(based on a single theater viewing)
Signs is part-scifi, part-thriller and part-fantasy/horror,
all of which work for me. But it also is part a drama of faith, which
crashes big time because this storyline has the predictable simplicity
of an episode of "Touched by an Angel." As a result, I consider this
one of the more over-hyped movies of the year and a great disappointment.
However, it does have textbook 3-act structure.
