Awful. Just a terrible, terrible, terrible abomination of a film.

This may go down as the worst experience I have ever had in a theater. Period. Any genre. What a waste.

Literally - nothing happens. There was no "tie-together" M Night moment. There was no resolution. There was no character depth.

There wasn't really...anything. At all. I am still bewildered. I HAD to have missed SOMETHING. There is NO WAY that a movie can possibly be so UTTERLY PATHETIC.

There is no matter of opinion on this one. It is an awful movie. Do not see it if you value money or time.

Sarcasm, I presume? Considering that nothing was explained whatsoever?

the explanation was self evident. Unless you're a fucking idiot, then nothing needs to be explained.


the movie was just terrible. terrible acting, terrible plot. I wouldnt put it as the worst movie ive seen though.



there is some truth to what m night is trying to get across. he mixed it in with some twilight zone shit but it just didnt fly.

Really? Please explain it. And do remember to account for the many inconsistencies with regard to the neurotoxin answer.

The plot according to wikipedia:

***SPOILERS DUMBASS***

Quote :
"A pandemic of unknown cause is spreading across the northeast of the US, mysteriously within well-defined borders. Victims experience loss of speech and physical disorientation; they freeze, and then unfreeze to commit suicide: people jump from buildings, shoot or hang themselves, one feeds himself to lions in the zoo, some cut themselves with a hairpin, barbed wire, glass, or a grass mower, drive into a tree, etc. The initial assumption that it is a terrorist attack is abandoned.

Once these events start to get noticed, the protagonist, science teacher Elliot Moore (Mark Wahlberg), his estranged wife, Alma Moore (Zooey Deschanel), Elliot's best friend and colleague Julian (John Leguizamo), a math teacher, and Julian's eight-year-old daughter Jess (Ashlyn Sanchez) try to evacuate the city. They travel by train until the train stops at a small station in western Pennsylvania, and train services are discontinued.

Julian separates from the group , trying to reach his wife, who was taking a bus to Princeton. He requests Elliot and Alma take Jess along; they agree. Julian gets a ride from a family escaping. Once they arrive in Princeton, they see that the town has been affected and find people hanging on trees. The driver, who is affected by the toxin from a tear in the car's sunroof, suddenly crashes into a tree. Julian survives the crash but, also affected, he slashes his wrists with pieces from the windshield.

Meanwhile Elliot, Alma, and Jess get a ride with a couple, of which the man explains his theory that the plants attack people as a defense mechanism. At a crossing cars with fleeing people from all directions meet. A soldier, Pvt. Auster, takes charge, and advises people to proceed on foot. Elliot, Alma, and Jess are accompanied by another group of people. Later on, Auster is affected by the toxin, and proceeds to kill himself. The group that was following Auster also proceed to do the same. Elliot's group, who are now aware of the toxin, start to run and split into three groups. Elliot, Alma, Jess, and two boys stay together until the two boys are later shot and killed by a deranged man living in a house which the group tries to enter to get some food.

Elliot deduces that plants and trees produce an airborne neurotoxin when the number of people that are present is larger than a threshold, and also that this threshold is decreasing with time.[1] Finally even isolated people are affected. Elliot, Alma, and Jess can stay in a house of a woman who lives an isolated life. However, she gets suspicious of them and tells them they have to leave the next day after she wrongly accuses Elliot of stealing. After arguing with Elliot, the woman goes outside and gets affected by the toxin, kills herself. When they realize they have to stay inside, Elliot is in the house while Alma and Jess are in the barn. They prepare to die and have a last conversation through a speaking tube, but then go outside to meet, to die together. However, the pandemic is suddenly over, and all three survive. They adopt Jess (Julian's wife has died as well). Three months later, with Alma being pregnant, there is a new outbreak in Paris."


That sounds fucking stupid.

Thanks 86, I had planned on seeing this movie but wasn't sure if I wanted to risk wasting the money and time. I saw Signs and The Village so I this would have been strike three.

I refuse to believe that was two hours just to say, "be nice to the environment."

Even the most tree-hugger of filmmakers could not waste so much time.

^ Signs was excellent. The Village was okay. This was nowhere close.

The ending of Signs was way too cheesy to let it go, I'll admit that the first 2/3 of the movie was really good.

I went to see it with a big group of friends, and they all came out saying, "Man, that movie was really awesome."

We aren't friends anymore.

The Village is the worst example of storytelling in a major motion picture I've ever seen. The water thing in Signs is just goddamn stupid, but it's a copout to end a film that's almost over long and I can deal with that. Trying to scare us with a monster for 20 minutes after you've just shown us that the monster is fake is fucking awful storytelling that would frustrate a preschooler.
