read through the review of this film and it clear to me that the general view public ( the folk who do not get this movie ) really do like it action film to be big and dumb and and that they have be fool by hollywood into think that represent a ) science fiction be the same a sci fi ( it not ) while and b ) science fiction be now suppose to be analogous to action flick ( thanks for nothing and james cameron . ) . the same people who will not attempt to think about ( i do not mean like and i just mean think about ) the second two movie in the matrix trilogy be go to hate this film and because it be truly a science fiction film and not an action movie or a sci fi movie . for people who want to think about their entertainment and this be a great film for you . the thing people be miss be because of the fact that they do not want to pay attention . why be there stranger in the form of little kid . because the stranger inhabit the human dead and and since child can die and the stranger can inhabit their body . can not the stranger do anything . no and clearly they can not because and if they could and they wouldn not need the doctor for his work with human . they clearly have limit to their power . why be the character so wooden . because they aren not comfortable with themselves . john be comfortable with his power at the end of the movie because he have grow comfortable with himself and who he be . bumstead and emma seem distant at first because they be only just introduce to those life when we first see them . they have memory of be those people and but they be not those people and they be not yet comfortable in their skin . again and this be a very deeply make film . you have to dig deep to discover what be go on . the jungian theme and the emotional theme and the question of self identity and how society and such a a city and can inform our identification of not only ourselves but those around u be set here for u to think about . so and in short and if you want a film to pay attention to and think about and this be your flick . if you want a big and dumb action movie and then go elsewhere there note ( for you ) to see here .
