Did you ever learn something the hard way? They didn't know water would hurt them. Or Maybe it had to be physical water mix with sunlight that hurts them. Bleach and ammonia can hurt you over time if you breathe it in separately, but if you mix bleach and ammonia and breathe it in, it wil kill you.

Roanoke Gaming actually explained that, water vapor and liquid water are vastly different quantities from each other, And the aliens because of their camouflage and ability likely have a far thinner Phosphalyfid bi-layer than us, that is the membrane on our skin that keeps water out, and theirs is so thin that liquid water can easily get in the cells and over-saturate them causing them to explode. Water vapor is not enough to do it and they can breath our atmosphere, so obviously they can take it. They likey came from a desert planet were liquid water is not that common. And he theorized that the aliens were likey desperate for a new home so they took a risk and failed.
@@K37-h1znot really the aliens were staying to the shadows until they were ready to attack, the alien revealed itself on TV as a scare tactic to intimidate the masses of Earth. And if you remember we were struggling against them until their weakness was discovered, thousands had died from them, the aliens weren't completly stupid.
It's been almost 5 years and still this is one of my favorite reviews. This is my go-to "my depression is trying to get the better of me" reviews and never has failed to bring laughter even in the darkest times. Thank you, Doug.
The Name's Christian It had two heavy wooden tables propped up against it, it would take you about a day to figure out how to get out of a door that has been blocked when you are an alien and don’t know its blocked or how to operate a door in the first place.
& they cant blast it with a alien weapon of somekind? i mean these are aliens who are millions light years ahead of us in technology but they dont have the fire power to break down a wooden door
yeah no what sense does that make unless there like a xenomorph which they dont seem to be these aliens brought there advanced alien space ships years above our technology but your telling me they didnt bring any weapons thats even more stupid than than the thing about the wooden doors
it literally says in the movie why they dont use their weapons. i wonder if someone above a third grade education analyzed this. *cough cough* get stuckmannized *cough cough*
My mother was so inspired when this movie came out. Oh, dont get me wrong, she hated this movie, but she used the aluminium hat idea so she could be a giant Hershey's kiss for Halloween (true story by the way)
@Dagoberto Henriquez Benitez actually, no, she really did that xD she even did a similar thing to the top of her head like what they did in this movie (to recreate the top of the Hershey kiss costume). It inspired her whole costume

The Aliens as demons would have been a better twist. Explains why they don't have technology and go around naked. Also explains the importance of Gibson finding his faith, sort of blessing the water into holy water or something.
@@the_once-and-future_king. We never saw the ships directly or knew where they came from, so they might have as well have been demonic chariots or something.
@@monsterhanna6691 Why invade in the first place then?!? Oh this species is gonna fight back, better not use our advanced technology to easily subjecte them! Stupid. And again why invade a planet that is literally like Planet Acid to them without protection? They're either stupid or uninformed.
She has prophetic dreams and subconsciously is drawn to water because her purpose is to turn it into holy water so it will protect them from the demons.
Ryan the entire story of the movie is mel gibsons struggle to regain his faith. It literally has nothing to do with the aliens if you look past the surface. Have you ever analyzed a movie or read a book?
Honestly, the real scariest part of the movie is when the dog barks. The sound quality is so clear and you think he's just gonna growl that it legit comes out of nowhere and scared the heck out of people. Shamylan could probably make a good movie out of just that barking dog.
I know this video is old but the reason he didn’t call a vet for the dog is because the town veterinarian is M. Night’s character. Since he killed his wife he didn’t want to call him to come check on his dog preferring to call a doctor instead because of the resentment he has towards him. You’re welcome.
Here is a valid point though. They are an alien race that we are given minimal information about. For all we know, water is a foreign substance to them. Think about humans finding a planet and finding substances that are lethal to us. Entirely plausible, so who is to say that it isn’t the same for aliens. We don’t know what Alien’s planets are like.
@@king_supreme1102 Fair point, but we humans would've been able to send probes to such a planet to analyze the planet, gather some samples, and create solid data on the planet itself before landing; liek we did with the Moon. These Aliens are far more advanced than we are, and apparently lack the common sense with Interplanetary travel. And there were others on Earth before a proper invasion, so some data would've been sent back. THESE ALIENS ARE DUMBER THAN DODOS!
