It's not about crop circles.

Rating: 9/10 (12 August 2002)

This movie is about so many things, that a lot of people will connect with it. Some will connect with the element of fear, others humor, and some will recognize the other struggles going on. All the characters have their own dilemmas, and like a painting we all take something different away from it.
Signs is entertaining, it has a Hitchcock flair to it. You don't get the easy "give-away" shots that you expect. Mostly though, you will be provoked to think about your own perception on life, and your choices. I came away asking which type of person am I?
This movie isn't an "Independence Day", it is a 1 hour and 45 minute long question about your self image and self-awareness. Do things just happen randomly, or is there a higher reason? If they do happen randomly - we should be very afraid. But then there are those that have more Faith than that, they have a quiet confidence, and a hope that carries them through the struggles of life. Be it a fire, disease, lost child, or even aliens - it's about Faith in God.
This is an excellent movie, it asks a question that some don't like to think about, and leaves no place for an answer. But it's not about crop circles...
