Warriors of Future Ending Explained
In 2055 on an environmentally-damaged and war-torn Earth, a meteorite strikes a futuristic Hong Kong, now known as the B-16 district. A giant alien plant, named Pandora, has rapidly grown out from the rubble, causing devastation but also purifying the air. Scientists have devised a solution to alter the genetic makeup of Pandora to stop its growth and help keep purifying the air.

Earth has been ravaged by pollution and disaster, as a result, many people are born with birth defects and die. Therefore large domes known as Skynet are built to protect the surviving cities on Earth. One lead scientist, Dr Chan, finds a way to alter the plant’s genes to stop Pandora from growing further while also letting it continue to repair the atmosphere.
Tai Loi and Cheng, soldiers working for the ASU, are tasked with locating Pandora’s pistil and delivering a gene bullet bomb that will neutralize its growth, but they have to do this before the rain storm, as water contributes to its growth. Colonel Tam is sent to oversee the operation, but she has a backup plan to bomb Pandora from the air, which would destroy the plant and also kill 160,000 people in the surrounding area.
Cheng doesn’t want to stop the pandora at the cost of the citizens and sends his best soldier – Tai Loi aka Tyler with the Orca transport aircraft carrying the gene bullets. During the mission, Sean Li, the commander in chief of B-16 and the architect of the Skynet project, sabotages the Orca by making a military robot attack other soldiers and it crashes down, with the gene bullets lost in the rubble.
All the other aircraft also get destroyed by the pandora and only Tyler, Connor and Lincoln survive somehow. However, Lincoln is critically injured, while looking for medical supplies at an abandoned hospital, where they are attacked by big insect-like creatures which kill Lincoln. There they also find a little girl named Pansy.
On the other hand, Cheng decides to go out and find his soldiers, with whom he has lost contact. He takes the help of his former friend and ex-soldier, Skunk, who drives him to the abandoned hospital and rescue them. The survivors escape the hospital and head to the building where the Orca crashed, finding the last intact gene bullet.
There Connor finds evidence from the crashed robot head that Sean Li had ordered him to sabotage the mission in order to allow Pandora to be destroyed and the construction of his Skynets to continue. The team contact Li, saying that they have evidence of his sabotage, but Li rather challenge them to beat him, as they will have to survive against the military robots under his control.
Li sends several tank-like and humanoid robots after them and while fighting Cheng gets separated from them. Others somehow reach the base of the pistil but encounter a large crab-like robot, with its pulse weapon destroying their armoured car. They’re so close to the pistil yet overpowered by the killer robots. That’s when Cheng comes searching for them and saves Pansy as well.
In the headquarters, Tam is getting ready to bomb the pandora, when Cheng sends them the message that he is at the pistil and about to unleash the gene bullet. She also gets to know about Li’s sabotage and tells him to stop. As soon as the gene bullet is destroyed, the growing pandora vines are stopped and get under control.
However, Li shoots himself before Tam can arrest him. In the near future, we see that the atmosphere is slowly getting better with Pandora’s help and the brave soldiers are now going to space to explore what more lies there.
