This movie was amazing!

Rating: Null/10 (10 September 2002)

I had heard a lot about this movie, both good and bad, and wanted to check it out for myself. I was so glad I went to see it and ignored all the bad reviews, cuz I thought this movie was fantastic. It was so scary- and you were constantly in suspense. At every second, you were just waiting for something horrible to happen. I was practically sobbing into my fiance's shoulder. And one thing that made this movie stand out from all the other alien, or scary movies, was that it had some depth to it. It actually ponders a greater issue- that is, if the world were to end, would you have hope? It really makes you think about that. It makes you realize how scary a world we live in, for those of us who don't have faith. And it really makes you rethink what you believe, when you're forced to face the issue. The acting was great. Mel Gibson was fantastic. Instead of the heroic character we are used to see Gibson play, he plays wonderfully as a man with great flaws, who is unsure of the future, and is in the midst of suffering. Mel Gibson is so versatile. Joaquin Phoenix and the children were awesome as well. I give this movie 41/2 stars out of 5. Go see it!!!
