TECHNICAL QUALITY: DVD
Thoughtful look at what Mankind is doing to the planet that suggests the Earth will respond by destroying human life. As with exploiting foreigners who come back to haunt you as terrorists, Mother Nature can only take so much expropriation before it retaliates in order to survive. The humans here suddenly develop a stronger-than-usual desire for murder and suicide that is filmed in director M Night Shyamalan's typically-understated style.
Where this film fails big time lies in the fact that although Zooey DESCHANEL is excellent as the unfaithful and somewhat eccentric wife, her co-star is unable to suggest any deep-seated emotional relationship to her that would make sense of their sexual relationship. This deflates our emotional involvement in the drama; rendering it no more than a series of oddly-devastating events reminiscent of The Day of the Triffids.
