Seriously though, I hope this is just a hiccup.

This movie isalright, let me list what I liked on it and try to keep my rant rather controlled, hopefully.

Once again this movie has a heavy paranormal atmosphere around it, and it knows how to tease, build up tension and deliver a somewhat satisfying pay off. Not only that, but the characters and the actors are actually really good too, especially Joaquin Phoenix, and they help sell some of the silliest points the movie tries to make.

However, there are so many issues in it that it just falls apart. Why is there such an insistence that destiny is written? What is up with that debate involving faith that goes absolutely nowhere? Why would the aliens invade a planet that is three quarters water when they are weak to water!? And if they can travel through space why cant they get through a wooden door!? Also why laying their navigational system all over the planet on giant crop circles!? And how can a book hold the answers to every single thing that happens in the movie and its correct all the time?

Look, I know. Its an alien invasion movie, suspension of disbelief, aliens, I get it, whatever. If you put the good points and the bad points next to each other the bad points outweigh the good points ten to one. Its ridiculous.

And now, if you excuse me, I need to go fix my cinema. I think I must have termites.

water? Seriously? Why not marshmallows? It makes as much sense as water!
