Riveting

Rating: Null/10 (10 July 2004)

I was mesmerized by this movie. I equate it to on of those free fall rides. A slow rise up higher and higher, where you can see things you wouldn't normally see from the ground, then, when you can hardly take the suspense anymore....wham! your in for the ride of your life!
The story centers around Reverend Graham Hess (Mel Gibson) and his family, who are still trying to come to grips with the loss of his wife (Patricia Kalember) when they find mysterious crop circles in their field.
The story triggered some basic nerve in me. It's hard to watch in parts,and can be very brutal.
But it stuck with me, and I'm not sure why.
Spoilers ahead!
There are plot holes in it. (Uhm...why would an alien race that can be killed by water come to a planet that is 70% water?) But the acting is great, and the premise is creepy.
All in all, I would give it a 7 1/2 out of 10
