This movie blows , it makes absolutely no sense, Marky Mark has really let me down lately in the film department and this movie (along with "max pane") is the proof. I won't waste any more time on it.

This movie was awful. Cheesy acting, cheesy storyline, and cheesy ending. I would never have expected this from M. Night Shyamalan. Very disappointed. Do not pay to watch this movie. It's not even worth the rental price.

A fairly good movie, but I didn't like the scene with the two teens getting shot.

This was pretty rough. I watched the DVD because the trailer had me a little curious but the reviews stopped me from seeing it in theatre. Good move on my part and thanks for this site! Weak writing (the dialogue could have been written by a 6th grader), weak plot (enviro-morals), weak acting (Wahlberg's wife was incredibly annoying), weak music/soundstage. The one redeeming quality is that the overall feel of the movie is a lot like a nightmare where the series of events don't really make sense. Particularly where the people run away from the wind because it has the "toxins" in it. Naturally Marky Mark's character figures it all out when real scientists can't. But I don't think that was the point. I bet M Night would take this one back if he could. It was probably just meant to be weird and it was but I do not see many people really enjoying this movie. My wife liked it much better than I did.

This was the slowest, most stupid movie ever. I can't believe Mark Walberg wasted his time and reputation with this one.

I don't know what's wrong with Shyamalan because he's usually good, but the movie is filmed like it's an amateur who did it. The acting is AWFUL!! Just horrible... Zooey Deschanel did one the most annoying performances I've seen since in a while. Even Mark Walberg was not at his best... The main idea, and the message the movie wants to send is good and it could have been a good movie because of that message, but the director just didn't make any effort, and it sucks.

I am glad I waited to see this one at the cheap theater. Too gruesome for me.

This movie was pretty good, it was just not your average movie, so people don't know what to think... it may be unrealistic, but worth seeing... it wasn't quite what I expected. It wasn't bad, just different.

I think people are a little harsh on M. Night. He tries to encrouch on a variety of topics and re-invent them. In ths case human relationship with its environment. That being said Wahlberg's acting and watching people committ suicide isn't entertaining.

Starts off OKAY but quickly turns into utter and complete nonesense. Being a giant fan of M. Night Shyamalan, it was an awful and total letdown. The worst feeling I had (or could ever have) while watching this movie was to not care at all what happens to the characters and that's exactly what happened to me. I so just didn't care anymore, I just waited patiently for the end credits. I thought The Day After Tomorrow was dumb for having a scene where they outrun the cold but in this one, outrunning the wind seems even dumber. There is not really a 'reveal' in this one but when you figure out what's going on, it's just totally preposterous rather than deep, profound or even shocking. Even more stupid (and this is something we see from time to time in movies like this) is when the entire fate of humanity appears to be on the brink, and yet the main characters decide to focus 100% of their attention on their failing relationship. UGH! I could understand if they decided to copulate in fear of it being their last few minutes on Earth, but to actually waste time arguing over who squeezes the toothpaste the wrong way is just absurdity to the tenth degree. If I ever find myself on the same crashing plane with the director, I'm going to mention that he still owes me $1.60 towards the breakfast bill we split the week earlier. The only reason I don't give this movie the worst possible rating ever is that Mark Wahlberg's performance is SO BAD that it's actually funny at times. "Could this really be... happening? " OMG!
