    This was pretty rough. I watched the DVD because the trailer had me a little curious but the reviews stopped me from seeing it in theatre. Good move on my part and thanks for this site! Weak writing (the dialogue could have been written by a 6th grader), weak plot (enviro-morals), weak acting (Wahlberg's wife was incredibly annoying), weak music/soundstage. The one redeeming quality is that the overall feel of the movie is a lot like a nightmare where the series of events don't really make sense. Particularly where the people run away from the wind because it has the "toxins" in it. Naturally Marky Mark's character figures it all out when real scientists can't. But I don't think that was the point. I bet M Night would take this one back if he could. It was probably just meant to be weird and it was but I do not see many people really enjoying this movie. My wife liked it much better than I did.
