Weak cliche - SPOILER

Rating: Null/10 (2 May 2003)

The acting and directing were top notch. However, the crux of this movie appeared to revolve around the journey of faith in Mel's character. The premise of "man of the cloth suffers tragedy, loses faith, experiences something great, regains faith" is so cliche it is nauseating. How many times has this been done already? Geez.
Whatever else that went on with this movie was lost because we just don't need another one of these spiritual journey movies. Besides, if the aliens didn't like water, they might not be running around our planet totally -----naked-----. Next time, think poncho.
