The Signs are there now are you whilling to listen to them?....

For over 1,000 years stories of beings from another world have been told to countless generations through writing and art. But the real question is it true? Or is it all an elaborate hoax, a fairytale to put us to sleep at night or give us something to watch? Whether they are real or not has always been in question and truthfully we may never know the answer to our constant questions. But after almost 60 years of films that exploit and tell of alien invasion or aliens visiting our world and trying to offer us help but we instead out of fear try and destroy them, but no matter how you twist it or how you play it out on screen we will never know enough about them to fully understand and comprehend there intentions if they did come to our little world. M. Night Shyamalan's "Sings" does not exploit them or make them an instant enemy but instead slowly but surely let's you see the film's character's and you come to the conclusion of there hostility and does that make this film different from any other invasion film? No. But what makes it different and unique is the fact that you never really see the space craft's, you never see much of the aliens except for some scattered glances. It is a trick Shyamalan uses to build the tension until it finally explodes in the climax. It's not a slick exploitation or a cheap CGI fare with wall to wall action and violence, but what "Signs" is an old school paranoiac Science Fiction thriller that boggles the mind and will leave you breathless.




"Sings" is not like allot of Science Fiction films these days as most today try and build upon non-stop action sequences, flimsy plot's and scripts and horrible acting and dialogue. But while some of them are good intentioned they don't impress or wow modern audience, modern audiences want Science fiction that can please, wow and while doing that capture your imagination. M. Night Shyamalan's "Signs" does just that it pleases you, wows you and captures your imagination and your heart as an added bonus, Shyamalan does not just make movies that thrill you and give you the chills he also puts deep rooted emotion and very memorable characters in all his films, but is that the main reason for "Signs" success? Or is it because this film has such a draw and naturally and creepy appeal to it? The answer to both questions is yes. But that is my answer to how I felt about "Signs" the answer to the questions I offered or any question you may come up with are for you and you alone to answer. The truths about aliens is a very mysterious and elusive question that we may never get an answer to, but "Signs" attempts to give us a few answers to our questions now the real question is what do you believe?




Mel Gibson turns in a great emotional performance as the head of the Hess family, Graham Hess what makes Gibson so perfect for this role is that he has the right attitude and style to play a character like this. Gibson doesn't hold back on the audience he lets it all out, he cries, he acts corny, he acts serious, he acts scared etc. If you can name it Gibson puts it out there on the screen for you to see. But Gibson isn't the only player that gives you one amazing show a young Abigail Breslin is a huge contender for Gibson, Breslin shows even at such a young age that she had tremendous talent and skill and puts on a great show making her one of the heavy hitters in this isolated Sci-Fi masterpiece. While Joaquin Phoenix and Rory Culkin are good and try hard but come out a little flat and bland but they can be easily overlooked by the interplay between all the other cast members which helps turn it from average to great.



M. Night Shyamalan's "Signs" may not impress many and it may leave others feeling like they've been robbed of the huge and explosive Sci-Fi thriller they came for and if you think that then you have truly missed the point. This film is not simply a Sci-Fi thriller it is also an emotionally wrenching drama a look at family in the midst of loss and how they come together to fight a mysterious force from another world. "Signs" is a feverish paranoiac thriller ride that doesn't seem to let up from the ominous opening to the heartfelt and startling finale, it delivers on the fears of all families and people across the world with it's tale of doom in small town America.
