 Coolness: 88595 | What movie was it that they kill off the giant alien using Head and Shoulders because it contains mass Selenium which is basically that alien's euqivalent of Cyanide? |

| Coolness: 152960 | mico, i dont think, because we never see anything related to water in the new version, they just turn to stone-like after a few days, |

| Coolness: 152960 | yeah, officially no watery thing in the new version, only bacterias in the air. |

| Coolness: 150415 | There's a drop of water in the first 5-seconds of the movie.
(Foreshadowing) And you're right fred, it's the bacteria, plain and simple... "From the moment the invaders arrived, breathed our air, ate and drank, they were doomed. They were undone, destroyed, after all of man's weapons and devices had failed, by the tiniest creatures that God in his wisdom put upon this Earth." |

There are mentions of contraband of the triffid because of its high oil production and how a shot down Russian plane (with tons of seeds) might have caused the rapid spread of the plant. There's even a point where it's mentioned that humans have always thought of a "us versus them"; that what would defeat humanity would be an external threat, when it's been us all along. I liked that message. Obviously, they had to remove it :S The "comets" that caused the blindness were a "weapon satellite" made for such a purpose that malfunctioned. I don't want to see the movie, now. That and what you wrote a while back about the prisoners being the main part of the story = they completely fucked it up. As usual. |

| Coolness: 685545 | the prisoners weren't really the main part, they're just the only part that's similar to how 28 Days Later and Night of the Comet end up, but it's a pretty short scene that doesn't last too long. |

Sorry about that, I saw the movie recently ( thank fucking God for torrents ). I made sure to be as level-headed and neutral as possible. Still, here's my review ( btw, spoiler alert ) : - Sountrack : what's with the fucking boring soundtrack ? It sounded like a really tacky crappy 60s version of a Hitchcock movie. - Mark Walhberg : what the fuck happened to the energy of Marky Mark ? He whispered so damn much in this movie, I had to raise the volume to hear what he was saying. He's a good and incredibly gifted actor but he was as bland as humanly possible in this movie, again, adding to the boring factor of this movie. - Zooey Deschanel : her name is more entertaining than her role in this movie. Cue camera on her sporting a wide-eyed puzzled look, zoom slightly on her face, multiply by 10. - John Leguizamo : his role allows him to look at Deschanel like vermin as she is an evil adulterer, yet proceeds to leave his daughter in the hands of said adulterer to find his wife with instructions to " hold her hand only if necessary " as if she had some contagious form of cancer or something. I'm wondering who's the worse of the the two here. - Storyline : most uninspired and illogical turd Shamalayan has written. On THAT day, the plants in the northeast United States decided to rebel against humans. They gave each other the word to ALL RELEASE THEIR SPORES AT EXACTLY THE SAME TIME. Apparently, plants have watches, clocks, calendars and Blackberries so they could coordinate their attack simultaneously. I also suppose that american plants don't talk to canadian plants because that attack didn't even bother going north of the border. Plants in Canada speak a different plant language I suppose. Or Canadians aren't evil enough for them to kill us. - Suicide : the spores affect humans in exactly the SAME WAY, which is to make you walk backwards, speak gibberish and kill yourself. The affected parts of your brain won't allow you to walk properly or talk intelligibly but just enough to enable you to get to a gun, bend down, pick it up, cock it, put it to your temple and fire it. And no, don't worry : you will NOT have desires to kill others, just yourself. - Romance : was it fucking necessary ? Couple has problems, cataclysm kills people, Walhberg and friends run away and it midst of crisis, stops and starts accusing his wife of adultery. WTF ??? Maybe you should discuss this LATER, when you aren't running for your lives ? Also, FUCKING DUMB PLOT TWIST : oh noes ! 5 minutes before the end of the movie, we learn his wife is pregnant...and the movie ends. Wait, what ? What's the purpose of us knowing this ? The prospect of the child being born AFTER the crisis is averted will prevent me from sleeping properly for weeks. * rolls eyes * - Crazy lady alone in the house : why ? Aside from much needed entertainment from an otherwise really boring movie, that didn't add ANYTHING to the lacking storyline anyway. - Boom mike alert !!! Apparently, we see the boom mike twice during the movie ! I didn't see them. I must've been sleeping or sitting on the crapper at that point. Mr. Shamalayan :  |

 Coolness: 102720 | Gen,
I think that Mr.I-need-to-make-twist-at-every-movie-I-make-even-though-it's-crap was the Writer, Director, and Producer of the Happening. Since he has creative control over everything, he probably stifled all the actors' abilities. So i won't blame the actors for poor performance. Usually Producers would keep the Director in check... |
