OK but slow - typical Shyamalan

Rating: 6/10 (26 March 2006)

SPOILERS - I thought this show was about crop circles, a subject i think deserves a lot more attention than it gets. So i watched it but instead, it's really about an alien invasion and there are some glaring problems in how the story plays out. Many posters have commented about how silly it was for water-averse aliens to come to a planet teeming with water. That didn't bother me because the aliens were after the humans and apparently decided the water was just a problem to be avoided. What bothered me is how at the end of the movie, the aliens were able to break thru the boarded up windows and doors of the farm house but couldn't break thru the basement door to get at the humans they wanted. They tried for hours but couldn't do it!! And then there's that bizarre scene where Mel Gibson gets to talk to his wife who's been literally CUT IN HALF in a car wreck. Talk about nonsense.
Despite these liabilities i still give this a 6 cause i did enjoy the movie and it was suspenseful.
