INTERESTING CONCEPT, BUT..........

Rating: 3/10 (25 June 2019)

It's a very interesting concept that the flora of this planet has finally had enough of our egotistical, self centered, "know-it-all", destructive species and attacks with a little well-deserved payback! And, what more deserving a place to start than NYC, immediately followed by New Jersey! On the plus side, this movie offers a couple well-known, established and capable actors. There is an overall "quality" to the movie, not always found in offerings of this genre. It does follow one of the very basic rules of storytelling...it has a beginning, a middle and an end. That's about it for the positive aspects. On the negative side? Well, there are too many "negatives" to list here. Things just don't go together. In far too many instances, the physics don't work. There are too many scenes in which the elements work against each other, making those scenes "uncomfortable", consciously and subconsciously. Overall, it doesn't work! It was too obvious that M.N.Shyamalan was chasing the dragon and reaching for another jaw-dropping reveal, as in Sixth Sense! At least, it made money.....and THAT'S the name of the game!
