That's exactly how I felt when I saw it. I remember thinking the whole movie was a backstory and creation myth. I was actually really excited to see the next (inevitable, I thought) installment. Sadly, we got The Village and Signs, two of the biggest pieces of shit to ever make it to the big screen (or so I thought, then both got blown out of the water by that weird Will Smith/Shyamalan Scientology collaborative, After Earth--affectionately known to those who saw it as Afterbirth). To me Unbreakable should have been the start of something beautiful, but sadly became the pinnacle of a career that could have been.Unbreakable was the preamble to an interesting movie. It was not, unfortunately, an interesting movie.
I don't know, dude. That movie must have been an unholy type of terrible! I don't mind bad movies. I rarely complain about a bad movie, because I like the experience of going to the theater and all that goes with it. However, every once in a Blue Moon I'm just miffed that I'll never get those two hours back. AE falls under that heading. It was the least subtle, worst acted, bull-in-a-china-shop type of two hour long Scientology commercial that anyone could ever dream up. A monster alien that smells, and preys upon fear? C'mon, that's just lazy.
