Theater Review: The Happening
This movie has some similarities to the Mist. Such as they all believe that its to do with the army and terrorists, there is always the one guy that knows what is happening and how it happened and always kind of saves the day.
This movie has some kind of big named actors, which leads you to believe that this movie is brilliant. Actors such as Mark Wahlberg, who has been in movies such as “We Own the Night”, “The Shooter”, “Four Brothers” and “Planet of the Apes”. John Leguizamo, who did the voice acting for ‘Sid’, the sloth in the two “Ice Age” movies. Spencer Breslin also stars in this movie you might have seen him in such movies as, Santa Clause 3, Zoom, Shaggy Dog, Cat in the Hat and form his younger days The Kid.
Well this movie is a mystery, thriller kind of movie. Its about a bunch of family’s that run into a disaster which people think is caused by terrorists. Other people have different views on this but the majority believe in that one idea. Elliot Moore a science teacher and his wife and friend set out to find a area which has not been infected, but they soon learn it’s harder than they thought to keep away from pain and fear.
My opinion on this movie is go out and see it but be thoughtful about it. This movie contains some gruesome scenes and some jumpy. My friend was scared to death he was covering his eyes and squeezing my hand. This movie is not supposed to make you laugh in the nasty parts but sorry I couldn’t help it the realism of what was happening was hilarious. OK my full opinion is its OK to watch but it kinda made you want to leave.
