Loved it --- but I think you have to be a thinker.....

Rating: 8/10 (14 June 2008)

and not expect to be spoon-fed or expect a super-hero movie. Maybe the expectations for M.N.S were too high. Cut him some slack. It was a good movie with a great message. It requires some thought people. And if you actually can do that,you'll get it and realize what it is about and how subtle and powerful the movie and messages are. And how good the actors portray the knowledge of what they assume is the end of the world and their own mortality. No super-Herod. No super-honeybees. No riots in the streets or panic. Just the quiet knowledge that nothing was coming to save them this time. People that hated it expected that and should go see one of the super hero movies where the lines are black and white and can keep hoping for a savior at the end. This is not a black and white or good and evil movie. It is a shades of gray movie. There is no clear-cut right and wrong side. And I can understand the plants and trees getting their hate on. Watch them dump toxins in the river and then say you can't eat the fish from that river or burn down thousands of acres of rain forest a day. It doesn't take much thought to get into his head and think - why wouldn't the plant's, who all life depends on, say enough is enough. It's a fine plot for a thriller. It's a heck of lot better than 99% of the slash crap out and what does that say about the state of mankind and your movie dollar? So those of you that hate it and rated it a 1 star, it makes me wonder what you found so outrageous or horrible about it. No need to answer, I just find it amazing that you didn't like it. Especially those of you that got Signs and unbreakable. Those of you that didn't, it doesn't surprise me that you didn't get this one either. Anyway. It's a good movie and well worth seeing.
