Didn't Stun Me as Much as Shyamalan's Work Previously has,

Rating: 6/10 (31 January 2015)

Signs is a mediocre movie with a fairly well developed storyline and a good cast that sadly didn't deliver as strongly as I hoped.After previously seeing the Sixth Sense and Unbreakable,I was expecting a lot from this,all of them being directed by M. Night Shyamalan,but this just didn't work as well as I had hoped,aliens seemed like a subject that he would have had a field day with,but the movie just didn't work out that well for me.I felt like the plot was trying to find itself the whole time,it wasn't sure whether it wanted to be a very character driven drama or a very gritty sci-fi,it jumps around from those two things way too often.I liked Mel Gibsons performance but he has certainly seen better days,however,Joaquin Phoenix performance was definitely the best and,though he wasn't in the lead,I still found myself caring for his character more than anyone else.A disappointing movie that didn't deliver as well as some of Shymalan's previous work,Signs has it moments but it's mostly a sci-fi that I feel people would be better off avoiding.
When alien crops herald the arrival of alien invaders,a former preacher must fight to save his loved ones.
Best Performance: Joaquin Phoenix Worst Performance: M. Night Shymalan
