Not Just a Thriller

Rating: 9/10 (29 August 2008)

M. Night Shyamalan is a fantabulous director with the ability to set a plot that is both breath-taking and mysterious. Each scene is significant and cleverly set up. He always adds a deeper, more intellectual meaning to the movie. For instance, although he does a great job with the frightening and suspenseful aliens that attack earth, the movie also contains a character (played by Mel Gibson) that loses his faith because of a death in his family. After, experiencing all of the horrifying events when the creatures come to their house, he discovers that things aren't just coincidences, but miracles and that God has a deeper purpose to everything that happens. This is an entertaining and thrilling movie. Get ready to have your muscles tense and your soul be emotionally moved.
