Wow, so many different opinions on the same movie... such movies are often really interesting.
This one really appealed to me for several reasons. The element of mystery as well as the beautiful visual style and the importance of certain colors made it very interesting. Great soundtrack, too.
After watching the whole movie and getting to know the secrets - although the villagers decided to stick to their ways in the end - I also consider this a beautiful way to show that suffering is a part of life and hiding from the world is not the solution and just causes different problems.
I also loved the actors - Sigourney Weaver, Bryce Dallas Howard, Joaquín Phoenix and Adrien Brody were amazing, but the whole ensemble was wonderful.
Well, I guess the movie is fine. From the discussions, I expected it to be scary. DONT expect that, it's more of the drama/mystery-ish kind.
Felt like a joke while I was watching it, probably because I expected something else, but it feels like it has an ok story when I look back at it.
SPOILER WARNING
-----------------
well, this movie surprised me. i believed it was an horror movie till the 3/4 of its lenght, but the final is revealing and a pleasant surprise, maybe cause i always dreamed about creating a similar project.. discovering that the story is placed in our days is surprising, almost for me.
i really liked it. maybe it's not a 10/10, but is absolutely worth watching. one of my best icm reccomendations.

Shyamalan's under-appreciated masterpiece.Our_Young_Protagonist
Great film.Georgio
Very beautiful movie! Not as i expected from ShyamalanDuke of Omnium
The surprise ending was telegraphed about an hour beforehand, and Shyamalan's little hide and seek game with the camera got old very early.cubesofspinach
It's not really supposed to be scary.maritislieff
the beginning is soo awesome:D end the other half is rather terrible..GreyScarf
The score for this movie was brilliant! James Newton Howard delivered a haunting masterpiece.thestaulker
alright. I'll except it as a watchable movie. In theory it could be worked on, perhaps even re-made.HEMA
I knew the ending, still enjoyed it a lot!Deusesque
I agree with Thief (and Cesar): it's an amazing film. The music is very beautiful as well.Thief
