Ah, so it was a remake. It feels like one.
But anyway. I thought it was about the end of the world. But it was more about the events that could lead up to it. I'm not sure how the original ends, but in this one it basically slaps you in the face saying "Hey, there's going to be a sequel." or to that extent.
