Movie so bad I had to sign up to IMDb to complain

Rating: 1/10 (22 June 2010)

I won't comment on the plot holes of this one, which were abundant. In typical fashion of watching M. Shyamalan film I was looking for the unique plot twist from the get go. I swear the first half hour I thought the plot twist was that everyone were B-movie actors a la the "Truman Show". The dialog was so corny and the characters were used so blatantly to explain the plot and their emotions.
The "explain the plot to the audience" police character was a bit too much. It wasn't until they went into town and the army recruiter guy tells us the aliens are "probing" us with their crop signs I realized that the bad acting and HORRIBLE dialog was not a plot twist, but the signs of a director/writer with no critical ear.
That he appeared on screen in something quite less than a bit part seems to really prove that this director's ego has run amok. Sixth Sense was awesome, I really enjoyed Unbreakable, but it really felt like this movie was really hamstrung by his need to provide us with his surprise ending, which completely fell flat. The movie felt forced, the characters were completely 2 dimensional, the dialog was cliché.
Even the music for me was too much. It was an hour and a half of X-Files music, completely over-used so that any moments of real suspense felt mundane. Sorry, this movie was bad.
