A Major Disappointment

Rating: 4/10 (30 July 2002)

After "Sixth Sense" and "Unbreakable" I had high expectations for M. Night Shyamalan's next product... I had free tickets to an advanced screening and it did not live up. Don't waste your time.
The first two thirds of the movie was decent. Most of the trailer material came from the early part of the move. I was expecting a thriller or shocking ending. What a disappointment.
******** SPOILERS **********
Major plot hole: aliens visit earth, they're intelligent enough to have mastered interstellar travel, but not smart enough to bring some raincoats. Come on... aliens you can defeat with a SuperSoaker(tm)! They came to conquer a planet and their only weapon is a tiny puff of poison gas?! These space flight capable aliens didn't bring anything with them strong enough to knock down a door?! And the final show down... what happened to the blazing speed the aliens had exhibited earlier in the movie?
This should have been called "Unbelievable".
