Let me preface these comments by saying that I am a major Night fan!. I look forward to news of his next project and love the stories of his supposed total control over his movies and carte blanche from the studios!. If those stories are true, I have a feeling that era will be ending for Night with the release of The Happening!. I ignored all the pre-release press I could before going to see this movie!. I read none of the reviews, but one word I did catch was "uninspired!." Unfortunately, that one word describes this movie perfectly!. In the first ten minutes of the movie, I thought it was due to the acting and that maybe Mark Wahlberg was miscast!. However, after another ten minutes I realized it wasn't the actors; it was the extremely lame script!. Without giving away any details, this is a disaster film where the disaster "happening" starts with the first scene of the movie!. Unfortunately, no suspense builds and there is absolutely sense of dread or panic on screen and so none translates to the audience!. Surprising, since the 21st century has provided us with too many occasions to study how we react in times of disaster, whether by nature or terrorism!. It's as if Night ignored all this when writing the story!. The characters sleepwalk through the scenes (and, no, it's not a symptom of "the happening") with no believable sense of the horrible events taking place!. Granted, we don't need to see people running around in circles screaming and crying, but people do not stand in small groups after a disaster calmly taking turns talking one at a time!. Without sharing in any of the horror that the characters are suppose to be experiencing, the film is a total bore for the audience and the source of "the happening" is laughable when revealed!. I found myself repeatedly checking my watch, saying, "I can't believe how bad this is" – not something I'd expect to do in a Night movie!. Looking around the theater, I could tell others were sharing the same feelings!. Most were scrolling through emails or texting on their phones!.
During the movie, since I wasn't paying much attention to the screen, I started thinking that there might be a good reason why most filmmakers do not have total control over their films!. When they do, they can reach a point that it seems Night may have reached, where they say, "I'm going to make people scared when the wind blows" and actually believe themselves!. Maybe other producers or execs can step in at that point and bring the filmmaker back to reality!. I'm not giving up on Night, but I'll feel better if his next film is not "Written, Produced and Directed by M!. Night Shyamalan!."Www@Enter-QA@Com

Reports tell me!.!.!.!. first 20mins are excellent!. thereafter it fails miserably!! & Wahlbergs acting is as wooden as ever!. However the story within it!.!. about his relationship with his wife is well written!Www@Enter-QA@Com
I really enjoyed it, until the very end, where it looked to me like Night got bored writing so he just tossed whatever at the end!. Have a good time!Www@Enter-QA@Com
