Better Then Unbreakable, But Not Scary.

Rating: 9/10 (14 August 2002)

Well..I'll have to say I liked this better then Unbreakable. I thought Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix did an excellent job acting in this movie. I do believe the movie was a little misleading, as most people thought this movie would be about crop signs, but instead it was more about a family becoming stronger and a man believing in fate and his faith. The humor and suspense pretty much carried this movie through. They worked hand and hand, and kept you wondering what would happen next. (*Spoilers*) Once the alien was shown though, the suspense wasn't as high and I think the audience really wanted to see what was happening outside and around the town. The ending left a lot of things unexplained. Why did the aliens come and what had happen around the world. We only know that water hurt them and the military drove them away. The movie was still entertaining. I don't think it was boring (see The Time Machine..now that's boring). Thought there could have been more to the story then what was provided. Definitely worth a look.
