It's not that she did not like it, she actually woke up early this morning and hopped online to try and figure out if she "missed something" in the movie. Turns out she didn't and well "evil is everywhere and life is random". As for my take on it, i think the move was basically telling us if there is an unstoppable force headed your way, you might be better off stepping out of it's way, and let it do it's thing. No need fighting what can't be fought right? Also, I know i was supposed to be impressed with the lack of a conventional ending, but I kind of wanted one. Maybe the Coen brothers should direct the next terminator movie ( since in a way that is almost what this movie was ), now that would be interesting.
