    If I judge this movie strictly by the trailer, and as someone who hasn't had the "pleasure" of seeing it, I'd have to say that the movie looks VERY interesting and THAT it'll definitely be great.

    Unfortunately, I have ACTUALLY watched this movie...Now, the only thing I have to, or CAN, say is that "the trailer is EXTREMELY deceiving."...An itriguing trailer doesn't justify a bullshit movie...I love our planet very much, but this movie doesn't make me want to save the Earth or "appreciate" it more. If anything, I now want to destroy the Earth, simply because it is inhabited by people who may actually like this "movie."

    well my opinion about this movie it was really good but there should be other end and good solution for that problem :) i loved the end thought and they should keep away the kids from death next time and i think theres other part of this , the most horror movie was the ring and its still on the top of my fav :)
    have fun all

    Creepy concept, ok movie, but confusing... This musta been a book before it was a movie. There are better movies to waste 90 mins on... ;-) Enjoy.

    I don't care if you think it was crap or not.

    I'm not messing with plants anymore. They might make me run myself over with a brush hog.

    well i was very excited to see this movie...but after watching it ...it is surely below expectations....although this movie is abt nature giving a warning......it could have been explained better...it was just abt ok not in the league of sixth sense and the signs...

    This movie has an extreamly boring storyline and doesn't make much sense. I don't know what sort of impact it was suposed to make but I was left wondering if it was suposed to be a scary movie, a drama or a comedy. I was not scared or moved at all in any part of the movie. The movie wasn't funny either with the exception of a few moments but it just seemed like a piss take. I wouldn't recomend this to anyone, unless you want to be bored to death.

    Well I liked it a lot. It was disturbing, made me anxious and made me laugh in some parts. Some ppl here under me review it as very bad, I highly disagree, this is a movie that should make ppl consider being better to nature since we have been poluting it; the author believes it could reveal someday. U never know...

    As opposite as it may be to MOST people.
    I loved the film! It was enjoyable aswell as disturbing. It's a strange but lovable film. It was something I've never seen before and something worth watching again!!. I loved the acting, the script, the plot whatever - I loved every bit of it. For me it was a suspenseful heart pounder and breathing teaser. By the end of it, it leaves you in deep thought (Some may not have felt this same reaction though?). Can't wait for the DVD. Mark Wahlberg is a fantastic actor. He is really diverse and is starting to really flow into drama (which I think is nice!) even though we love him in action.

    Oh and I don't know if this is considered a spoiler but... What is REALLY scary about this film is WHAT YOU CAN NOT SEE. It's something alot more deeper than mare psychos with a knife or zombies eating your body. It scares you because it's ---- undefinable. "We'll fail to acknowledge that there's forces that work beyond our understanding".

    Ive had some time to process this, and by far this is Shyamalans WORST by far. I happenen to be a fan of his, but I must say....wow, what went wrong? Wahlberg is normally a strong, captivating, leading man! He plays a teacher, but he just doesnt 'capture' this character..he was miscast. And whats up with Deschanel? ALOT of close ups on her face, and not too much more...The BEST acting came from John Leguizamo, in my opinion, he should have had the lead. He would have made this an emotional movie...which I think is what Shyamalan was going for.

    Personaly I thought this was the worst acting I've seen since the first Saw movie. In other movies the actors are good actors but not in this movie. Overall, if you feel like wasting about 2 hours and about 10 bucks then go ahead and see this movie!

    There....there are no words. Just terrible. Awful, to say the least. The only thing worth seeing in this movie is Mark Wahlberg (who was gorgeous, by the way). Other than that, if you want to go the movies and laugh your @$$ off, go see this movie. It had my BFF and i in stitches the entire time.

    I for one have had enough of the "nature is going to rise up against us cause we're bad for the planet" theme. Its' become a cliche Someone needs to make a movie about humanity bitch-slapping nature into submission!!! At least that would require some orginal thought.

    All who hated this movie, u r just too lazy to think and decide the real answer to the questions. Well, Shyamalan always made movie for smart people, not for all of u lazy audience who only want to get entertained.

    The Happening has a lot of messages to shout out to us,
    if ure smart enuf, u'll understand.
    If ure not, just wait til you're more mature,
    watch again and you will understand the real deep means
    of this movie. I won't spoil it!
