Simply A Masterpiece

Great Film overall

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

This is as good as anything I've seen from MNS, and better than several of his films. I'd compare it to "Signs" in many ways. It has a mysterious atmosphere throughout and presents a subtle yet powerful concept of nature vs. Man.I watched it despite all the drones who panned it (including IMDb's editorializing with the "comedy" category). Some say the first half is good, then claim it deteriorated toward the end, but that makes no sense to me after seeing the whole thing. It has his typical dreamlike quality which somewhat intensifies, but it never seems cheesy, etc.Are the masses unsatisfied unless they absolutely know the enemy? My theory on the negative reviews is the psychology of refusing to be objective once a negative idea is planted, and/or anti-environmental mindsets that pervade America. A number of people will always scoff when human omnipotence is questioned.Be an original thinker, ignore the negative reviews and enjoy it for what it is.

This is the movie with the best idea, but the worst directing and script ever. Mark Wahlberg is a fiasco, as Zoe (and I don't want to say this like them both) but unfortunately both are terrible in this movie. Why did you allowed this to happen? As for the director... You need to be more humble, it's obvious that your ideas are good, but they come across pretentious and fake. Get better.

Before I start let me get one thing first this is a terrible film no doubt about that so why am I giving this a 8 rather than a 2 because it made me laugh my ass off so hard that I can't help but enjoy it. If you're look for a movie that was supposed to scare you but makes you laugh instead then watch this movie. Is there any other redeeming qualities to this film no, like I said if I was rating this like normal it would be a 2.

That is the explanation for this movie to exist. It's one of Shyamalan strangest movies, and that's not exactly a very good thing.A mysterious chemical virus or something like that makes the people that is affected to commit suicide. Here are involved a science teacher, Elliot (Mark Wahlberg), his wife Alma (Zoey Deschannel) and a friend of them (John Leguizamo). The story started pretty well and for the first 40 minutes or so it was interesting and despite some very stupid things of the script and some average acting it was good. But then they start trying to run away from the wind and the movie started to fall down and the last ten minutes were just awful (sad ending but no, it's a happy ending, no, wait, it's a bad ending. What's that?) The logic for explaining the virus that is a mystery of the nature and we'll never understand it and that's it. Probably Shyamalan didn't knew how to end the story and how to give it a reasonable explanation and came up with this. The actors were at parts good, specially the main three, but at other parts were bad acting. (Mark Wahlberg talking to a plastic plant like it was going to answer him...) Zooey Deschannel has some good moments and she is beautiful, but a pretty face don'd make an actuation good. And well, all the extras were just useless. Also, was it necessary to add all the disturbing and graphic deaths? Some of you may like it but I found it at parts funny and at parts disgusting, but no serious.On the good side I have to say that Shyamalan is still able to create tension and give the movie the feeling it needs by the camera work he is used to (despite here being less noticeable). And also the score by James Newton Howard, not as good as in other Shyamalan moments but still provides some very good moments.In general this is a very entertaining and interesting movie until it reaches the hour of duration or so, where it falls down a lot, but I'm pretty sure that if you're a Shyamalan fan you will enjoy it at most of it.
