The movie was excellent. Mark's play was brilliant. You should just have enough brain to understand the movie's message. Many people may not like it because it does not have these all special fancy effects. But I think that the effects do not make the movie. The most important thing is its context and message. I think people should listen to the warning of this movie, and should think a bit more seriously about the future and how they will leave this world for their children and the next generations. The movie deserves more attention; and instead of so much negative critics, people need to think and absorb what the movie is trying to say. If some of us have expected to see horror, sex scene

Here is one act of kindness for today - I am warning all unsuspecting viewers about the horrific blandness of this movie. Walk away - turn around and walk away.

I am a devoted fan of M. Night Shyamalan, but he really went "South" with this movie... Great concept, if it was developed a bit more, but poor dialogue, acting and to sum it up...the movie was just plain boring...

All of the best parts of this movie are the scenes that we saw in the trailers. It started off like a true thriller, but it went down hill from there. The acting was ridiculous. The best actor was Betty Buckley. Too bad the movie wasn't centered around her character..It might have actually gone somewhere.... Don't even get me going about the dialouge. This was even worse than Lady In The Water.

I was disappointed... I really like Mark Walhberg, but his acting was not so good in this movie. Zooey's acting was brutal...I didn't know if she was playing the part of a spaced out person or that her acting just sucked. In fact, the only good acting came from the little girl and the people that didn't have a big part in the movie. Sorry, but I wouldn't recommend going to see this movie...a waste of time (and I would have said a waste of movie, but I got lucky and didn't have to pay).
