more laughs than thrills.

Rating: 3/10 (27 April 2008)

very disappointing. i was contemplating on whether to blame the bad acting or bad script. i feel like its to draggy that the length of the movie was being forced upon. i think it would have been a great movie judging that the book was good, but the put-together was rather off. i did not like the religious lady, i kinda think she spoiled the whole thing. it was hard for viewers to follow the story because it was going in so many different directions. the actors were a lil too stiff for my liking, almost like they were timing for a person to finish his line so the others would start theirs. mood spoiler. didn't get to know how the creatures really came and what would vanish them, and what the storm has to do with their arrival. LOVE the old lady who threw a towel at the guy who was getting rope burns.. she is SO funny. made me laugh so much. and she threw a can of peas at the crazy lady preaching. i think i actually laughed more than i did feel scared and horrified. the ending is sloppy with no class. as a movie, i wouldn't recommend it but to do it some justice, it does contain some important messages. like religion (but a lil over with that lady), race (the black man who led other blacks out, after that i think there were no blacks left in the supermarket...i might be wrong), human rights, government policies (keeping such huge secrets from tax payers).
to sum it all up, one would still be okay passing this one. go watch a comedy instead.
