Meyer preferred this "righter ending" to the film version, explaining "the end in the movie detracts from the importance of people in the present taking the responsibility for the ecology and preventing problems of the future by doing something today, rather than catering to the fantasy desires of being able to be transported in time to the near-utopian future."
Meyer je davao prednost tom "ispravnom kraju" a ne kraju u filmu, jer "kraj u filmu skreće od važnosti ljudi koji žive u sadašnjosti i uzimaju odgovornost za ekologiju kako bi spriječili probleme u budućnosti tako što rade nešto danas, umjesto da imaju fantaziju kako će biti teleportirani u utopijsku budućnost."
