Stupidity is it's own reward

Rating: 3/10 (30 December 2005)

Or so it seems.
How Mr Night Shyamalan got away with insulting our intelligence in this way is beyond me. But he did, and he is handsomely rewarded with a rating of seven, four points more than this film deserves.
Signs attempts to mix science fiction with religious motifs, and fails miserably. The first half hour of the film is bearable as you can still maintain the illusion that it will actually lead somewhere. After that it rapidly goes downhill and becomes unwatchable for anyone with even a remote understanding of either physics, biology, combat or navigation. I've watched many bad films, but this one made me feel so violated that I had to write my very first review.
To be fair, this film isn't a total loss. It is worth watching if you are very religious, preferably the Gibson variety, and neither logic nor common sense interest you.
For all others: stay clear of this film or you will feel cheated afterward.
