Left the theater very unsatisfied

Rating: 1/10 (20 November 2002)

This movie had a chance to be really great, but unfortunately it wasn't. There were a few interesting plot twists similar to "The Sixth Sense" and "Unbreakable" but this time they rang hollow. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but if aliens are taking over the damn planet, I want to see some damn aliens. This movie tries to be an update on "The Night of the Living Dead" but unfortunately Mel Gibson is not good enough of an actor to pull it off and Joaquin Phoenix doesn't get enough to do. Do yourself a favor and pass on this one and rent the much, MUCH better "Unbreakable". 2 out of 5.
