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.

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.

An ambitious blend of slice-of-life, road trip, and science fiction, infused with some genuine intents at its core, which I wholeheartedly admire.

While it might not be the most sophisticated or high-concept feature, the messaging resonates well. The chemistry between the lead characters, Thalia and Kai, portrayed by Ashly Burch and Jordan Rodrigues, is commendable as they effectively strikes the right emotional chords.

If only the comedic moments had landed more effectively and the balance between the contrasting tones been nicer, I would have been more generous with my rating.

Nevertheless, I liked it for what it wanted to convey and would definitely recommend it to anyone in search of a 'comfort' feature, this might soothe your mind.

Horridly written garbage. The only thing slightly annoying was the big Giant alien spike that played no role in the movie and had no action or explanation. Everything else in the movie was HIGHLY annoying. From the absolutely juvenile plot of emotional turmoil without any depth or development to the badly cut together cinematography. Just a real waste of the actors time. They did their best with what they were given I guess.

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.
