I didn't believe the aliens, and Grahams crisis of faith didn't touch me at all. That was the two most important elements of the movie. I did like the photography and the atmosphere. The two kids played memorably. Not enough to carry the movie though.

My first watch as an innocent young lad quickly gave me an unhealthy fear of aliens snatching me in the night. Watching it now, it isn't nearly as frightening, but I still think Shamalama does a great job of building suspense and planting unease. I don't really have an issue with the main thematic or the water-weakness, as many seem to, but I'll readily admit that it's not perfectly executed. McKnight can be curiously clunky as often as he can tread softly script-wise. It don't make no sense.

It's M. Night Shyamalan, what do you expect? No wait, I can't leave it at that. His wife's seemingly meaningless dying words just happen to provide him with the key to stopping invading aliens killing his family years later? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

M. Night Shyamalan seems to have two kinds of fans. Those who like Sixth Sense, and just Sixth Sense, and those who also like most of his other movies. I'm in the former group, and like many of my fellow only-Sixth-Sense-fans, I found Signs to be uneven, leaden, and often just strange.

Shyamalan confirms his inability (or his dubious stylistic choice) to write a single realistic dialogue. Actor's monoexpressiveness (which is the result of an awkward direction) and music's monotheme doesn't add any shade of interest in the story

Another underrated (but not perfect, certainly) Shyamalan film. And like all his other films, this is not a horror movie, but instead a very personal psychological drama about a father's moral conflict and redemption (both the capitalized and not- version of 'father', as well). The scene where Gibson talks to Phoenix about his loss of God is far more unsettling and potent than any scene in the film, regardless of scare factor.

Not a bad film until the "twist at the end" that doesn't work as good as it worked for writer/director Shyamalan's previous two films (The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable). A happy ending is not a real twist for anyone who has seen more than 14 Hollywood films.

Very good film! Its simple and straight forward. All the characters grow and develop well and even has their own story arc. The plot is nice and goes at a good pace. The Aliens were very threatening with their slight appearances and disturbing scary party reveal scene. The cinematography is alright, there are some shots that are nice and others that are just not good. Overall I enjoy this movie so much and admire the influence. I was very entertained by the movie, good movie!

Starts off great and does an amazing job of keeping things tense while not showing you the alien. The movie quickly devolves though towards the end, turning into a messy pile of Man of Science vs Man of Faith. Which is a consistent theme through out the movie but completely just jams it in your face by the end with no subtlety.

Um dos primeiros filmes realmente sérios a respeito de ameaça alienígena, na minha opinião. Sempre que eu assistia um filme dessa temática eu fazia a mesma pergunta que o reporte do desenho animado "Monstros vs. Alienígenas": "EUA: o único país no mundo que os ET's decidem pousar..." Lógico! Para um ET qual seria a diferença entre EUA e Brasil? E aí que o filme dá medo, eles aparecem até em Foz do Iguaçu! O úncio ponto fraco é o eterno cliché dos sci-fi: misturar ciência e religião no fim.

Aside from the plot-twist near the end (typical of Shyamalan, but that shouldn't be a "surprise"), the movie was good. Keeping a tense feeling during the whole movie, the plot catches the audience attention and manages to deliver a few scary moments. Still, the final premise wasn't as good as it could have been.

Signs does a great job of presenting a tense picture of an alien invasion writ small. It's not the battle we get to see, but a small family dealing with idea that aliens have come. This carries the movie pretty far, but the weird take on faith in signs, some fairly awkward dialogue and scenes (like the son just standing in front of the basement grate), and aliens who just didn't do their research very well bring it down a bit. I've always enjoyed signs and while flawed it's a good watch.

The only disappointment in this film is the ending - the ideas were there but drawing them together didn't work. The film builds tension nicely for the first two thirds, and the first sight of the aliens is a genuinely great shock moment, but it suffers overall from a loss of direction.
