A CINEMATIC GEM BY FILM MAKING GENIUS M. NIGHT SHYMALAN.

Rating: Null/10 (23 August 2002)

This film is a spectacular cinematic experience from start to finish.
The music, cinematography, acting, dialogue, and most importantly, the
great display of human emotions are all superb. Signs stands out this
year - along with Road To Perdition - as proof that in an age of crowd
pleasing, conventional, stereotypical movies, quality film making can
still be seen and appreciated. M. Night Shymalan has proven himself to
be a true originator and a creative genius. Signs' strength lies in the
fact that it does not rely solely on special fx to deliver the ultimate
chills and how many movies can you say that for these days.
MINOR SPOILERS A message to those who saw this film and felt the nerve to question the
details of the plot: Keep in mind that this movie is considered to be
SCIENCE FICTION. Therefore, saying that it is totally unrealistic that
alien beings with disadvantages - water sensitive skin - would not come
to earth to invade is a waste of your brain power. It's called science
fiction because it's a twist on reality. It seems to me that you folks
have watched Independence Day one too many times and are pathetically
convinced that the only way aliens would consider invading earth is if
they are superior to us in every way.
