Mel Gibson stars in this M. Night Shyamalan flick (director of the Sixth Sense) about the human race being threatened by invasion of some really mean looking aliens. I couldn't help but to be slightly disappointed, because the plot lacked the same sort of twist Shyamalan used in his two previous films (The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable), but this one is just as intense. Actually, the film is more spiritual than anything. (I had a little tiff with the plot, but then again, I also had one with The Sixth Sense. Anyway, I won't tell you what it is, because I'd have to give away some of the movie, which I have no intention of doing! See it and complain about it for yourself! It's definitely worthwhile.)
