Best movie of the year

Rating: Null/10 (5 August 2002)

The new century's Spielberg -- Shymalan -- does it again with "Signs." Make no mistake about it, it's one of the best movies of the year. I won't go into any details about the movie except for this: The movie is a movie about Armageddon, about demons assaulting humans due to a lack of worldwide spirtuality that currently dooms our society. These "demons" - posing as alien invaders - do their best in a midnight assault to take as many humans as they can with them, but a rediscovery of our faith in God (including the weapon that defeats the aliens that comes out of the Middle East, which so happens to be the birthplace of Christ himself) overcomes this assualt on humanity, with love for family and a faith in religion winning through in the end. Our society today - which mocks God at every turn - should think twice about the consequences of a Godless society; the total breakdown of morals and values that would come about in such a society.
Signs continues to displays M. Night's expanding skills as a director/writer, and I can't wait to see his next film.
9/10.
