the first time i saw the trailer for this film be about year ago inside a movie house . it show a lot of promise and i be even mesmerize a it use josh groban mi mancherai to great effect which leave the viewer with such a teaser that i could not wait to know more about the film and it plot . soon after ward a lot of internet hype go into this film base upon the fact that a lot of people be anticipate m. night shyamalan movie . with the lackluster the village a this film predecessor it be time to look into a refreshing albeit familiar direction one expect of m. night and after a year or so of wait i finally saw it tonight . it be by far and the most unimaginative of all of m. night shyamalan film and to me the most self indulgent . most of the time the film seem to be try too hard to put that mystery and suspense that it feel contrive . i have also notice a shift in his story tell style particularly his use of a lot of hollywood special effect instead of the use of natural surroundings to create that distinct shyamalan style of storytelling suspense which i love and saw in his previous film . this feel like a sell out film and i think a wee bit egotistical to put himself a an important though not central character instead of his usual cameo appearance . this i think be the most detrimental to an already obtuse storyline . in closing and i think he should go back to the style that he become famous for and not try too hard to get lose in his own myth and persona .
