The ultimate downfall of M Night Shyamalan

Rating: 2/10 (29 June 2011)

Before watching this, I remembered people saying that this was poor. So I kept that in mind before watching it. I then watched this with friends on DVD and what a waste of time it was.
The story had a very good start to it, but as the film went on, it just got ridicules and laughable. The virus spread through green life and the wind.There could have been a much better reason than that The filming and cinematography were great, I'll give you that.
The characters were utterly pathetic. That was the most annoying element to the film. I cant believe Mark Whalberg took the role. Because during moments in the film when times were stressful, for example, when the characters were trying to get a car from someone. The person tried to drive away while Whalberg was trying to get him to take him and his family with him. Whalberg was trying to convince with most pathetic tone of voice and calmed expression. This would not happen in real life at all.
Also, about the characters, when they find out how the virus spreads, where do they chose to stand? in a green field. Seriously, you must be joking.
The acting was pretty bad. Maby its just because of their characters were atrocious.
The only thing that gave me a bit of the shivers was the psychotic old woman living in the house by herself. I'm pretty sure that was used so many times in other movies.
I'm quite glad there was little use of special effects to make the film affective but you can't get over how bad the film gets.
I love M Night Shyamalan older films, The Sixth Sense, Signs and Unbreakable. Hated The Village but Lady in the Water was pretty good though. Haven't seen Last Airbender yet though.
This film really is his carer downfall, please don't bother wasting you're money on this. But I really recommend you his older films though.
