3/10
Let's make up any possibility with no expectations

Warning: Spoilers
I'm not a fan of Sandra, never have been, nor Julia Roberts, I find them equally unappealing as actors. Nice to see an Aussie included in the cast, Derryn Hinches ex wife, but as per usual, the Americans accent was intolerable, and she kinda just acted neurotically for an hour. Malkovich was Malkovich, same same. No explanations, we have zero idea wtf was actually scaring them into suicide...it wasn't mysterious, it was just a complete lack of filling in the blanks, but u have to fill in some blanks to inspire some sort of believable reality into the situation. It was just pure fantasy, dragged out to a full movie, when it could have a quirky 15 min short film. I'd be less annoyed, but it was a boring, drawn out, completely unbelievable scenario. We don't know why some could still use their eyes and not suicide, we don't know what the monsters were, whether the whole world was affected, or why they were completely protected in the end under that canopy of trees and birds, how long it would last???? M Night at least tries to explain his movies, his twists make sense...with this, you're presented with a situation that is firstly unbelievable, unexplained and unfinished.
