Hank Sartin
Individual sequences generate an eerie tension that's always deflated, creating a jarring stop-and-go rhythm, and the atmospheric trickery never strays beyond a lot of smoke and mirrors.
Derek Adams
Shyamalan is technically a superb film-maker, for all that he's picked up most of his tricks from Spielberg and Hitchcock.
David Ansen
A refreshing summer movie.
Peter Rainer
Shyamalan wants to be the metaphysical poet of movies, but he's dangerously close to becoming its O. Henry.
Rex Reed
The same old same old: dull and recycled, with no surprises.
Andrew Sarris
The movie is almost completely lacking in suspense, surprise and consistent emotional conviction.

Sitting through the last reel (spoiler alert!) is significantly less charming than listening to a four-year-old with a taste for exaggeration recount his Halloween trip to the Haunted House.
User reviews
ambivalent The actors all gave great performances, and the exploration of struggling with faith following tragedy was interesting. But the story itself didn't hold together and a lot of the effort to build suspense was gimmicky. The events at the ending really don't make a lot of sense - very contrived & somewhat anticlimactic. Final note: the air on this planet is FULL of water vapor.
Movie was wonderful fully recommended for anyone that loves a good suspenseful movie :) I love this movie so much..I can't really point out why I just do and I have since I was little. I still have the movie on vsh and dvd. The music in this movie is amazing too, can't believe that in the last 5 weeks of the movies making they barley decided to add the misic!!
The "sign" that M. Night was a hack... So many plot holes, so little space. Why would a (presumably) intelligent species travel who-knows-how-far to invade a world covered in 3/4ths acid? Invasion called on account of a light drizzle? They can build space ships with cloaking technology, but figuring out a doorknob is beyond them? Just a terrible, terrible movie. All involved should have made public apologies for their lapse in judgement.
M Night Shamalan at his best Awesome! Scary! Good ending, in the nothing happens by chance, norhing is random. If only we understand all of our actions lead to something, one dot after another, if yo...ah, bored, "connect the dots" if you can "see" them to know where things will end up, to see the full picture before you draw the last dot.
Good Loved it and it was kinda scary through out...wicked witch stuff destroys the plot though who would traverse light years to invade a Planet covered in 60% water if ya melt in it...?
Excellent!!! This movie has all the elements, outstanding all the way through, the title says it all and it brings all the elements together beautifully, you wont be disappointed.
Amazing movie I remember when I first watched this in the theater. I went into it blind and came out pretty scared. The fear of what's out there plays on you. I'd definitely recommend this, and as for most M. Night movies it has a twist.
Awful Aliens who perish in water invade a water-covered world where water often falls from the skies. They can traverse space but can't remember to wear a rain slicker. They forgot to bring some weapons and forgot where they parked their space ships, too. Absolutely terrible. M. Night needs to find a writer.
Great sci-fi Suspenseful! On the edge of your chair, yet depicting family unity and love.
So many good scenes This is a special movie to me. I first watched it when I was seven at a friends house in his basement in a small town surrounded by corn fields. Every time I watch the movie it maintains its feel. It's scene's are so well paced you are always into it and has perfect suspense that carries all the way through the movie. It's separates itself because it always has the "killer is in the house" vibe throughout, rather than the predictive killer around the corner. Great movie that is well worth the money.