Starman Gaming if you listen to the story the aliens weren’t there to invade and settle down they came to take people as a food source they were probably a starving race on the brink of extinction once they found a food source they jumped at the opportunity sent scouts determined the major populations and sent in the invasion. They weren’t being cautious they were scared and risked everything they had just to find food.
117neoshadow Watch an analysis on the movie. You are also an idiot for not realizing if you went to another planet as a hit and run mission you probably wouldn’t know what any of the substances on it were...
MUHROMATIC when in this movie did it state the aliens were on a “hit and run” mission? The movie never states their intentions as such. I’m getting the idea you watched an analysis video in which somebody put forward their theories (probably trying to explain the massive plot holes away because they enjoy Signs) & are now stating them as fact. Again, the movie never says this, & never gives you any reason not to question aliens choosing to invade a planet that’s almost 80% lethal to them. You can’t make that make sense unless you come up with some bullshit theory.
Can we all talk about the sheer genius of nostalgia critic timing this 16:37 to have an ad play right when he changes the channel??? Even better, the ad that played for me was M. Night Shyamalan’s new movie “Old” 😂😂
why would everything writed on science books change if alien visited? "the aliens are here water is no longer oxygen and hydrogen is made of ass now also gravity is 2dicks/sec"
Asked myself the same thing. You need to wright a lot of NEW books, and you will maybe need to correct some parts of the old ones, but most of sciences would be unimpressed by aliens o.O
Okay people, quick English lesson! It's not "wright", it's w r i t e! DOUBLE-U, AR, AYE, TEE, EH! And it's not "writed on" it's w r i t t e n i n! DOUBLE-U, AR, AYE, AYE, TEE, TEE, EH, EN, SPACE, AYE, EN!
Lol Mel gibson looking through phone: ..... no.... no.... not him, that's the asshole that killed my wife.... hmm..... I guess I should call this dude..... ok I'll call him....
I agree, the parody version is better is than this film that inspired it, and when Scary Movie 3 points out your plot holes, you know you got burned. Scary Movie 3 even makes more sense, in spite of it being a spoof where nothing has to make sense.
The noise of the Aliens shouting ‘Wood!’ Has been in my head for days! I couldn’t remember where it was from, I feel so relieved to have found it :) love the subtitles
Alien 1: You know, I really hate the way that water burns my flesh. Alien 2: I just had a great idea! Alien 1: What? Alien 2: Let's invade that planet with water oceans, water vapor in the atmosphere, and water droplets which fall from the sky. Alien 2: In fact, let's go right now! Don't even bother packing clothes or weapons or anything. Alien 1: I see no issues with this plan. I hope they have short-tempered simians with advanced weapons and wooden doors!
Even then, the movie is implying that the aliens were watching the earth before attacking. You would think, they would see, that there is a lot of wood and water on it. And you would think, that one of them would have get in contact with the water (for example when it rains), so to say, they couldn't know about it is just stupid.
ChangelingTale the commenter That would be a more interesting plot line in they just came to earth to harvest the water to use as a weapon against other races with a similar weakness... or you know, *Don't Make There Weakness Water!!*
To me they always seemed like even more incomprehensible Apulians: In Italy there is this program called "Lo Zoo di 105" made up of sketches and one of these is called "I puglieni" (a portmanteau between "aliens" and "pugliesi") in which the hosts call people in Puglia speaking a few words in the local dialect to make people angry. When I heard the aliens talking in this review I always thought of that series of sketches and I imagined the aliens saying things like: "Are you an asshole? Are you Riccardo's son? Do you make Chinese-style mouthpieces? Fuck those who died for you" to say something like "Who could have imagined that a planet with trees would've had wood?"
Stuckman made a great observation. Shyamalan's character is the vet. It says it on his mailbox. That's why Gibson's character tells the kid to call the doctor instead. It's a great moment where they don't shove it down your throat.
I bet most people didn't notice that he said "Doctor" and not "Vet". Either way, it adds a ton to the characters. This is not a great movie by any means, but it does have a ton of foreshadowing and hints placed throughout. Most movies these days have to spell things out for the audience. If it was spelled out, I doubt it would have made the movie any better. It's just a nice, subtile choice on the director's part.
Wheatley I bet they DID because the scene literally tells you that the person he just named is not a vet. This isn't even foreshadowing because it's not plot relevant. What if his character wasn't the vet but the butcher? It wouldn't change a fucking thing in the story, since the dog dies in a little bit anyway. It's pointless. Foreshadowing is supposed to relate to a major plot point or theme, not just hint at random details because "I'm directing!"
