...blockbuster crowd, a generally warm-weather group, likes familiarity. They so love it when a movie has a number at the end of its title that, in cases like ID4, they will actually add one where none exists. They like attractive, squabbling, invariably "brilliant" scientists who do stupid things: piss off dinosaurs, drive into tornadoes, piss off dinosaurs AGAIN.

...necessary for the townsfolk, who are stupid and sinful in more ordinary ways, to avoid being drawn into his vengeful scheming, to find a sweet hereafter in which they can at least partly heal. It is a young woman (Sarah Polley)--surely the daughter Stephens wishes he might have had--who opens them to that state of grace in this solemn, subtly structured, beautifully acted and ultimately hypnotic movie...
