I love to see this movie! ^_^ The tension is so high, and it made me tense and diguise hi hi. As i said before i was excited to see the movie. And though i don't recognize other cast than Mark Wahlberg, it still a nice movie. The tense and surprised element were high but not too much. Their acting is also quite natural And like any other Shyamalan's movie, the end is also twisting. But not to twisting that made me complained he he he. Well, basically the story is simple, a run away journey of a family that try to avoid something that they don't know. What i disguised is the killing scene, it very harsh and quite sadistic for me, you can see people hanged by a rope, slicing his vein, and even crushed by a landmow!! What a horrible way to die, hikss. Almost the same with The day adter tomorrow, where there is no solution of the problems. And the funny thing was, when iwalked out, i saw a girl asked her friends with a very serious face, "What is the story about??" Wa ha ha ha ha ha ha, they demanded problem solving!
After watched the movie, i was thinking, isn't possible that someday the weakest creature like plants will do wny harm to us, since we have hurt them for decades. The message is deep, just don't mess up with nature or else, someday or sometime, they will strive and when it happens, i don't wat to be around ^_^.

Funny facts:
  • When Shymalan wrote the script, he only thinks about Mark Wahlberg playing as the main character
  • 85% of the movie is take place outside
  • The film took 44 days to shoot and 9 years after The Sixth Sense
  • This movis is rate R, due to so many violence scene
