Which type are you?

Rating: Null/10 (15 March 2003)

PLOT SPOILER/EXPLANATION
The whole point of this movie is what kind of person you are. According to Shyamalan there are two kinds of people. It is about which of the two kinds of person *YOU* are. If you see something you can't explain - is it due to some divine intervention, or to mere coincidence? The "coincidence" people live by fear; the "something more" live by hope.
So this movie is not about aliens with ray guns who dissintegrate people and mankind fighting back to save the earth from total destruction. (Although there is a hint of that throughout the movie.) You end up having to assess all these events - whether they are crop circles or some such yet unexplained phenomena.
The lead character in the movie, Graham Hess (Mel Gibson) makes his decision. His wife died in a horrible accident only later... (see the movie).
While the movie is slow (because misleading advertising made it seem like another "War of the Worlds" action adventure movie) it isn't if you buy into the low-budget reality that this Shyamalan attempts here. 8/10.

PS: I came to faith not by signs - but by the realization that Christ *IS* real. After trying all other things, and feeling utterly empty, I came to accept Christ in my heart. Ever since then I have been filled by God's Word - His Son - my Lord, Jesus Christ.
John 4:13-14 (NIV) To a woman at a well,...
"Jesus answered, 'Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.'"
Numbers 6:24-26
"The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace." ...in Jesus' name, amen.
