Disappointed with AAMFP

[Fortigurn]

"But the lack of resolution makes it scary! Besides, how are we going to get a sequel if we finish the plot?"

Lack of complete resolution is ok, if it's done right. But Outlast spent all this time convincing you that the guy you were listening to and following was going to help explain everything and help you sort it all out, and then completely failed to do so. Suddenly that guy was throw aside as completely irrelevant, and the plot took another direction entirely, heading into a blind alley at the end of which no resolution was in sight. You were left wondering what the point of it all was.

It's a bit like the TV series LOST. In the tradition of Movie-A-Minute, here is a synopsis of the entire series.

(Some people CRASH THEIR PLANE on an island. SPOOKY THINGS happen, and no one knows WHY.)

Heroic protagonist (Shepherd/Sawyer/Sayeed/Locke, etc): Where am I? What is this place? Why are we here? What's happening?

Enigmatic antagonist (Ben/Widmore/Jacob/The Artist Formerly Known As The Smoke Monster): Follow me and do EXACTLY as I say, and I'll EXPLAIN EVERYTHING.

(He doesn't.)

THE END.
