What a disappointment!

Rating: Null/10 (12 January 2003)

Based on the trailers for this film I was hoping for a really great story of alien intrigue, perhaps a cut above an X-Files plot line based on Shyamalan's reasonable but perhaps patchy efforts to date.
Boy what a disappointment. I'm beginning to wonder if I saw the same film as everyone else based on the votes here. The story was just a total mess and the character behaviour frankly not believable. The coincidences in the story were just totally meaningless and not backed up by any intelligence. They just seemed thrown in because they solved the lack of plot substance. I guess the actors can't be blamed, but they also seemed weak and not believable but I would put this down to poor direction.
In summary I was expecting so much and yet got so little. I hope Shyamalan works a bit harder on the story and direction for his next film.
I guess if you really don't mind poorly constructed plot and are a total die-hard fan of any story with UFO's and aliens in you *might* like this.
