Story, unusual events start to occur in Central Park: New York, people are randomly killing themselves of after seizing up which has only seemed to have occurred in New York, speculation and news reports make it believe to be terrorists who have used an air-born chemical which effects the mind but soon after more attacks occur all around the north east coast of America to which are also situated in parks of major towns and cities, this will leave the remaining survivors to create speculation of their own which will lead to truth but perhaps to the insanity of the others themselves.
Characters Elliot Morre (Mark Wahlber) and Julian (John Leguizamo) bring the best out in the film, they do some very good performances of the average working joe to how people deal and the effects it cause if such a situation where to occur. Saying that these are probably the only ones I could say did a great performance, Zooey Deschanel who plays Elliot Morre girlfriends becomes very mediocre most of the time with this gormless face on her with no strong script to which really doesn't help hold this film together.
With all honesty I enjoyed half of the films story, it was really unusual and a new idea of how the world could end which did leave me quite gripped and willing to sit to want to know more, at first you know yourself that these attacks are not the work of terrorists but you do dwindle the thought and almost made to believe that it actually could be with the reinforced news broadcasts. I have to say as well that there was some quite uneasy moments put into the film, the memorable old lady Mrs Jones and the scene with the un-occupied swing grinding on top of the tree branch certainly left a little chill down my spine.
At about half way through the film people start to ponder the thought of nature itself to be the cause of the recent events , at first you may think this is some form of crazy unusual behaviour caused by the situation (with added odd camera angles) or perhaps by the problem itself but then you remember who the writer of this film is then at the precise moment when you realise what is going on you soon no that this story isn't going to portray out well, it slowly crumbles with only the chilling scenes as the memorable ones, the story is left floating in the wind.
The director, M. Night I'm not sure to why he makes such movies, the only one that really got to me would be the Avatar: The Last Airbender film, a film that could destroy the lovely reputation of its animated series but before I set of on that I think to me some of his ideas lately seem to becoming from childhood thoughts, dreams and games which we played when we were young, the feeling of what started to give that off would be The Lady In The Water film, it really tried to give some form of hope in that film that there was some childhood story's to which are really are real and hope to adults not to give up in hope in such things. The Happening in scenes where they are escaping the wind really reminded of a childhood game where I used to run away from the sun when I was little when it would start to shine through the clouds, an odd link for me to make between the two but that's just my analysis of M. Night.
Overall a film that starts of with great promise but like so many others it doesn't keep it.
