Wow. i'm having a hard time wondering why people are so upset about "global warming" and the environment. Global Warming is a concept that was made to make you buy more Hybrids and "ecofriendly" trash. where i'm from movie tickets are 8.50 a piece, i took my girlfriend with me. this was seriously the biggest letdown of the year.... bad way to start summer, atleast i'll set the bar lower for the next movies i'll be seeing.

I've had time to calm down after seeing this on opening night to write an impartial review. Simply saying this movie is awful doesn't even begin to touch the tip of this carwreck of a film. I now think people are seeing this to view how terrible it actually is. It's worse than you can imagine. Simply awful.

This movie was the typical M Night movie. Personally I think rating his films as thrillers is a disservice. His movies are never as scary as the write ups lead you to believe and that's OK. In my opinion his movies are made to make you think. I agree with the person who said it was more realistic that the typical alien movie. I think the problem with most people is they have forgotten how to think at a movie and can't handle something without extreme violence, blood and gore.

I never write here but i feel it is my duty to tell all not to waste their money on this movie. Absolutely horrible and if you HAVE to see it maybe rent it, or wait for it to be on TV one day. Surpisingly terrible acting, the story line was terrible. Seriously waste of time and money.

HORRIBLE!!!! What the hell was Mark Wahlberg thinking??? Go watch THE HULK instead!

User review rating: 0 June 16, 2008

I don't know what movie all you negative reviewers saw...but it couldn't be the same one I saw (unless you are a kid...then I could see you thinking it may be dull) I thought it was terrific. A real thought inducer. But if you want to be scared this isn't the movie for you.

M.Night continues his freefall into the realm of terrible movies.Maybe he was trying to jump on the enviromental bandwaqgon with Al Gore .He fails miserably with a movie that is so bad and has some unintentionally hilarious scenes and dialogue.The female lead (Zooey ??)is terrible and thinks that acting involves being quirky.Stay away!!

User review rating: 0 June 16, 2008

This may have been the worst movie I've EVER seen. No redeeming qualities, whatsoever. Acting, script, plot, everything was horrible. The only positive thing I gained out of seeing this movie was that the power went out halfway through so I got a voucher for a free movie. Thank god for that. Don't waste your time.

User review rating: 0 June 16, 2008

Don't watch this movie. Seriously. The movie just sucks... i watched it last night, it was so horrible...

User review rating: 0 June 16, 2008

Bad movie, worst since his last one...Poor Mark Walberg missed the boat on this one. At least Paul Giamitti was roped into doing "The Lady in The Water"...Don't waste your money or time on this one. BAD BAD MOVIE. Starts bad and no resolution.HATE IT!

User review rating: 0 June 16, 2008

This movie sucks! I want my money back. First "The Village" was totally mis-advertised. It was not horror movie. That was upsetting. "the Lady in The Water", what was that about? Some guy in Hollywood should be fired for making that. But this movie totally blew the big one. It started bad and went down from there. An hour and a half I could have spent digging my eyes out. Sorry Mark Walberg, nice try but you came aboard a little late just ask Paul Giamatti...

The Happening leaves you wondering...when is it going to happen...Very big waste of time, not even a renter!!!

User review rating: 0 June 16, 2008

Like most people on here. i would have to agree to not go see this awful boring movie and i love movies and it seems really interesting in commercials but over all its really sad

User review rating: 0 June 16, 2008

Unfortunately the lowest possibility on Rating a movie is one star. It does not deserve any stars what so ever. Like 90% people here have already mentioned; no plot, no character, no script. 10$ paid for NOT HAPPENING. This was probably the worst movie I saw in ages. People running and dieing. Half of the time you will just see wind blowing and the trees moving... Okay, thats the most intriguing the director could make it. Mark Walberg you are way better than that. Please if you work hard to make your money don't waste it on this one. Buy yourself a beer and you'll be much better. Cheers!

DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE!!! This movie was definately an extreme waste of time...I was, by a longshot, the worst movie i have ever viewed. Save your money and download it free off the internet because M. Night Shyamalan does not deserve a cent from this cinematic disaster.

User review rating: 0 June 16, 2008

The actors were kind of weak for the characters played, mark walhberg didn't make a good high school teacher, too marky mark, he would have been better suited as an ex-marine or cop. Otherwise, the story was interesting, a little hoaky, but still interesting. Nature is attacking us b/c we are a threat to it, and is doing it by releasing air-born toxins, that make humans suicidal. The toxin plays on human anxiety to kill us, and can only be defended against with love. that is my understanding of the plot.

If I could minus the stars I would.... a serious waste of money.

User review rating: 0 June 16, 2008

The only good thing about this movie was the end. I should have listened to the reviews I read before I went. So, I say I deserved the torture due to ignorance, but you don't have to. I just saved you 2 hours and ten bucks. I would rather have watched paint dry...Honestly. One star is gracious, too bad they dont have integers.

DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE! I'm an M. Night fan and this is his worst film to date. Great concept and potential that falls very fast due to horrible acting, casting, script, and overall character development. This was my last M. Night film.

User review rating: 0 June 16, 2008

Once again M. Night writes, produces and directs a sleeper. This was a horrible statement on the environment. The acting was terrible, the camera work was weak and the writting was too expositional. I hate films that have to have a character explain the plot, it really doesn't give the audience a chance to comprehend the plot. Do not waste your money, rent it. I think Night should simply direct, leave the writting to the pros.

