One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

The review would usually reflect a 1/10 film. I only give it more as it was an interesting premise, started off ok and kept me fully intrigued and guessing throughout.But that was alway in the knowledge, that it was horrendous as film and as a story. The actors looked completely bored and uninspired throughout and as if they did not really have a clue what was happening either. It has also dated so quickly as a film amd.could pass as a film from the 1980's, although it looked like they attempted a Hitchcock style.It made little if any sense. A few of the people in the opening scenes, did not seem to be affected by the virus, when all rounds them were, but that never went anywhere. The attacks all seemed to stop in a perfectly straight line down the entire U.S but nobody was able to get through the line. I never really understood the exact number of people that need to be in the group to make it safe or unsafe and how group of people are all affected and another group in the same field, were not.

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.

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.

*******************May Contain Major Spoilers*********************Okay this movie has way too many flaws that you ask yourself if it's intentional then you start to realize it really isn't it's just a bad movie. I really tried to pay attention to all the details to reconstruct the plot but it just does not make any sense. Why the plant caused most people around Mark Wahlberg and Zoey Deschanel to commit suicide but they spared Marky Mark, his Lady and the little girl. Nobody knows it's supposed to be a mystery in the world of M Night Shyamalan. Well guess what Mr Shyamalan your movie makes 0 sense and don't try to come up with that excuse that it's supposed to be a B Movie or mystery with a twist BS. No, this movie is just plain weird. The actors are acting strange. People around the main characters don't know how to act. This movie gets 0 out 10 for acting. 1 out 10 for plot twist and 0 for the script. The only good thing about this movie is that is shot properly like any other respectable movie but the actual content of the movie is terrible. This movie script and direction made Mark Wahlberg look like an extremely weak actor with some of the weirdest line deliveries i have ever seen. I think at that point M Night Shyamalan felt too confident with his film making style that he thought people would be fascinated with his piece of art. And what's up with M Night movie thinking they are better than they actually are except for the 6th Sense and Unbreakable i have not seen one solid Shyamalan movie. In unbreakable and the sixth sense the plot twist made sense and were very clever although they revolve around the supernatural. This one not so much we are just going along with Shyamalan film making. Bottom line don't watch this movie expecting much from it because there isn't. The plot doesn't make sense, the actors are terrible, the twist is revealed early on the movie even the way the plants are acting i mean the plants are just being plants for real there is no evidence those people dying is even related to the plant. Okay i stop this movie i just plain stupid at the end it's just a waste of time unless you are in to laugh at the incredibly bad acting in this movie it is really not worth your time.
