Be careful - the plants are out to get you.

Rating: 3/10 (13 July 2008)

Man has become a threat to nature and therefore it is time for payback. Plants have developed some kind of very sophisticated chemistry and it is being released in order to get rid of mankind. The chemistry works instantaneous and makes the affected very suicidal; There are some very spectacular and gruesome suicides in the movie.
Mark Wahlberg together with his girlfriend tries to escape from an infected area and we follow them from Philadelphia to a remote place in the countryside where they at last overcomes the obstacles they have in their relationship because they face death and this makes them realize how strong their feelings are towards each other.
The idea itself, that nature by some unknown defense mechanism is able to annihilate enemies is to me in a sense perfectly comprehensible. But not in the way that is suggested in the movie. Man is a threat because of various kind of pollution and plants would need the ability to "reason" to infer that this is caused by man and this is of course a ridiculous thought. Man itself, the individual, is not a threat and nature has no way of "knowing" where for example pollution or co2 comes from.
A ridiculous movie with a very tiresome epilogue.
