I really liked this film. It’s a bit slow in the beginning but if you stick with it, the reward is the rest of the movie. The director and author of "Signs", M. Night Shayamalan (who also directed "The Sixth Sense" ) is a great storyteller and has a gift for letting us know as little as possible about what is going on until he must let us in on what’s going on in the films he makes, this one included all the while the suspense builds. He latches on to the archetypal fears we have and uses them adeptly. He gives us a glimpse, but its not until the climax of the movie that we see with both eyes open and understand what he is telling us. It stars Mel Gibson as the main character, “a man of faith” who has lost his faith, Joaquin Phoenix as his steadfast brother and Rory Culkin and Abigail Breslin as Mel Gibsons' characters children, and M. Night Shayamalan as the towns’ Vet. It is a gripping and uniquely tightly packed story with more than what is seen but also a tale of relationships and the human psyche.Vollständige Rezension lesen
This movie (DVD) focuses upon an alien invasion but in a radically different way than most of this ilk. For example, you see no humans slain by the aliens. For those timid about actually seeing the aliens you have little to worry about. Still, there are a number of tense moments that keep the viewer fully engaged. And with excellent actors, several different themes are found throughout the movie to include faith issues, the belief (or lack thereof) of coincidences, etc. Overall, it's a great movie. I highly recommend it. BUT, watch it at least two times to capture its full message.

I love this DVD! I had it for years on VHS, but, as with all technology, things get obsolete I am a big fan of crop circles and the idea of alien contact and I would recommend this DVD to whoever likes the same scenario! This movie has an awesome cast with Great child actors that do an Awesome job with their characters! Wonderful plot and the ending is well laid out unlike some others that leave the viewer hanging and confused. I give it 2 thumbs up!

I thought this movie was kind of goofy when I first watched it but after several viewings I started seeing the deeper meanings and it's 2nd or 3rd fav of MKS's films. I thought little Abigail Breslin's character was awesome and the overall movie ranged from hilarious to deeply moving. I bought this used DVD because mine quit working and it was like new. Probably a 4-1/2 stars but rounded up since there are no half stars.

This was really a pretty good movie if you like suspense however the plot itself was rather thin and the ending unsatisfying. Think scary monster here, sort of like a typical kids nightmare. There wasn't much in the way of development, no techno-babble real military type weapons display of overwhelming force, etc.. In fact it was when you strip it down a very simple movie rather similar to an X-File episode in some ways! (The acting wasn't as good and not as believable if any of this sort of thing can be dubbed "believable"!! However it had it's scary moments & it was good to see Gibson do something else. They could have made this a real hit, but they didn't. Still, in all it beat alot of the really crummy stuff out there so I rate it a C+. See it whenyou run out of other things to watch!Vollständige Rezension lesen
