A Shyamalan Shocker That Has A Horrabily Stupid Ending.

Rating: 5/10 (26 August 2006)

I must admit that this film did have me on the edge of my seat because it was scary, fun and well written, however Shyamalan end this movie with the worst twist passable. " Water burns the aliens skin". I mean what the hell was that. Alien = intelligent life form ... erm lets invade a planet with more water than land and where its inhabitance are 70 percent water ....... i mean what the hell was he on. Normally i like his twists but this 0mg its just so stupid. lets get onto a different subject shall we. Acting - Mel Gibson does a amazing job as usual but sadly Joaquin Phoenix did a really bad job. He put no effort into his character but i never think he does. This Movie isn't horrible but it isn't great. I really wanted to give this movie a 6/10 but that ending, just oh god. If you happen to come across this movie in a rental store and your looking for some good clean scares i say rent it but be ready for that vile ending. Also if your a fan of Mel Gibson fan i'd say give this movie a shot but don't be expecting a masterpiece. Shyamalan hasn't done himself any favours here. My Faverite Shyamalan is the village.