User review rating: 0 June 16, 2008

I found this movie deeply disturbing. Shame on the Director and the Producers for trying to make money from such an emotional subject. I would not suggest anyone to go and see this terrible movie.

User review rating: 0 June 16, 2008

horrible!!!!!!! waste of time! stupid ending! this movie sucks! boring!

User review rating: 0 June 16, 2008

interesting concept, and starts promisingly enough .. but undeveloped script is a big downfall. bring a pillow and a blanket, a suspenseful movie without suspense is like a comedy without jokes. all of which is unfortunate, considering this is being sold as a shyamalan work.

User review rating: 0 June 15, 2008

There should have made it "The Not Happening", that's just 2 hours of people not really doing anything. I would have gladly paid $10 and spent my time watching that over this piece of garbage.

User review rating: 0 June 15, 2008

1 star was too generous a rating for this piece of trash. I had high hopes that this would be a comeback for M. Night, but it was the worst thing I've seen in a long time. Everything about it was very amatuer, certainly not what you'd expect from one of Hollywood's top directors.

Most of these people who are writing all these comments,I suggest they take a proper reading and writing coarse, because their grammer is the most attrocious. They all sound at par with 1st graders or less, not to mention their taste in movies. Myself I was totally creeped out by this flic, and if that's the case that means I really liked it. I place it on nearly the same level as Blair Witch. I highly recommend this movie to All the others can go watch Disney. Great work M. Knight, looking forward to your next project. :)

The point in the movie where a number of people in their cars converged at a crossroad was the turning point in the film. I was generally apprehensive as to what they were going to face. Then the director blew it. I will not give the utterly improbable plot away but will say that M. Night Shymalan must retire as a one hit wonder with only the Sixth Sense as a credible movie under his repetoir.

WTF? What a waste of time & money!

User review rating: 0 June 15, 2008

This was a horrible movie! There is no explanation for what the people are seeing and hearing and why this happened. I left the theater feeling chipped. I'm shocked that Mark Walberg saw something in this script. I thought he would of had better taste than to chose to be part of this movie.

User review rating: 0 June 15, 2008

Who ever decides to see this movie next,do us all a favor. Burn the screen before it begins. Trust me. It's worth it.

User review rating: 0 June 15, 2008

wow i cant believe there are people that could actually 5 star this movie. it was absolutley and utterly awful. the plot line was incredibly dumb and the effects were something you would see on you tube. save your money and read a book or stab your eyes with a pen because this movie is the worst thing to hit the cinema since red dawn.

PEOPLE, DID ANYBODY NOTICE THAT THE MICROPHONE WAS VISIBLE IN HALF OF THE SHOTS???? i haven't seen a movie this bad in about 5 years.

User review rating: 0 June 15, 2008

M.NIGHT SHALAMAN STOOPS TO A NEW LOW. i can't believe this movie was as bad as it was. i usually like his films, but this one was just terrible. there were no special effects, the plot was slow and uneventful, the acting was terrible, and the microphone was even showing in like over 10 different scenes! poor guy, his career is going to go down the tubes after this one... DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS ONE FOLKS!

everything in this movie was horrible. painful to sit through and even more painful that i paid for it. dont waste your money or your life seeing it you'll just be disappointed(and i even love mark wahlberg as an actor)

User review rating: 0 June 15, 2008

this was not one of M.Nights best movie, there was no character development,or anything, there was some sketchy parts with that old lady, and it was just not that great. I am disappointed. His best movies are Unbreakable ans Signs.

User review rating: 0 June 15, 2008

Truly terrifing. You feel the terror in the people and relate to it. This was captured perfectly and the plot was plausible. [yes bees are really disappearing...]. But the horrible camera work in some scenes, and just err - odd acting at some points ruined it. One or two drafts away from an amazing movie. D

Horrible acting, horrible suspense...well there was none! Very disappointing for Shyamalan

User review rating: 0 June 15, 2008

My wife and I waited in line with the panda-kids to see this "happening". We couldn't wait for another thrilling-twisting-mind-blowing ride from M... it was simply disappointing!

User review rating: 0 June 15, 2008

Very very disappointing, predictable, boring movie, would have rated -1 star if I could, not exactly sure how this movie made it into the theaters. I would advise anyone planning to watch it to save their 10 or so dollars and 1.5 hours.

is the director out of mind , what a failure

User review rating: 0 June 15, 2008

There are very few geniuses working in Hollywood these days, but M. Night Shyamalan is one of them. This movie may or may not keep you guessing through out, but it certainly makes you think. Some people may call the premise of this movie "dumb" or "retarded" but those people are the ones that have forgotten what it's like to think. In fact, the premise of this movie is one of those things that gets overlooked by society, when it's probably a lot closer to being believable than say, aliens landing on our planet and causing havoc. I give this movie 5-stars, because of how intelligent it is compared to anything else that's come along in a long time. As for whether or not I think somebody s

The problem with writing, directing and producing your whole film alone is that noone has the chance to tell you how badly it sucks so you carry on with the misguided notion that you have created something worthwhile.

User review rating: 0 June 14, 2008

The only bright spot in this dud was Betty Buckley's acting (about 5 min). Mark Wahlberg was pathetic (it must've been the direction)Mr. Shyamalan take a break! Or switch your genre.
