    I really wish I could give negative stars...

    One of the worst films I have watched in recent years. It has a very good concept, but it was just overwhelming overshadowed by horrible acting and a very lousy script.

    I usually never write reviews, but this film forced me to write this as a warning message: please don't watch it.
    6benjaminskylerhill

    An often profound, sometimes stupid, but ultimately original thriller.

    If you knew you were to die today, what would you wish to change about the way you lived your life?

    This is one of the themes Shyamalan explores in this astutely-directed, mostly tense, high-concept thriller, and it does result in some genuinely intelligent, emotionally resonant character beats that I did not expect.

    Unfortunately, some clunky dialogue, a couple bad actors, and too many repetitive scenes that seem to only stretch the runtime prevent this from being the great film that it could have been.

    At least its original

    What to watch? The new gi joe? How about f9? No I think we will settle for old.

    This movie is unlike any movie I've ever seen, the acting is strange, the plot is strange, the camera work is nauseating at times. And some of the reveals are not done amazingly.

    But at least its original, the plot makes sense, and when talking about it to my friends I found I always had the proper answer for peoples actions and decision making.

    The best characters are midsized sidan and the crazy doctor and his wife.

    The movie has many scenes of exposition that is not hid very well, but overall I think its a movie that begs being seen. I in no way regret watching it and in fact want to watch it again to solidify my opinion .

    In a time with a lot of movies that you have already seen I guarantee that love it or hate it, you haven't seen anything like it.

    Interesting, Different From Most Movies Being Made Today

    A strange movie that certainly has many flaws but still one that makes you think. There is some cringy child acting and some of the horror (the broken bones lady) is over the top, but it's an original story that holds your interest for the runtime of the film. Not one of Shyamalan's best but it's a pretty good film and one that is at the very least different from the endless action flicks that are produced these days.

    Something's missing

    The story is interesting, but there's not enough suspense. There's something missing.

    • Trivia
      The film is an adaptation of a 2010 graphic novel by writer Pierre-Oscar Lévy and artist Frederik Peeters called Sandcastle. When asked what inspired him to adapt the book to film, director M. Night Shyamalan explained: "The book gave me the opportunity to work through a lot of anxieties I had around death and aging, and things like my parents getting older."
    • Goofs
      When they remove the tumor from Prisca, many characters put their hands into the incision. The characters do not wash their hands before touching the open incision. Later in the film, Charles is infected by a cut from a rusty knife. Following this logic, Prisca's incision should have become infected and caused sepsis, killing her.
    • Quotes

      Guy: Were we fighting about something?

      Prisca: We were.

      Guy: Well... whatever it was, I'm not mad anymore. I can't remember - why did we want to leave this beach? So beautiful... It doesn't matter. It's funny, I forget the word... it's about my feelings for you.

      Prisca: I know.
