M.Night continues his freefall into the realm of terrible movies.Maybe he was trying to jump on the enviromental bandwaqgon with Al Gore .He fails miserably with a movie that is so bad and has some unintentionally hilarious scenes and dialogue.The female lead (Zooey ??)is terrible and thinks that acting involves being quirky.Stay away!!

This may have been the worst movie I've EVER seen. No redeeming qualities, whatsoever. Acting, script, plot, everything was horrible. The only positive thing I gained out of seeing this movie was that the power went out halfway through so I got a voucher for a free movie. Thank god for that. Don't waste your time.

Bad movie, worst since his last one...Poor Mark Walberg missed the boat on this one. At least Paul Giamitti was roped into doing "The Lady in The Water"...Don't waste your money or time on this one. BAD BAD MOVIE. Starts bad and no resolution.HATE IT!

This movie sucks! I want my money back. First "The Village" was totally mis-advertised. It was not horror movie. That was upsetting. "the Lady in The Water", what was that about? Some guy in Hollywood should be fired for making that. But this movie totally blew the big one. It started bad and went down from there. An hour and a half I could have spent digging my eyes out. Sorry Mark Walberg, nice try but you came aboard a little late just ask Paul Giamatti...

Like most people on here. i would have to agree to not go see this awful boring movie and i love movies and it seems really interesting in commercials but over all its really sad

Unfortunately the lowest possibility on Rating a movie is one star. It does not deserve any stars what so ever. Like 90% people here have already mentioned; no plot, no character, no script. 10$ paid for NOT HAPPENING. This was probably the worst movie I saw in ages. People running and dieing. Half of the time you will just see wind blowing and the trees moving... Okay, thats the most intriguing the director could make it. Mark Walberg you are way better than that. Please if you work hard to make your money don't waste it on this one. Buy yourself a beer and you'll be much better. Cheers!

DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE!!! This movie was definately an extreme waste of time...I was, by a longshot, the worst movie i have ever viewed. Save your money and download it free off the internet because M. Night Shyamalan does not deserve a cent from this cinematic disaster.

The actors were kind of weak for the characters played, mark walhberg didn't make a good high school teacher, too marky mark, he would have been better suited as an ex-marine or cop. Otherwise, the story was interesting, a little hoaky, but still interesting. Nature is attacking us b/c we are a threat to it, and is doing it by releasing air-born toxins, that make humans suicidal. The toxin plays on human anxiety to kill us, and can only be defended against with love. that is my understanding of the plot.
