Bad Acting - but hey... the story is original and I liked it!

Rating: 8/10 (2 January 2019)

Okay, y'all. The fact it's an M. Night Shyamalan film should have given you the clue that it was not going to be that great and shame on you for thinking other wise.
But I will admit, I was surprised.
I'm not a big fan of Mark Wahlberg's role and of the many actors on this film, but there was something eerie that I thoroughly enjoyed. Plants killing people.
The opening of mass suicides was great, but then you got the roller-coaster effect of bad acting and character development, only wishing that another suicide can happen and you're feeling the horror bug exciting you up, once again.
But there was that moment, and if you are into science like I am. You would definitely appreciate the combination of science and science fiction that Shyamalan created and presented that the possibilities that plants can and will evolve to protect itself from further harm, from human beings (such as pollution and deforestation). Which is scary, I think. Like any life form, human or not, it will find a way to defend itself.
In the words of Dr. Ian (Jeff Goldblum, from Jurassic Park),
"LIFE WILL FIND A WAY".
