Plodding rubbish

Rating: 4/10 (2 April 2005)

Another ponderous B movie dressed up as a quality film from Shyamalan. Sure enough he's well-versed in the language of film-making but his films are self-indulgent preachy nonsense. Making a slow paced film does not engender quality only boredom and predictability. Is there anything less scary than crop circles? Someone should point him in the direction of a decent editor.
Pope Mel further proves that he's a terrible actor when he's not doing comedy. No surprise that the king of self-righteousness stars in a film where a Christian has his faith re-affirmed by aliens without realising the dichotomy of the situation. Surely the presence of aliens negates the presence of a god. Let's face it, there is no god. That's a fact unless you can prove otherwise.
A polished turd.
