This movie got a lot of grief, but I liked it. It was simultaneously a let down and scary to see the alien. As far as aliens go, it’s a pretty boring generic biped. But the suspense and buildup to seeing it, and the way they presented the scene as the viewer seeing it recorded alongside terrified people was great. Nailed it.
Maybe the worst aspect of the movie was the beyond-the-grave prompts regarding water and baseball bats. Meh. But the rest was pretty good.
-
Yes, the entire movie got retroactively bad because of that really atrocious ending.
If you watch half of it and then stop, it's probably a good movie. But that first half is bad if you know the ending.
-
If you see it as a movie about demons and not aliens it makes way more sense
-
I tend to be the kind of person that needs a movie to stick the landing, but for some reason I still enjoy this movie even though the ending really is stupid (and makes the whole movie stupid).
I think the movie did a great job of making this alien invasion feel real. Not like shaky cam style real. But the way catastrophes happen in real life. Where it starts as nothing, then is something that can and often is ignored, until eventually you can’t ignore it.

Could’ve easily been a screenshot of the last air bender

There is no movie in Ba Sing Se.

What scene is that?
-
It's from Signs. It's the first time you see the aliens, from a shakycam newscast. Scared the hell out of little me.

I heard Gen Z was soft but wow. We were watching dismemberment, head explosions, main characters die in torment; I saw Peter Weller turned into Swiss cheese and marinara, I saw Toxie fuck his girlfriend in an alley with his ear melting off, I saw mother Vorhees pulp campers, all before I was thirteen.

SFW version of trauma ("There's Something About Mary", zipper scene)

Was I the only one pissed off that the Brazilian kids suddenly speak English in that scene? “It’s behind!”

Might want to throw a trigger warning on this post mate. 😋

The aliens that were allergic to water invaded a planet that's 71% covered in water. Such a stupid movie, such a bad director.
-
They're not aliens. They're demons.
You never actually see a spaceship. They don't ever show any technology or even clothing.
And they're defeated with an act of faith.

Lieutenant Colonel Henry Blake's plane was shot down over the Sea of Japan. It spun in. There were no survivors.
That's real childhood trauma.

One of the goats in my opinion
-
Thank god I got traumatized. If I would’ve seen the movie as an adult, I would have hated it.
-
It was so weird. People liked i that movie enough to go and start making crop circles in the cornfields outside town.

Move, children. Vamanos.

What's þe scene from?
-
Signs.
-
That was the dumbest movie. Their weakness is water? If you get in a fight with them, you can win by peeing on them. Children with super soakers could take them out. Hell, even an army of excitable Chihuahuas could. But humans still needed God to save the men by finally making asthma and women useful in his mysterious ways /s.

Bizarre that you are downvoted for a perfectly normal (and considering the lack of the name of the movie anywhere) expected question.

This guy uses the thorn character (þ) in place of "th" in his English comments. It's basically the same sound, just a different way to type it.
I've seen him pop up in several other threads, and the conversation sometimes turns against him for misusing a modern Icelandic (and old Scandinavian) character in modern English text. He sometimes gets downvoted for it.
EDIT: I just glanced at his profile and he gets downvoted a lot. Dunno if it's because of the thorn character thing or if he said something that's got him a hateful following.
-
He gets downvoted for using þ instead of th
-
Nah, I'm pretty sure it's because they are swapping "th" for "þ" and it gives some... different energy. LLMs don't work like this person seems to believe they do. A simple character swap isn't going to do anything to slow an LLM down. It will just swap the character back. However, it's not even going to bother with "What’s þe scene from?" because it's not a comment worth scraping. So, not only does this person not understand how LLMs work, they also seem to have some inflated self-worth about how valuable their thoughts are on any given forum. They aren't being downvoted for the question, just the way they asked it.

Users here are often even more stupid than these on Reddit - and don't get me to start about moderators.

Since no one else answered
"Signs" (2002) by M. Night Shyamalan

Ah. I've seen it, but found it an eminently forgettable movie. It was þe crop circles and religious overtones one, right?

It’s no Mr Pipes.
I’d take that over my generation’s childhood trauma any day:
official canon
And Henry Blake paddled a liferaft onto the Tracy Ullman show.
Yeah this was way more traumatizing than anything Signs had.
And Signs had Mel Gibson, so that's really saying something.
You're gonna have to fill me in here. I don't know this reference.
The horse the audience has grown attached to becomes depressed, and allows himself to sink slowly beneath the mud. The boy understands what is happening and that the depression is going to kill his friend. He pleads and panics as the horse very graphically sinks out of sight with an incredibly disturbing practical effect that must have been real life animal cruelty. Then the boy is left alone in the swap. It's a fucking brutal scene that symbolizes suicide.
The Never Ending Story (1984)
The Neverending Story. That's the scene where Artax the horse gives up and let's the bog of depression drown him
Never ending story the horse is with the kid through thick and thin then gets stuck in a swamp and kid has to leave him behind.
Atreyuu
A scene from The Never Ending Story. They travel through the Swamp of Sadness.

I know this one but not the one from the post. Is it slender man is something?
Here's some more trauma:
The novel it's based on makes it clear that The Neverending Story is a psychic parasite that traps young readers in an escapist fantasy, never growing up, never facing your real fears, just endless running down an egocentric treadmill of main character syndrome.
I read the book (as a kid) and didn't get that from it at all, but that sort of subtlety would have gone over my head. I'll have to read it again if I can bring myself to do it.
I do remember seeing the movie after reading the book and being pretty annoyed as the movie only covers about the first half.
Good news bad news, I loved that movie as a kid and have zero recollection of that scene. I’m guessing I didn’t get the implication. “Oh he lost his horse”.
Hey, I caught both of these! Yay?
100% what I expected on the sign
indistinct yelling of mothers name
How did a guy like that ever end up married to a lady named Moon Child?
