotional feel good lift that was far from expected and very much appreciated and enjoyed.

Highly recommended as a light but emotional feel good drama - with a teensy tiny bit of Sci-Fi thrown in.

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.

It's too bad that this movie got categorized under romance, comedy, and sci-fi. Because those are just categories of what the characters experience. It is just a really great film about people. And how they deal with life and the stuff behind them and how itheir choices impact the stuff in front of them. You could take out the "sci-fi" event that they experience and substitute it for some present day tragedy like a plane crash or a mass shouting and it would still be about how people deal with life. There are so great themes interwoven that I won't spoil, but they're lovely. The lead male actor could've been stronger with his performance but I can ignore that. It's a great watch if you have time to just sit back and enjoy a good story.
