The Definition of Predictable

Rating: 1/10 (10 February 2008)

I will outline my thoughts in bullet points The beginning highlights the fact of a tree destroying a house - no explanation - when you realize it's related to the mist it does not explain how it happened and why it was so significant Normal chaos to the prototype stereotypical normal people and escalated too predictably.
Supermarket for safety theme has been done and in this movie was poorly percepted.
The things from the other portal planets where just pathetic. They really over emphasized the definition on aliens and the effects where rather old fashioned.
When the aliens break in the chaos is so pathetic it's funny. People try to light a mop on fire and as predicated, knock oil into the fire. People have trouble shooting stalling I can't write more I'm angry I thought I was watching alien when they started using humans as objects to give birth to their kind.
The idea of the military being at fault was far to obvious and seeming as though it was highlighted so much in the film they should have elaborated on it earlier.
The ending scenes were better as it became slightly more realistic in accordance with the situation.
I did not how he tried to reach for the gun and stalled when during that time he could have got out and taken the gun and driven away.
When they come across the giant bug the stare for a while and I noticed there normal birds. Um How? Did they survive that attack of the aliens? When he shot his friends and family it was far too obvious it was going to be the army. I said it before it happened and when it unfolded I laughed so much as I was correct with another predictable scene.
In summary, this movie takes the ideas and themes from other movies and has tried to roll it into one with the new underlying theme of a portal which constitutes the new theme for the movie. The only things separating this movie from other movies is the very fact of an alien portal. The have tried to make horror by old fashioned tentacles etc and big cockroaches. So dated My final thought is that this movie is the very definition of predictable and more importantly WHAT THE HELL WAS WITH THE MIST IT WAS NEVER EXPLAINED IT WAS SO IRRELEVANT.
I give this movie two points for effort and two points for trying to drag out the mist mystery - a good tactic for making people stay and watch until the end
