Despite a run time of 103 minutes, the film never truly finds its footing. The pacing is all over the place, as is the storytelling, with characters having to constantly explain their motivations as well as the story in first person narration instead of showing it and acting it out. It doesn't work and neither does anything else in the movie. From the wooden acting to the surprisingly lackluster special effects for a wannabe blockbuster film, this is a disappointment on every level and proves M.Night Shyamalan has lost whatever talent he had on display in his successful and enjoyable films from early in his career. The only thing this had going for it was that I wasn't bored, but that's just because of the ridiculousness of it all.
