[i]Signs[/i], simply put, kicked major ass--not in an
[i]Signs[/i] is a movie about faith. Not an [i]Independence[/i] Day faith-in-your-fellow-human-being kind of faith. It's about religious faith. I'm not a religious person, so the concept of a sci-fi alien invation film that's all about faith was a little hard to swallow, traditionally speaking.
This film was filled with more emotion than [i]The Sixth Sense[/i] and [i]Unbreakable[/i] combined (I'm not saying that those two films were bad; they just lacked a real emotional tone, but that was intentional). The film is Hitchcock-scary and pulls no punches. It makes you jump, and some people in the audience are guaranteed to literally scream.
I know some people who didn't like the film [i]Contact[/i] for the simple fact that you never got to see the aliens. I loved [i]Contact[/i], because the story was well-written and it was a very solid piece of filmmaking from Robert Zemeckis. If you went to see [i]Contact[/i] for aliens, you were misinformed.
The nice thing about [i]Signs[/i] is that it'll please just about anybody who sees it.
