It's Blowing in the Wind

Rating: 10/10 (12 October 2008)

I think this is M. Night Shyamalan's best movie since "Signs". Frankly, I don't understand all the controversy about "what the problem is". It is the planet, using the wind to manipulate the plants which are spreading toxins they have made to eradicate their worst enemy - humans. Humans have been systematically destroying the planet and the planet is fighting back. Why should the characters know all the answers? We expect our protagonists to be smooth and know everything and to save the day. Why do we not accept that the characters are flawed and human and do not know all the answers? The cinematography, the soundtrack, and the editing all help to escalate the sense of panic in the story, which is what makes a good story. Learn a little about screen writing before you criticize one of the best screenwriters of our time.
