It's a thoughtful movie

Rating: 9/10 (5 August 2002)

*spoiler* In the movie Mel Gibson says there are two kinds of people, some who believe in miracles and some who don't. After reading some of the user comments in this forum, I would say there are two kinds of movie goers - some enjoy movies that have lots of special effects and a more exciting, longer ending (e.g. the villain only dies when you kill him twice), and some who enjoy movies that are created/directed thoughtfully.
Sign is definitely a thoughtful movie. The movie is all about tension build up and despite the rather short end movie climax, I was immersed in the story that was being told. People in the movie act logically. If it were directed by some other directors, Mel Gibson would definitely be holding a shot gun blasting aliens, and the climax could be a hurt Mel Gibson and a bunch aliens crawling on the kitchen floor, reaching for the rifle with only one bullet left.
I have stopped watching sequels of Halloween, Friday the 13th, Scream, etc for years, and this movie is a breath of fresh air in the horror/thriller movie genre.
