Hmmm... plot not working for me

Rating: 3/10 (12 July 2008)

I watched this film not too long ago... And wow.. just wow.. This is maybe one of the worst movies I have seen in quite a long time... The worst part of it was possibly the acting. While I actually think mark Wahlberg usually does an okay job... my god he didn't do it this time, and neither do any of the other actors. The best acting was probably by the construction worker early in the movie. other than that, the actual plot is just silly, and it seems like Mr Night knows just how unbelievable it is and tries to make it more believable by making people mention things about plants and the human energy time after time... It simply seems misplaced a lot of the time. The final moral about trying to be more careful about the way we treat our planet is all good and well.. but is kind of old and really doesn't save this movie. The one good point it did have was that it is rather scary and suspenseful I was certainly kept on the edge of my seat until the end.. so it does deserve a rating of 3 for that.. but other than that.. it's bad, simply put. sorry. But don't watch it, even for a laugh.
