Da-DAAAH!
Religious faith triumphs over all!!! Aliens are poison-gas producing, evil creatures who like to terrorize sick children!!! All the children in the movie are sickeningly cute!!!
Need I go on? Mel Gibson did his usual good job, but otherwise the movie was cliché piled upon cliché. The movie has gotten plenty of favorable critiques, but I can't imagine why. The director has made one good movie I know of ("The Sixth Sense"), but his follow-up efforts were not particularly outstanding -- which means they should stop trying to entice people to go and watch his other movies. Maybe this WASN'T the worst movie I've seen in years, but it was close.
