faith

I mean they try to make it act like she imagined the whole thing during the hearings, but never once bring up the fairly strong factual evidence that supports her theory (i.e. the videotape). It's good in one sense and horribly annoying in another sense

Aliens are hydrophobic, say it ain't so. It's still a pretty good movie though.

the tapes are inconclusive—the elapsed time seems to corroborate her story but there are no images or other supporting evidence. The time elapsed could have resulted from a malfunction.

I see the tapes as similar to Christian icons like the Shroud of Turin or the sliver of the cross that some point to as “proof” of God’s existence. Since faith is the cornerstone of Christianity, verifiable evidence of God’s existence would essentially undermine the basis for the religion. The priest sums it up when he asks Elle if she loved her father. She says, “yes.” And the priest responds: “prove it.”

I couldn't believe it when Madelaine Stowe DIED!

The second book starts with boromir getting killed and so on so if they ended it at a better time then maybe it would have been a good cliff-hanger. TTT doesn't even come close the same ending as the book it's missing like 5 chapters from the end of book 2, wherein Gollum leads sam and frodo through the spider queen Shalob's cave and frodo gets killed leaving sam with the responsibility of delivering the ring, just as sam finds out Shalob's venom doesn't kill it just knocks out from some orcs that are carrying frodo's lifeless body away to take back to their commander. And it ends with sam realizing he has to save Frodo who is still alive but in orcs hands now. IMO that would have been a much better way to end the second movie and get people very very very excited to see ROTK. once again just my opinion

But when the "group" splits up, it went downhill. Two people decide to have sex which kills them and then the "blind girl" just gives up (the pansy). Then once the lead "escapes" the hypercube, what later follows with the goverment was awful. Nice try at a dark ending completely ruined.
