Would have been a better movie if it had ended a few minutes earlier

Rating: 5/10 (23 March 2009)

The movie could be summarized as a remake of Close Encounters of the Third Kind with Angels instead of Aliens. The movie was good up until the point where Nicholas cage lets his child leave with the Whispering People. Unfortunately instead of ending the movie hear and leaving the rest to the viewers imagination the writer/directors decided to hit the viewers over the head with quasi-biblical new age views of aliens as angels and metaphors such as the paired children carrying rabbits (as in breed as), a glowing tree of life symbol, etc...
I was particularly annoyed by the appearance that each angelic "ship" only appeared to carry a single pair of children. In all I would have enjoyed the movie more if they had simply left the angels and what happens to the kids as unexplained.
