Toutefois, il aurait fallu un peu plus d'émotion, des éléments plus captivants pour faire de ce film une totale réussite.
Really, pacing problems are a relatively serious issue within this film, even in M. Night Shyamalan's scripted plotting, who heights in momentum are few and far between, and bridged by some serious dragging in both material and filler that gradually leads to repetition, then continues to slip further in momentum until it inspires the aimlessness that the aforementioned tonal and focal unevenness hardly mends.
If this is not a horror flick, then it is time for this film to start a branch of its own and begin a new genre. Un film intéressant, réalisé de manière intéressante par Shyamalan, avec un Mel Gibson de bon qualité.
M. Night scores with this film, it breathes eerie tension.

Night Shyamalan mit Mel Gibson/Abigail Breslin/Patricia Kalember.
| Rating: 4/5 Buena Vista Pictures This 10-digit number is your confirmation number. Y a sûrement des références à la Bible... Mais ça, même un débile le devine... Est-ce une raison pour être lourd?
Overall, unevenness in tone, focus and pacing drive storytelling into a kind of aimlessness whose being backed by often dulling atmospheric cold spells allows you to soak up natural shortcomings enough for the final product to gradually slip into underwhelmingness, which goes challenged enough by fine score work, inspired acting and some conceptual intrigue - often sold by highlights in direction - for M. Night Shyamalan's "Signs" to stand as a decent, somewhat offbeat dramatic sci-fi thriller, even if it's hardly consistent with the thrills. Among the most troubling elements in this film is, of course, inconsistency, even in tone, because the film will slap in some often fall-flat and sometimes even unrealistic comic relief to forcibly break serious tension, if not drama, and that's detrimental to focal evenness enough without being joined by throw-away breaks from the central plot and one too many layers to the central plot itself. Even the independent filmmakers, free of the "system", seem to forget what FEAR is.
If no other form of artistry is worth noting, it's James Newton Howard's score, which, even then, has only so much kick and uniqueness to it, but is still sharp, as it usually is in M. Night Shyamalan films, combining relatively modernist scoring sensibilities with old-fashioned psychological thriller elements through a certain atmospheric minimalism that is often musically commendable, as well as atmospherically complimentary.
Le film ne parle pas du tout des extra terrestre.
Pape / Prêtre / Curé / Moine / Bonne soeur / Religieux
De 1, c'est pas nouveau dans les films hollywoodiens, de 2, ça n'empêche pas que le film ne soit pas terrible, de 3, chacun ses goûts.
4.5/5.
Alien.
Needless to say, what potential there is goes betrayed, partly by ambition, but when ambition becomes inspiration, effectiveness is successfully sold, for although M. Night Shyamalan, as director, all too often meditates upon nothing, when material picks up, depth is soaked up, resulting in tension, maybe even resonance, and enough of it to compel. | Rating: 2/5 Auch anderswo häufen sich rätselhafte Phänomene, alles deutet auf eine bevorstehende Ankunft Außerirdischer hin.
They must try to escape before the apparent emergence of a frightful new 24th. Expliquez-nous, alors, svp.

Gibson is on top form, and there are some genuinely terrifying moments that will have you cowering behind your popcorn.
Those lights are a miracle“ So much has happened since the release of Signs 15 years ago, particularly in relation to its writer director M. Night Shyamalan.
Still, while what potential there is to this story concept is all too often done some kind of an injustice, this is still a decent effort that keeps you going by what it does right in storytelling, or at least what it does right from an artistic standpoint. While I remember a few films actually scaring me as a kid (Jaws, Psycho), I have failed to encounter many in my adult life.
Merci !
"Signes" est un film ayant la même réputation, et il touche à un genre que j'affectionne plus que tout, dans une ambiance à la Spielberg qui me plait bien.
Je suis d'accord, mais avez vous coupé le film avant la fin ?
