Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs...

Rating: 7/10 (2 August 2002)

Well, this one was a little different from what I expected. It had some very suspenseful moments, but not as many as I would have liked. Most of the movie was spent on character development and non-spooky plot development. Turns out, there were far more humorous moments in this film than suspenseful ones. However, this doesn't really take away from the movie. It was entertaining throughout. Very well written, acted, and directed. You may be disappointed if you are expecting a pure suspense movie though. I have to admit I was. My rating: 7/10.
***SPOILERS*** DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE
Just wanted to nitpick about the ending (as I'm sure half the reviewers already have). First of all, it's just not too believable that the aliens' weakness would be water, the SOURCE OF ALL LIFE!!! Secondly, if the aliens were planning on invading a planet that is covered in 2/3 of THEIR WEAKNESS, don't you think they could at least wear a watertight suit?? Well, just having one minor flaw in the plot doesn't really ruin the rest of the movie, which was quite solid, so no penalty points for the plot hole, but you have to think, did the writers truly think that no one would question how credible that plot point was?
