Surely some1 else has seen this great movie?--It wasn't really what I expected, but it was scary, very humorous, actually, and plausible. It hit rather close 2 home since my sister lives in Bucks County PA and knows that farm--the town they were in was Doylestown 20 miles away from her house. I remember it well, especially a beautiful bar there called the Stone Door. Signs reminded me of a cross between Communion and War of the Worlds...The acting was outstanding! Again not really what I expected, but 4 2 hours it delivered it's message, hit home and was very entertaining. Gibson can b a very funny guy and scare you 2 death just by his reactions--Joaquin Phoenix's acting was mesmerising--as were the kids--if u didn't fall in love w/the little girl, by the end, u must have a hole in ur head , Fall Far and Well Pilots!<i></i>

I thought it was an absolutely fabulous movie. One of the best movies I have seen in a long long time.

I really liked it .. we went to see it last saturday .. we also didnt know what to expect .. but were glad to have seen it .. and yes the little girl was adorable!!

both of the kids were ..

but plausible???????????????

you have got to be kidding???? why would aliens afraid of water come to THIS planet .. the water planet????

that was silly ..

I loved the acting .. the movie was engaging .. it was highly entertaining and a credit to Shyman whatever his name is .. but the plot/story line was a little wanting imo ..

otherwise 8/10 health and healing<i></i>

I find it more puzzling that they can't get through locked doors more so then coming to a water planet.

to me it was a fundamental contradiction

and yeah I guess they didnt have the keys either .. and they preferred to subdue in inhabitants of this planet with their bare hands .. and they almost succeeded!!! like was there no unified resistance planned at all?? and .. and .. and ..

but there goes the plausibility arguement out of the window eh? health and healing<i></i>

If a bunch of freaky green aliens end up at your doorstep, and you have an organized resistance w/in a few days, call me! lol The dead pay the debts of the living. <i></i>

Fid! I regards 2 ur post I think those elements r so cool it kinda a return 2 The War of The Worlds. I love the saying on my Signs bookmarker (that I got at the conference, also got a Mothman Prophecies mini-poster!): Don't say they didn't warm us.!
