Last night I saw the new Mel Gibson movie Signs. It was exactly as you would expect it to be: creepy in parts, hokey in parts, with a dash of dark humor here and there when you least expected it. The plot was credible. I won't say believeable, because there's a certain amount of suspension of disbelief that goes on with any sci-fi movie, it's not like you're expected to believe that the aliens have been secretly impersonating humans all this time, or anything like that.
It's not a movie, though, that will "last" well. Lots of movies I can watch over and over again, and I just don't see this movie having that kind of staying power. Once you watch it, it's like "OK, I've seen it, I know the answer to the mystery", and that's it. But it does make for a nice 2 hour excursion.
3 out of 5 stars.
