Lots of suspense but weak plot....did I mention the plot?

Rating: 3/10 (18 June 2008)

The Good: The movies "style" was great. The filming techniques were very M Night-esk. I'll admit that my hands were over my face for a few of the scenes (due to the suspense). That is the only reason I gave it a 3.
As for the other 7 stars........
The Bad: I was embarrassed for Mark Wahlberg and his acting in this particular movie (and I like Mark Wahlberg). I think Shyamalan must have told him to act like an actor who's trying to act like they are in a small independent film for the first time.
I was so hoping that the "plant" theory was NOT going to be the real cause of people dying. I told myself, "no, don't judge the movie yet, it's not over. I'm sure M Night has something up his sleeve". Unfortunately he didn't have anything up his sleeve and went with the, "People are killing the planet, people are bad, plants are tired of being taken advantage of so now the plants kill the people (but just in the north eastern United State for now)".
The Ugly: Plant's get mad (check) Plant's communicate with each other (check) Plants quickly evolve to give off poison that only affects humans and NOT animals (check)
Plants now have the ability to create huge wind storms (at will) so they can disperse poison's into the air when groups of 5 or more people are around (che......? Wait a minute.....what the hell did he just say)?
Don't believe me, then go waste $9.00 at the movie theater for yourself like I did. Or better yet, wait till you can rent it for $3.00 and use the $6.00 you saved to buy a cheap bottle of vodka, but make sure you drink the said bottle before you watch the movie.
I'm mad at myself for seeing it.
