A New Movie From Shyamalan, And We'll Never Fully Understand It

Rating: 4/10 (23 May 2017)

That is the explanation for this movie to exist. It's one of Shyamalan strangest movies, and that's not exactly a very good thing.
A mysterious chemical virus or something like that makes the people that is affected to commit suicide. Here are involved a science teacher, Elliot (Mark Wahlberg), his wife Alma (Zoey Deschannel) and a friend of them (John Leguizamo). The story started pretty well and for the first 40 minutes or so it was interesting and despite some very stupid things of the script and some average acting it was good. But then they start trying to run away from the wind and the movie started to fall down and the last ten minutes were just awful (sad ending but no, it's a happy ending, no, wait, it's a bad ending. What's that?) The logic for explaining the virus that is a mystery of the nature and we'll never understand it and that's it. Probably Shyamalan didn't knew how to end the story and how to give it a reasonable explanation and came up with this.
The actors were at parts good, specially the main three, but at other parts were bad acting. (Mark Wahlberg talking to a plastic plant like it was going to answer him...) Zooey Deschannel has some good moments and she is beautiful, but a pretty face don'd make an actuation good. And well, all the extras were just useless. Also, was it necessary to add all the disturbing and graphic deaths? Some of you may like it but I found it at parts funny and at parts disgusting, but no serious.
On the good side I have to say that Shyamalan is still able to create tension and give the movie the feeling it needs by the camera work he is used to (despite here being less noticeable). And also the score by James Newton Howard, not as good as in other Shyamalan moments but still provides some very good moments.
In general this is a very entertaining and interesting movie until it reaches the hour of duration or so, where it falls down a lot, but I'm pretty sure that if you're a Shyamalan fan you will enjoy it at most of it.
