You can only see it once


See this NOW, in the theater. Don't wait for a DVD or stream it. Pay attention. In the theater you are isolated, there are no distractions. Turn off the cell phone, don't just mute it.

Afterward, you may be tempted to see it again. Don't waste your time, it's no longer a new movie, a new experience.

Many years ago I saw THE SIXTH SENSE in a theater. It was fascinating. It was one of the best movies I've seen. Years later, I saw it at home, on a DVD. I didn't understand what I found so fascinating about seeing it the first time. It was a dull, routine film.

Some movies you can only see once. See it right. I think this is true of all of Shyamalan's movies.

Nice try! But, unfortunately, Cinemas are still death traps with this pandemic going on. And besides, the movie is mediocre at best, with a boring Hollywood ending where the teens survive and report to the police.

Death traps…..yeah, whatevs, dude.

I’ve been to about 20 movies, minimum since Covid started and am 47 and overweight…..still kickin.

Don't worry, you've got 43 months left.

Signs still scares the crap outta me. Me focused only on that movie in a dark room..... I still scream or jump at every alien sighting in that movie and I've seen it multiple times.

I might or might not watch this again once it's on DVD or streaming or something, just to catch things I missed.
