Worst. Ending. Ever.

     Spoiler alert: Kaboom had the worst ending of any movie I've ever seen in my life.

     I consider myself an avid moviegoer. That being said, what the fuck Gregg Araki? Granted, I will give Kaboom credit, I honestly don't think this movie took itself seriously at all. Okay, story time:

     Kaboom would be best categorized as a cult comedy, in my opinion. There's a lot of sex, masks, dreams and investigating.

     The story follows a bisexual main character, Smith, who wants very badly to have sex with his very straight roommate, Thor. On top of this, his lesbian best friend, Stella, is a very cynical, not very likable person who is sexually involved with an avid black magic believer. All whilst this is going on, Smith meets a British lady named London, who is very open about her sex life and engages in the act with Smith a few times.

     That, at least in the first half of the movie, is the main plot ... In that, there isn't much (unless you count sex as plot, in that case there's plenty). But, if you're the type of person who can endure that, you can see real potential with this movie. The writing is pretty damn witty (dare I say even good), the acting by both Thomas Dekker (Smith) and Juno Temple (London) was excellent and the director's choice in keeping the actors very neutral, whether they were having sex or getting chased gave the movie a certain je ne sais quoi.

     The second half of the movie is where the plot thickens, if you will. Smith has been having these dreams that he believes are clues to a murder that happened on campus. Naturally, he begins to investigate. A certain few people don't seem to like this one bit, as he starts getting followed by people in animal masks and guns.

     As the main cast, all in a van, drive off on a highway to escape the men with animal masks following them, the movie suddenly cuts to a character we have never seen before. He is sitting down in a room with pure white walls and the only thing in front of him is a red button. He presses it. The Earth blows up. The end.

     Never have I been so unsatisfied with a movie’s ending. And I’ve seen some pretty bad endings.

     So again, I ask: What the fuck Gregg Araki?

     Sincerely and wholeheartedly,

     K.

     TL; DR: Always wear protection when having sex, or else the world might explode.
