Did I miss something?

Rating: 2/10 (9 July 2009)

I do not understand the story here! I was hoping to learn more about the mystery of crop circles and instead all I got was Joaquin Phoenix watching TV in a closet and no real idea what the aliens were like. For example, how can these beings travel light years across the vastness of space and not be able to get out of a locked closet? Also Mel Gibson and Joaquin strike me as a strange choice to play farmers.
Why were the aliens there? To take over all the farms? Water is deadly to them and yet they land on a planet that is covered in 3/4 of it. I would think they would want to stay away not to mention the fact that you never know when it is going to rain. I guess their technology missed that little part.
