When all people in densely populated areas begin inexplicably committing suicide, a high school science teacher, tries to take his family as far from civilization as he can.
One might also refer to this movie as “stuff happening” because even at the end of the film, many of the events of the film remain unexplained, unless you consider the conjecture of various minor, and somewhat loopy characters to amount to a hogwash explanation. It’s like M. Night Shyamalan decided he wanted to do an experiment in existentialism. Or maybe he wanted it to amount to that cheeseball speech at the end of the film, as if he wanted to pretend to give a shit about the environment.
Still, as stupid as the movie gets at times, it has it’s touching moments, and I wouldn’t say it’s boring. Well, some of the dialogue is actually pretty clunky. I’d say this film is deserving of an average mark. It’s pretty bad for a Shyamalan movie though, and actually, it’s a lot like signs, minus the setups and twists. 3½ stars
