Annoying technicallity

Rating: 3/10 (21 June 2008)

I'll not go into storyline discussions, there are currently over 300 comments already. Either you like it as a B-movie, were characters are in-perfect beings in suspense running from the unknown, untouchable and invisible, or you think the suspense mechanism used is ridicule and unbelievable.
My critiques is a technical one. Ever seen Out of Africa, where in one of the scenes you can see a black object hovering in the top middle of the picture? An incompetent sound recorded whos single job is to hold the microphone on a stick couldn't keep it up and the microphone hovered in view. That was 1985 and just once. "The happening" is 2008 and the the microphone dips into the picture 15-20 times through out the whole movie. I just hate it when a movie is trying to draw you into the story-line, trying to get you to the edge of your seat... and you see a technical error that reinforces the 'oh-yeah just some actors in front of a camera repeating their script-lines' feeling.
Seriously, did Mr. Shyamalan even looked at the movie after shooting the last scene? The microphone is so often in view that he could just as easily cropped the top 10 pixels of the whole movie.
Send back to originator and put some more effort in it next time.
