Ignorant people!

Rating: 10/10 (14 January 2003)

It really gets up my nose when people beat down what is obviously one of the best and well directed films of 2002. I have already written a positive review of this film but there is one point which is annoying me. This so called 'plot hole' about why the aliens would attack a planet which is 70% water.
I'll tell you why. Does anybody know what they are allergic to until they are exposed to it? No. Only upon exposure do you learn that it is harmful, possibly fatal. Therefore, when they do learn that it is fatal to them, they do the rational thing, leave.
This movie was frightening, though provoking and above all, very entertaining. Maybe those out there who are reared on 'MTV rubbish' won't appreciate such a well crafted film, but those among us who prefer the film maker to treat the audience with a bit of respect and intelligence will.
10/10
P.S. Gibson has never been better.
