good stuff, a decent little sci-fi flick. not your typical popcorn movie...focused on story-telling, dialogues, acting, characters...

better than Lady in the Water...my rating, 3.5/5

This is probably a gamble of sort for Shyamalan. After Lady in the Water, i think everyone expect him to orbit a little lower to earth.

I do enjoy the Happening but this is not his best work nor anywhere near his best. Just an average Shyamalan (if i compare to 6th Sense and the Sign). The ending takes a lot for someone to just accept it. I think everyone must be expecting some twist or some kinda explanation but what was offer does a take huge dose of belief...!!!

After Lady, I do expect Shyamalan to come back stronger. I don't see The Happening as boring or plain stupid but its just an average movie recycling The Sign's plot but a new adversary. I do enjoy watching Shyamalan play out the human drama and his dose of odd comedy.

This film was on my "2008 Must Watch List"...

then... came the poorest of poorest reception...

even Mark Wahlberg isn't too delighted...

I'd rather go watch Hulk. Wait, I just did, over this film.

this movie is good for the thrilling type of storyline. If you look for actionpack, don't bother. It is more on storyline, and observing how different type of people handle in situation like this. I found it abit similar like 'the mist' or 'cloverfield', minus the monsters part. And the ending really quite a twist for me.

Give it 4.5 out 10, for the storyline. Sadly it's dull movie abit.

i wished that John Leguizamo's character has more screen time, kinda funny seeing him in a serious role but he nails it!,if the movie had a better ending i would have give it an 8/10...but sadly...sad.gif, it left alot of things unexplained...
oh yea Mark Wahlberg's character was very convincing too...

M.Night Shyamalan is Genius.
His idea is marvelous. The message the movie trying to pass to us is, human not very care about the nature until some day the plant also feel threat from the human being. That is why the plant is releasing some kind of chemical in the air to kill human.

Its not that boring movie if you like sci-fi movies.
I personally think the movie was alright

It's quite interesting when finding the reason why the people are dying without reason.