Wheatley Yes, I know who the vet is. You didn't actually answer my question though; what does him being a vet have anything to do with the fact that he killed the wife? Nothing. It's irrelevant. The only reason he is the vet is so that bit with the dog can be set up, and the only value of that bit with the dog is to reference that he's the vet. It's pointlessness tricking people into thinking it's clever. If it was removed, it would change NOTHING in the plot, the theme, the characters, etc. He's hardly even a character, he's just a foreshadowing device; "Hey, it seems like the events unfolding before us are pre-ordained! Also, the aliens don't like water, hint hint. Bye!" He could have been removed entirely, with his two whole sentences of barely-connected relevance said by a number of other characters.
"There's a monster outside my room, can I get a glass of water". 🤔 how did the critic let that line go unscathed? The girl screamed because of a crop circle, but casually got thirsty when she saw A FUCKING MONSTER OUTSIDE HER ROOM?
If a glass of water burns their skin off that fast, then the water in the air would have killed them or driven them off before anyone even knew they were there.
*_99legion, I was in the movie SIGNS as the Army recruiter. I was at the table read of the script. A full cast reading and discussion with the director. This issue came up and he said the water in the air would NOT hurt the aliens. He was a very prepared director and had thought of EVERYTHING including water in air. Who understands it now?_*
I wonder if those aliens can or not fight Woody Woodpecker, Woody from Toy Story, the entire Hollywood or their own, personal _morning wood_. Man, this movie rise more questions than any one expected.
Alien subtitles single-handedly won over my opinion on this movie. Something this funny cannot possibly be wrong. Movie skewered; another piece of my childhood subverted.
Imagine a kid killing an alien with a dollar store water gun? You know those super small water pistols that just sprinkles a bit of water out. How embarrassing for the aliens.
Those aliens must be the alien equivalent of the Alien franchise's humans, just going to an unknown planet without any protecting gear and just touching everything because they suck at what they do
So, I just sorta realized another plothole. If water is acidic to the aliens how can they wade through a cornfield without a scratch on them? Sure water isnt always ALL OVER plants, but wading through a cornfield you're gonna get wet once or twice..
I'm a super intelligent solar system traveling organism. I'm not only going to go walk unprotected among creatures who's literal sweat can kill me but also run around in a tropical rain-forest to scare some kids while breathing in highly destructive acid vapor.
@@WiloPolis03 OMG, you are not that stupid that you don't know that humans can't go into space (or to the bottom of the ocean) w/o high tech equipment protecting them? Humans can't just walk or swim or float around in street clothes in such environments!!
@@DonnaBrooks Yes, obviously I know that, just saying that the aliens could've been in the process of creating technology to withstand water that hadn't fully been developed yet. Mostly, though, that type of plothole doesn't irritate me, because Signs isn't about having super realistic and science-y plotlines. It's about telling the story of a massive apocalyptic disaster from the point of view of just a small family. It's small scale, it's not about big plotlines and crazy advanced tech and stuff. So plotholes like that just don't really affect the experience for me.
Did you ever learn something the hard way? How are you suppose to learn something if it wasn't taught to you first? They had no idea that their weakness was water. Why do you think they left in a hurry? They wanted to harvest human beings, so they got as many as they could and left. Or maybe it had to be physical water mix with sunlight that hurts them. Bleach and ammonia can hurt you over time if you breathe it in separately, but if you mix bleach and ammonia and breathe it in, it wil kill you
Dino-MYT G A M I N G show some...respect? To the man who created The Happening & Lady in the Water? Oh god, you’re hilarious. Am I not allowed to call Alien Covenant a shitty movie because it’s director previously made Alien, a bonafide classic? Nope, all movies are free reign when it comes to criticism. No respect is owed, & humor can be made at any director’s expense. Nobody’s unaware that the critic has a bias, we just mostly happen to agree with him on this one. You’re more than welcome to disagree, but don’t tell people they’re being disrespectful, as if Shyamalan is a holy figure or some shit 😂
And what tells us they came to earth by ship? For all we know, they could've never evolved past the stone age and those lights we see in the sky earlier in the movie were some kind of space portals which they crossed by accident. The fact the aliens voluntarily came to attack earth is pure headcanon and in no way does it count as valid criticism
My girlfriend and I watched this movie the other night. All of a sudden, she starts laughing her ass off. When I asked her why. She said, "Oh my God, the aliens are Irkins from Invader Zim! Water burns them too!" And proceeded to laugh until she fell off the couch. Thinking about it; she's right. The aliens weren't too bright, just like the Irkin Invaders. They get harmed by water; just like the Irkin Invaders. And they couldn't figure out simple human technology like turning a door knob. Like the Irkin Invaders - I wonder if the aliens' leaders were the Tallest? lmao.
