The Happening – Not Much Happens

Despite of plethora of bad reviews for M. Night Shyamalan‘s The Happening, i think the movie is not so bad. It definitely is the not the Best of Hollywood or even Best of Shyamalan, the movie is pretty good and watchable.

Unlike the other Shyamalan movies, this has got a simple and straight forward story-line. This seems to be the primary reason not many are happy with it. After a disastrous Lady in the Water, Shyamalan doesn’t try anything extra-ordinary. This is a simple tale shot in a simple way.

But the problem with The Happening is – something tend to happen, but at the end, not much happens and we don’t know why it happened. The plants emitting chemicals theory is not properly explained, or not properly backed up with.

The movie start of well, and ends with a lot of questions unanswered.
