As a Pantheist, I'm going to have to say that this film has very little to do with Naturalism at all, it is very clearly a Scientology movie. Why? Because of the imagery of religions used throughout the movie vs science. It seemed that the whole movie was bent on debunking world religions (mainly Christianity but not the only one) in favor of the belief that what we think of as 'God' are an alien civilization and angels are these aliens and we as humans are their pets. God in the Christian belief think of us as his children and will save us, maybe not all but most. Scientology is a lot more discriminate and only a select few strong believers or listeners can be saved by these alien god-like beings.

Personally I enjoyed most of the movie until close to the end when they realized they needed to go back to Lucinda's trailer. THEN I thought it got really distasteful and basically preached that religions are wrong and our souls and being belong to a more advanced race of aliens, who will pick a very select few who goes and place us into a whole new planet where we can start this whole stupid cycle all over again like good little science experiments. Blah! Is what I say to that.

I think it was a happy ending. When the two kids [supposingly to be like Adam and Eve] were in a beautiful environment. The world was going to burn anyways. It wasn't the people's fault that they were going to die so you would think they'd go to heaven. If they go to hell they deserve it. One thing though.. Even if Caleb and the other girl grew up,have a baby, and the baby grew up, how would the baby reproduce? The child can't do anything to the father

If this is just a movie for you then why are you making such a big deal of it?

I agree wat Greg Said..why would you believe in aliens. on the other side. The Creator of the Film was not aware in the likeness of God.

Well this movie goes to show the 'Pleiadians' - (whisper people/alien/angel beings) The Supermodels with blonde hair etc in this galaxy and i ain't bullshytting ya. These beings are real. Movies and popular fiction are just another subtle way of revealing the hidden truth in this human society. Whatever that means. And it's not just movies out nowadays, it's books, video of ufo sightings, billy meiers,the ufo disclosure not that long ago and whatever else. But i am seriously sick and tired of just reading books and watching videos about this stuff I am fed up I just want to see them appear to us infront of the world. There is no harm in that since alot of people have already claimed to have seen them personally, but all else it's kept private. If the pleiadians want to send us a message then make a big Landing already.

This movie i believe can be looked at many ways...... It depends on how you yourself portray it...... When i seen the end all i could think about was these whispers weren't Aliens persay but angels and the kids at the end were taking up in what christians and myself believe to be what they call rapture...... In other parts of the movies u seen Nicholas Cage in front of the Angels then they showed him their real image thats when he blacked out, i always heard when angels show their true selves people cant handle it just like in the bible when Angels showed their true form...... The children then were then taken to the new Earth...... Im a christian so i always look to my lifestyle as to what i portray a ending to a movie or a book might actually be telling me........

 Do unto others as you would have other do unto you. Be polite and courteous at all times. Remember that you’re not communicating with a computer screen but with a human being who has thoughts and feelings just like you. So, always think of the person on the receiving end of the messages.
 Do not TYPE IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS for emphasis. IT LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE SHOUTING. If you need to emphasize a word, use asterisks, like*this or lines like_this_.
 Remember that the written word is hard to interpret. When you speak to someone, that person can heat the tone of your voice. If they can see you, they can take visual clues form your face and body to understand your meaning better. All of this is list in text, and sometimes responses can come across as mean or rude, even when you did not intend them this way. This is the reason some people use emoticons (visual clues) in their e-mails; it saves a lot of confusion.
 Be careful not to use rude or bad language online. Many providers will terminate you account.
 Don’t break any laws. When you’re on the net, follow the same rules of behavior that you would in real life. Remember, if it is against the law in the real world, it is against the law in cyberspace.
 Be universal. Other users have different Web browsers, different online services, different e-mail programs, etc. So don’t, for example, send out e-mail with text formatting—boldface, italics, indentations, etc.—because many other programs will not be able to read the formatting, and the recipients will receive your e-mail filled with muddled codes.
 Be brief, whenever possible. No one wants to read through a lot of unnecessary information. If you are replying to an e-mail, try editing out unimportant information and anything that is repeated.
 Don’t flame. Do not send rude or offensive e-mails or postings. It is bad manners and can get seriously out of hand (flame wars). So don’t flame others, and, if you are flamed, do not respond; you will never win. If you are flamed in forum or chat room, or, if you receive hateful e-mail, let your parents or teachers know.
 Always identify yourself. If your parents require you to use an online name instead of your real one, that’s fine—use your online name constantly. Never send e-mail without including your name at the bottom of the e-mail. Similarly, don’t post forum messages without identifying yourself; this is seen as rude.
 Make a good impression. Remember that written word is the only way you can represent yourself online, so spelling and grammar count. If you are going to be writing a large amount of text for other people to see, make sure you break it up using paragraphs; it will make it easier on the eye for those that will read it.
 Be patient with newcomers. Once you have become an Internet expert, it is easy to forget that you started out as a newbie, too. Learning the rules of cyberspace is much like learning a new language; it takes practice and including mistakes. So, if you come across someone else’s mistakes on the Net, don’t put them down; just politely point them in the right direction for guidance (send them a copy of these rules to get them started on their way!).

Wouldn't that be a likely possiblity? How else could they have descibed something they never saw? When Columbus arrived in America he thought the natives were Indians and thus, the natives thought they were gods...until they started getting slaughtered. But how else would someone, thousands of years ago, describe something like that other than "spiritual". It is not unlikely that we've been wrong all along and that indeed, the "all mighty" will return and save those that deserve to be saved.

This movie explores the likely possibility that yes, we were placed in this world by a power and knowledge greater than our own, being god or alien. secondly it is likely that over thousands of years of man kinds existance humans have painted their own interpretation of a superior being as God when in reality god and its heavenly angels are truly an advance civilization...That is more likely to be possible than the existance of God. Take a look at the ending of the movie, as the kids rise with the "aliens" there are angle type wings on their backs. Who is to say that God and angels are to appear out of the clouds as portreyd by Michael Angelo? In the past and until this day that has been the image painted by all who portray the coming of God, but is it an accurate portreyal or simply the only way to describe what is unexplainable? Until that day comes, we will never know.

Yes, I thought the same thing. I think the message is that God is simply mans explanations for something bigger than him/herself. Much like the new civilization that is going to be created. How will they explain their origins? Something simple that people will buy and not question.

Edwin is right: maybe angels can travel without vehicles capable of preserving life, but not the kids. Erik, Lucinda probably suggested the time capsule because of the voices telling her what to do and the numbers. The ambulance crew did not even turn around when the police guy shot in the air, which was weird; good one with them being there at that time, but maybe they just happened to be there on the way to or from somewhere else. When Koestler was figuring out the numbers, he was kind of drunk already and he did not know he was looking at the date yet. It feels ok to me, just maybe very improbable to find 9/11, but the whole movie is about coincidences. The other points you make are pretty good. Nice!

you guys are dumb---- witheaut being soo rude :) i agree with you! I don't know how many of you read about it or heard but the most realstic fact that we know right now is that so called aliens are light beings such as angels. So my opinion is that the movie interpreted it the most realistic way possible. This is my opinion and don't mind if anyone has a different one as long as they can bring proof. As one proof i tell you to read of the Saint Mary of Guadalupe showing in Mexic a lot of years in the past where had beem spotted ufo's in the same time and repeated days after her dissapearance. This is just one interesting fact. The real truth will probably know in time. Untill then i wish you all to see only quality movies with great actors such as N. Cage. Please excuse me if i made mistakes english isn't my national language.