That's it! The premise for Invader ZIM's silver screen outing! We've got to pitch this to Jhonen Vasquez right away: "ZIM Vs. The Wooden Empire"! Brought to you by...Lumber Liquidators! Product placement locked!
To be fair, most Invaders actually are pretty good at their job. It's just ZIM who's a useless nutcase... which is why he was sent to Earth in the first place. O.o
This movie is probably where Jhonen Vasquez ( or another of the writers of the show ) got the inspiration for the irkens' intolerance to water and the episode that illustrated it, " The Wettening "
They're also green, like the Irkin invaders. Zim: "GRR! WHERE ARE THE SHOOTY DOOM THINGS TO OBLITERATE THIS MISERABLE DIRT BALL?!" Grr: "Oh, I left those at home!" Zim: "Left what at home?" Grr: "The shooty, gunny things!" Zim: "Why?!" Grr: "To make room for the nachos!" Zim: "Rrrr....Fine! I'll just conquer these primitive poop-monkeys myself!" (Gets hit with a baseball bat)
@@menecmt5718 very true. And that whole "water killing the alien" dumb plot twist was also unnecessary because it was used way too late into the movie and it was only on ONE alien. And this would ln't has happened if Gibson's character hadn't gone into the house, thus not having to defend himself but call the the freaking sheriff.
I just seen this for the first time. A x it's by far one of the funniest things NC has ever done with those subtitled alien speech. K havent laughed so hard in idk joe long. I wish he did the whole movie doing those in the background.
This made me realize that this movie could have had a comedy spinoff about the aliens, where it explains that they were actually just harmless idiots and all the events of the movie were the aliens just blundering about harmlessly and the humans just wildly over-estimated them.
One subtle thing I liked about it was realizing that he didn’t want to go to the vet because the vet was the one in the car. So he’s rather take the dog to a doctor than see the man who killed his wife.
Still one of the most fun old reviews. And really...he is right, the twist is pretty dumb. I mean what moron goes to invade a planet without weapons and when that planet is basically covered in poison! That's just dumb.
It also means god is a HUGE dick in this movie. He killed the wife to convey his message, when all he needed to do was to tip a water glas or send a short rain fall.
How could they not know about water? Or do you mean that maybe they didn't know water was basically acidic for them? More probable, but also - you know enough about chemistry and physics to develop star-faring technology, but don't know about water molecules and their effects on your body? Come on, that would be the first thing researched when they found a planet with its surface consisting mostly of water.
Fox Valencia They literally couldn't, unless they decide to organize the table in a manner that different than number of electrons/protons and atomic weight. Which is unlikely at best. And, regardless, even if they organized it differently, the elements themselves would still be the exact same elements.
imagine we getting advanced tech to go to space extremely easily so we start invading planets then we decide you know what? lets invade that one planet that is mostly made up of acid thats basically the aliens thoughts
DanTheMan And none of them thought about investigating the mysterious substance that covered 70% of the planet? i don't hate the movie but that is just idiotic.
"Dog anatomy is pretty close to human anatomy, right?" Actually, it IS. SOURCE: I have been a nurse in both human medicine and veterinary science. Can confirm. Not identical, no, but if you imagine a human being on all fours there are many, many anatomical similarities, same organs, many of the same bodily functions, systems etc. Animals also display illnesses in similar ways, however diagnosis is obviously more difficult without the patient being able to communicate their symptoms as easily.
Mindy G And yet humans don't have fur or tails and I don't need to eat my vomit and count it as a meal. Or sniff another human's ass as a way of saying hello.
Except no one would think that bacteria killing aliens is stupid....unless they were stupid themselves and didn't know anything about the history of pathogens.
The bacteria at least has scientific evidence behind it, as seen when the Spaniards invaded the Americas and killed off the natives with smallpox and shit.
@@Rorschach003 If they had no deadly microbes on their planet, why would it be something that would ever enter their mind?Humans explore places all the time w/o being fully prepared b/c you don't know what to prepare for until you encounter it. Did the astronauts take weapons to the moon? What if they encountered some hostile life form that attacked them? How would they defend themselves?
