Good Story boring characters

Rating: 7/10 (10 October 2008)

I think this movie has its place among those which have to be seen but surely can be forgotten very fast.
The story is very similar to "Der Schwarm" a novel written by the German author Frank Schaetzing; veryvery recommended to read; in 2002 or something around.
Creatures of the sea become dangerous and produce toxics which seem to be able to kill all mankind. But then the planctonic algae decide within their metamorphic mind to let the humans live. It was just a warning to mankind not to destroy the nature especially the marine environment.
I think shyalaman stole the storyline, or maybe he bought it, and then transferred it upon the earth and into terrestral liveforms. Marc Whalberg and this woman with the big blue eyes, really acted as bad as Tom Hanks and the french actress in sacrileg.
So just seven points for this movie.
