At first, I was intrigued by the plot but unfortunately much of the important factors in this film were overlooked like directing, acting and of course the storyline itself. Somehow the ending did not make much sense to me. The idea for the film was fantastic but was not well executed. How disappointing!

This movie blows , it makes absolutely no sense, Marky Mark has really let me down lately in the film department and this movie (along with "max pane") is the proof. I won't waste any more time on it.

This movie was awful. Cheesy acting, cheesy storyline, and cheesy ending. I would never have expected this from M. Night Shyamalan. Very disappointed. Do not pay to watch this movie. It's not even worth the rental price.

A fairly good movie, but I didn't like the scene with the two teens getting shot.

This was pretty rough. I watched the DVD because the trailer had me a little curious but the reviews stopped me from seeing it in theatre. Good move on my part and thanks for this site! Weak writing (the dialogue could have been written by a 6th grader), weak plot (enviro-morals), weak acting (Wahlberg's wife was incredibly annoying), weak music/soundstage. The one redeeming quality is that the overall feel of the movie is a lot like a nightmare where the series of events don't really make sense. Particularly where the people run away from the wind because it has the "toxins" in it. Naturally Marky Mark's character figures it all out when real scientists can't. But I don't think that was the point. I bet M Night would take this one back if he could. It was probably just meant to be weird and it was but I do not see many people really enjoying this movie. My wife liked it much better than I did.

This was the slowest, most stupid movie ever. I can't believe Mark Walberg wasted his time and reputation with this one.

I don't know what's wrong with Shyamalan because he's usually good, but the movie is filmed like it's an amateur who did it. The acting is AWFUL!! Just horrible... Zooey Deschanel did one the most annoying performances I've seen since in a while. Even Mark Walberg was not at his best... The main idea, and the message the movie wants to send is good and it could have been a good movie because of that message, but the director just didn't make any effort, and it sucks.
