The biblical over tones in this movie makes one think of getting right with God.

Personal qualms? Taking potshots now? It's laughable you are using the "mommy" insult.
That's the best you can come up with? Or maybe you think that'll affect me the most, either way it doesn't and it just showcases your extreme bigotry.
I'm being realistic not a cynical jerk. When I say Potter needs 300m, it fucking needs 300m. It's not as if inflation cannot be taken into account. And your Michael Bay insult is another pathetic response. So, I like his films, so what?
It's now wrong to do so? It's wrong to enjoy yourself? Cynical jerk, who?
Lastly, I really couldn't care about your proof that you don't do it all the time but sometimes. The fact you do it sometimes makes it true already. But, go ahead. This is pointless anyway since I couldn't really give a shit across the Internet.

It was preposterous and occasionally hilarious (unintentionally), but I have to give it one thing, it was pretty unpredictable, and definetely not afraid to go way beyond what one normally expects from a film like this. I enjoyed it overall, Cage wasn't that bad.

Jeff and John Savage should be hanging from the ceiling.

Anyway, this film is ridiculously stupid, aesthetically boring and cheap. However, I was drawn to the plot and was an enjoyable ride.

PS if you are going to go after coincidences, why don't you go after the stupider ones. because if you go for the bigger ones, what's the point of the movie. ie when they go up to a fence and somehow have bolt cutters on them.

4/10 -> D

The idea is really good. The execution not so much.

First of all the movie is endless. I haven't seen "longer" two hour movie ever I believe. The general atmosphere is good (and I was really unease with those stalkers before they turned out to be alien angels). It's hilarious and fascinating at the same time.

The ending is all kinds of absurd and makes the story of the movie completely unnecessary. If the list and the deciphering of it had no effect whatsoever on the predicted events, why bother with showing us anything? It's not like Nic brought the kids to the extraction point. The aliens kidnapped them to save them. They would do the same if the list was never there. It would be better if the whispers actually meant something or had a bigger effect than just finding the chosen ones.

There's a good story and a movie that goes with it in here somewhere. Hopefully this idea is recycled in a better way one day.

Bump...

...for Alex Proyas' (Dark City, The Crow) next movie finally being in pre-production!

A sufficiently decent first 45 minutes get wrecked by another hour that becomes increasingly more preposterous and less interesting as it goes along.
