If you had no problems with "Unbreakable" you might like

Rating: 2/10 (2 September 2002)

To me this film suffered the same problems "Unbreakable" did, which were many. First off, you take a fantastical story such as super heroes and alien invasion and you try to spin a human side to them. It's repectable in theory, but both of these offerings failed to capture an interesting home life with it instead feeling shallow and prefab. Then to make it more clever, just as the action is reaching its denouement, we switch in even closer so as to avoid showing the audience anything interesting. The world is supposedly run amock with thousands of aliens and we get a standoff with one. I don't need big flashy effects, but it honestly seems like a not so clever Ed Wood trick to save money.
At least to me anyway, the first part of Unbreakable was better. This one seemed much more excrutiating. I was 30 minutes in going...gee I wonder if the daughter's problem with water is going to come to be something important later... We are not stupid.. we don't need something drilled in with a power tool. Please help me get this piece of junk out of the IMDB's top 250. A list for movies of a slightly higher caliber.
