Worst....Movie......Ever!!
14 years ago
Ok so today I was subjected to watching the movie "signs" Now I know it’s an oldie and I've always heard mixed reviews but MY GOD
****Spoiler alert****
So get this. Aliens are planning an invasion of Earth but they do it by broadcasting their actions by leaving massive crop circles all over the planet. Immediately this detaches you from the main characters (Mel Gibson plays a jaded priest after the loss of his wife in a car crash). Then, when they finally get here it turns out they are only here for us (slaves or to harvest organs or something like that (I lost interest about this point).
Now this is the crux of the movie.
When being written the story teller musta gotten bored because, get this, the aliens; despite having the technology to travel TRILLONS of miles across the cosmos only have the ability to spray gas as their primary weapon (requiring close contact as opposed to lazers or guns etc). Then when they do decide to write their weakness it's, get this (and I'm not making this up) WATER!!! Hold on the planet is made up of two thirds water!!
This is the equivalent of spraying marks on a bakers 2 weeks ahead of a break-in then discovering you are allergic to flour. I mean, all that travelling and no idea about the 2 most abundant elements (Hydrogen and Oxygen (Helium as well, but let’s not get pedantic)) in the universe and they didn’t think about water!?
The special effects are awful and the acting is just plain diabolic. There is no empathy with ANY of the characters and in the end you feel more association to the aliens than anyone else.
Has anyone else seen this movie and thought the same?
What an utter piece of twaddle this is and (is it only me) but most new films seem to follow the same path
Comments and opinions welcome
