Signs...of a typical M. N. S. film.

Rating: Null/10 (6 August 2002)

Strike another mark for M. Night Shyamalan on the running success board! I heard before going into this movie that it wasn't that great and that I would leave the theater disappointed with the lack of ET references and a sudden ending. Those who haven't seen, or have yet to comprehend MNS's style are like those who still don't fully understand the genius of Picasso or E. A. Poe. Before going to this film, I would highly recommend seeing Sixth Sense and Unbreakable, MNS's other works of art. Get them on DVD and listen to the director's audio commentary. It explains so much as to the voice he uses in these films. Don't go into the theater looking for an Independence Day "shoot 'em up" with space ships flying everywhere. And DEFINITELY, don't look for a Mars Attacks crapolla-fest. Instead, look for the spiritual references of a man struggling with his faith and finding it while going through a world-wide crisis. I consider myself an agnostic when it comes to alien life; I believe in the possibility, but I have yet to see any real hard evidence of that existence. On that vein, so what if the alien looks like your typical man-in-a-rubber-suit? Who's to say what aliens look like? They may even look just like us. GO SEE THIS MOVIE!! You won't be disappointed.
