The Apocalpse and New Eden.

Rating: 4/10 (23 June 2013)

This could have been a great horror story, the first 3/4 of the movie was creepy as heck. Kids hearing things no one else can, trances, people in the shadows, seemingly demonic possessions, etc. With the proper ending, this movie could have easily have been a hit.
However, we learn later that all of the mysterious happenings are caused by "aliens" who have been watching certain people for decades. So this is a science fiction flick then, right? Well, maybe or maybe not.
The Apocalypse is upon the world and all life will soon be extinguished from the face of the Earth. Good nature benign and benevolent "aliens" have decided to pluck certain children off the planet and deliver them to a new place to restart the cycle of life again.
So why is this not a science fiction movie then? Well, it could be because the "aliens" in their true form resemble winged angels. It could also be because of the fact that one boy and one girl was saved. Or maybe it's because the children are deposited in what appears to be a lush garden with a single tree.
Many movies have trick endings or messages, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. To me, the ending seemed to be a page from the Book of Genesis which makes very little sense for a science fiction movie. So are the writers intimating that religion is science fiction? Please leave metaphysics out of science fiction movies, OK?
