Sixth Sense, Independence Day , Lost, 10 Commandments, etc...

Rating: 7/10 (24 April 2009)

I actually enjoyed the first part of the movie and the fact it was not the typical sci-fi with a happy ending but there were too many scenes that seemed extracted from other movies like:
1- Whispers and Plane crash (with the same close-up of the turbine): LOST 2- NYC destruction: Day the Earth stood still, Independence Day 3- Final scene: one of those biblical movies 4- Aliens and spaceship: War of the worlds, E.T... 5- Little kid glazing at the "angels": Sixth sense
I have no problems with those references as long as the plot have worked. The movie does a good job in hooking us in and make us think a bit about how life is temporary, but it was quite hard to understand:

What is the reason for the premonitions (50 years before the apocalypse)? Just to tell Lucinda where she should go to be saved? Wouldn't the ETs take her anyway? - What was the point of involving Nicolas Cage's character if he could not be saved anyway? He found out about the latitude/longitude where the save was going to happen only to go there and say goodbye?
