Great movie, but the ending W...T....F....

OK, the other reviewers have done a great job of describing the movie.

Well made, thoughtful, intelligent etc.

But the ending? Are we to believe that the Dr. used the capsules to blanket the earth to kill only Evil People? Does anyone else think that's a little extreme? I suppose in the desperate context of the movie, he is justified, what with the Russian (Evil, boo boo!) General about to wipe out North America.

I dunno. I just cant see it. It's like the killer space capsules made moral judgments on all humans and exterminated who they felt had 'negative energy'.

I have a buddy with a Littering conviction, I'm hoping he made the cut.

Great movie, the whole time I am shocked at how good it is... then the wacky ending.

Puzzling, Bizarre ending.

Plus, the English chick is naughty in a 'nice girl' way.
