This is a weird movie (overlooked and boycotted because everyone hates the director with a passion), but a kinda-sorta good movie all the same. It has commendable points to make about hate and prejudice, but overall it was a bit too New Age for me, tossing around bizarro ideas about humans evolving into energy beings and the interconnectedness of the universe. The ending especially drives home the "May the force be with you" attitude, and takes away any realism the movie might have had. The storyline is basically "The Green Mile" meets "Carrie" meets "Phenomenon" meets "E.T.," and it left me with a truly odd feeling. I appreciate the moral, but it's less the moral that sticks with you than "Well, THAT was different."
7/10 stars.
