Give me a break...

Rating: 10/10 (1 July 2008)

I don't understand why is everyone dissecting this movie under the microscope. I just don't get it. What movies do you people actually like?
If you take films witch are most similar to this genre, like I Am Legend, where mysterious virus turns everyone to vampires. All George Romero movies includes living dead people walking like there is no tomorrow. Both 28 afters, with their mysterious virus turning people into raging beasts. And the list goes on. Is it the action, or the CGI effects that justifies those movies? Are those movies better just because someone writes the script and someone else produce it, and other directed it? Give me a break! They are actually all lame, but who cares? We like them anyway!
M.Night Shyamalan is great director and that is a fact he proved more then 1 time. We can talk about it, agree or disagree about it, but that is all we can do about it! Is it bad that he likes control over his work? Come on!
What i really like about this movie is that he didn't produce another audience aimed blockbuster. There are no scenes of mass destruction, abandoned big cities or massive exodus of people. I believe that there are no CGI images. Is this really possible? And he done it so skillfully, that it is even more realistic. Why? Because what will we have at the end? Some government statement and media. That's it. They said that it's some terrorist attack. Maybe not. Who knows, for sure. Let's go to see mama on the countryside, because otherwise we can only lock the doors, windows and wait. This movie brings even some better and more disturbing questions, that we should ask. Do we have all the answers? Is it possible that the nature take care of us? Is it possible that behind this global warming madness, we actually forgot how small and vulnerable we are. Is it possible that there are things that, we never understand? Is everything on this planet about us?
I think this movie delivers great suspense, some images that you can't easily forget (at least I can't) and is pretty well executed and directed. It has great camera, edit and of course one of the best scores of J.N.Howard. What more you can have? I don't know.
I think this movie has more in it. And only time will tell.
