The reviewer enjoyed the movie adaptation of 'A Cabin at the End of the World' more than the book, finding the movie's ending more powerful and memorable. They appreciated the protagonists' heroic sacrifice in the film, which they felt was lacking in the novel.

The reviewer found the movie 'Knock at the Cabin' to be a more satisfying experience than the novel 'A Cabin at the End of the World'. While the movie closely follows the book for the first two-thirds, the ending diverges significantly. The reviewer felt the movie's ending, where the protagonists make a heroic sacrifice to save the world, was more impactful and memorable. In contrast, the book's ending, where the child's death is pointless and the parents only save themselves, felt hollow. The reviewer appreciated the movie's ability to turn the protagonists into heroes and plans to strive for similarly powerful endings in their own novels.
