Not AS Bad As Others May Think...

Rating: 7/10 (13 June 2008)

Opening day, and I just got back from seeing "The Happening"! All in all, this wasn't as bad of a movie as people say. I'm a positive person, so I prefer to talk about the positive things.
Music: I'm starting with the music; Absolutely lovely. The music in this movie damn near MADE the film. M. Night normally has wonderful music in his movies, and this one made me remember the main reason I loved "SIGNS". Personally, every movie has to have very good music, because without music, the film would be very... well, "Dull and lifeless", and because I absolutely loved the music in the movie, I talk about it first and it really deserves a great applause.
Plot: Okay, honestly, I really enjoyed the plot of this movie. It's the first I've really seen (Now-A-Days) that has to do anything with plants and isn't exactly TOO out there. This is more based on, so called, "Realistic Intelligence". Plants and nature do have more abilities then the human mind can understand. Because this goes in a nice world of sci-fi, it makes a really skilled plot and frightening aspect of how we treat nature. I love stories that go way out there, instead of lame war movies, where everyone knows what's gonna happen, and other movies that once again star Adam Sandler. The whole thing with the plants has got me a little tripped out. Plants doing something to make us kill ourselves? Seriously, who couldn't be at least a little curious to see it? All in All, it's a small review, but I don't wish to spoil much. Either way, it's not really a waste, it's indeed a splendid film!
