what utter twaddle!

I've seen bad films, but this one takes the biscuit.

Hahah this film is so bad. I mean its worst enough that its trying to be pretentious but the fact that its just awful.
Cameron Diaz's accent is so bad, The old man with a whole in his face, he must have the best immune system in the world and the blue water thing?!?! WHAT and afterwards they are not even freaked out they are more concerned about the leakages in their house?! Money troubles but he has a Corvette?! Bleeding nose? Zombie people, aliens just what the hell is this. Its not even laughable bad its just terrible. The producers saw he directed Donnie Darko and thought hey guys we are in for another cult classic...after the release they thinking oh dear. I like to think they were thinking ''AWW YES IM IN FOR BEST ACTRESS AND BEST SCREENPLAY''
Sadly a lot of people don't think other 'deep' non nonsensical pretentious films are just as bad. The only positive is James Marsden does an alright job acting out a bad script.

Were you asleep during the film? The plot was fairly simple and everything was explained in the film. Completely different from Lost or Twin Peaks.

The only thing that could be seen as pretentious was the Sartre references.

This movie was really good actually were u texting the whole time or something? Yeah they have money trouble because he wanted that car. The whole thing is about how are species can barely ever do the right thing like valueing each other and our species over a million dollars which essentially is just paper. The nosebleeds are steward taking over their mind

I don't think very many people on these boards actually know what pretentious means..OP said bewildering and that much is obvious..You get Donnie Darko but not this? Arlington Stewards face is explained in the movie after he gets struck with lightning he develops unique capabilities.. he's taken over and is a vessel, a go between for communicating with the aliens.. his employees are most likely people that have went through their experiments and Steward can possess them and experience their senses but can't figure out who to do this without causing frontal lobe hemorrhage..(nosebleeds).. the aliens are helping along our extinction because we are a very flawed species so the experiments are going on and the data will be submitted to see if we are worthy of living on a habitable planet or should we be replaced.

what utter twaddle! Pretentious, bewildering nonsense: its like the muddled offspring of "lost" and "twin peaks"!

Anyone who uses these combination of words in a single sentence is a just a very annoying individual. "TWADDLE" ?? Really? How does one even use this long retired word without laughing out loud at himself and expect people to take him serious? I would expect your a Limey; it is easy to visualize you sitting for your morning tea and biscuits, your face red and angry with high blood pressure as you say these lines. Perhaps not a Limey though.....a true Limey would have thrown in a "rubish" or "bloody" in his show of disgust. . . You could be Canuck or even a Boere.......By the way, if its any consolation, I hated this movie also...
