Ask Your Own Question
What is the plot?
What is the ending?
The ending has the rescue mission reach the lost submarine, with the kraken attacking the vessel as the crew tries to survive the final assault. In the final moments described by the available recap, the brothers reconcile, the submarine is split apart by the creature, and at least one rescue craft surfaces safely with a mother and son reunited.
Scene by scene, the ending unfolds this way.
The crew is already under extreme pressure, with the kraken close enough that everyone in the main submarine is terrified. The creature's tentacles surround the vessel, and the men inside realize they cannot simply wait it out or outrun it.
Inside the submarine, the two brothers speak directly to each other. They apologize for their earlier fight, and the scene gives them a final moment of honesty before the attack breaks them apart from any ordinary hope of escape.
The kraken then strikes the submarine with enormous force and breaks it in half with a single blow. The recap identifies this as the decisive destruction of the main vessel, and the attack ends the brothers' chance of leaving together in that submarine.
After that, the rescue effort reaches a turning point. A submarine comes up safely, and the mother and son who are associated with that rescue are shown reunited and overjoyed to be together again.
As for the main characters at the end: - The two brothers are together in the final submarine scene, reconcile before the attack, and are then separated by the kraken's strike on the vessel. - The mother and son survive the final rescue and are reunited. - The broader crew's fate is tied to the submarine being destroyed, with the ending centered on survival for some and the loss of the main craft for others.
The available results do not give a full on-screen accounting of every named character's exact final fate, so I can only state with confidence what the recap explicitly describes: the brothers' last exchange, the submarine's destruction, and the safe surfacing and reunion of the mother and son.
Who dies?
Yes. In the 2025 film Kraken, several characters die during the disaster at the ice-bound research site and in the surrounding fjord crisis.
The deaths shown or described in the recap include:
- The remaining scientists at the camp die when the ice breaks, their snow-moving boat is destroyed, the camp is hit by explosions, and they slowly drown in the water.
- A man is injured when he collides with a glass screen and falls back unconscious; the recap does not clearly say he dies, so this is not a confirmed death from the available source.
- The whales are killed when the tentacle moves again and kills them all at once, but they are animals rather than human characters.
The source material available here does not give a clean, complete on-screen death list for named characters, only this recap-style account of the major fatal events. The film is also described in other sources as involving "inexplicable deaths" and "brutal deaths of two teenagers," but those sources are not specific enough to identify every named victim or the exact circumstances in detail.
If you want, I can also give you a character-by-character death breakdown of the film from the recap that is available.
Is there a post-credit scene?
There is no post-credits scene in Kraken (2025). The available end-credits reports indicate that the film does not include any extra scene after the credits, though viewers may want to stay briefly because some releases can include credit material or title cards without a true stinger.
