This story can be crazy and ridiculous at some points but the message that it tries to pass through is very important. Nature and polution. Plants are tired of humans polluting the world so they start to release toxins that lead humans to kill themselves. Yes, it's strange and pretty much nonsense. But looking at it on the other way it's at least a different story about the global warming than the usual stuff we are used to see. It's full of suspense and some of the scenes were people are killing themselves are so creepy and chilling. The feeling of fear it's in the air. I think the thing that didn't worked well for me was Mark Wahlberg, he can't convince me. I don't think he is a good actor and because of that I can't say if it was supposed to him to play a crazy character like that or if it's just him that is bad.

I waited 10 years to watch this because everyone said it was awful. Not a bad flick after all. If you like Stephen King or M. Night Shyamalan then you might like this.

If anyone ever asks me what the worst movie I've ever seen is, I quickly and easily tell them that it is this movie. I actually saw it in theaters and left the theater absolutely stunned at how awful it was.