20:28 I love the critics joke of the aliens talking over all this, but after watching this a few times my brain actually processed how...meaningless what the real actors are saying actually is. I legitimately cannot understand why that much emphasis was put on a dad randomly taking his elder child aside in a crisis to tell him that the first words he heard were "hi Morgan I'm your mother". It's clearly meant to be a powerful moment of comfort, but the actual content of the special moment was pure NOTHINGNESS! Not to mention that then means he's ignoring the younger kid while aliens break into the house and they're standing around panicking instead of looking for a place to be safe?!
I love the theory about Signs that, even though they're considered aliens, they're actually demons. The way they look, behavior, and the aversion of water?
what if they're landing in swamp or on the coast before high tide or better yet spring tide - but I'm curious are they only effected by sweat water or also by salt water and what's with sour rain?
And here we are, a lot of years later and with the best Joaquin Phoenix performance yet: Joker. Can't believe how wasted he feels in this movie. He's still in my top 5 actors currently working.
Reminds me of in "Scary Movie 3" where he's like "Wait- you're telling me they've mastered Intergalactic Space Travel and they can't get past a *wooden door??"*
Harvey Milk Or ... THERE WAS NO DOOR. flashback flashback flashback.... : "sometimes, people only see what the want to see..." [gasp] IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!
well if you think about it maybe they don't have wood or water we saw that life can exist in acid and use some crazy way to live by who knows look for example us humans like chocolate but give it to a dog in high dozes and the dog dies its liver fails my dog eat two snikers and died its how the main specie evolvs and gets stronger and the weaker ones die but to have logic and go to a chemical hazard planet like it would be for us venus titan (the moon of saturn where it rains methan gass )or on venus where it rains and it exists lakes and lakes of sulphuric acid or uranus where its atmosfear is loaded of mercury a toxic metal liquid , anyway off topic here what i meant is if they would check the planet first with some robots yeah they would have beatan us but go blind in the dark and be cannon meat yeah that preaty idiotic to a superadvanced race of aliens to me anyway
Texas is safe too, but then again seeing as how the aliens don't seem to use any weapons we'd probably just use them for target practice before we decided to rely on wood and water.
Yeah but at this point it's ridiculous. At no point will there be a race so advanced that it won't know how to open a fucking wooden door, everything about the mere existence of a door explains what it is and how to solve it's ludicrously simple puzzle.
They are advanced sure but that doesnt mean they are body builders. brain develops so other features fade. Put a 100 lb man in a locked pantry and see if they break down the door.
@@ryanr4361 well he could bust open the door pretty quickly if he could just shoot it with some kind of crazy advanced space age weapon which is absolutely what should of happened, or hell why send infantry at all just nuke em from orbit. (That was just an expression by the way "blow em up with an artillery strike," just isn't as catchy)
Just realized something, the plot makes even less sense, if what the creepy military dude said was true. I mean what kind of recon operation lands on a planet filled with water and wood and then gives the waiting invading army the all clear?
My theory is that this planet figured out a way to get rid of their criminals and other undesirables. "So, what's Earth like?" "Its covered in... candy. Yeah, candy." "Sounds nice."
Aliens: yes the planets surface is covered in a strange liquid that burns our skin and this mysterious wooden stuff that we can't seem to get past... Perfect planet to invade
Even when it's never said that ALL water in general hurts the aliens? If so, they would've been fucking dead at this point, especially out in the open and holding a fucking kid.
Monster Hanna is there a comment you haven’t replied to with this exact same response? How about this: They never state that all water DOESN’T hurt them. Why do you keep hammering in the point that nobody stares all water hurts them? If the film doesn’t tell you otherwise, & it shows water harming the aliens, the logical conclusion is that it’s their weakness. To try & explain away that silly twist by saying “Well, who’s to say that every type of water harms them?” is seriously, seriously silly...just think about it for a second. That’s the way you think such a goofy twist can be explained away? How about this: Water hurting them being a plot point at ALL is stupid to begin with. Maybe write a better twist, so people won’t have to jump through hoops & over hurdles to try & explain this stupid twist in a way that sounds any less silly?

You know crops need to be watered. Crops are usually fairly moist even if there is not enough water to kill them it should have hurt them like crazy.
Plus, the wet ground. It would be like having a sunburn on the bottom of your feet at the very least.
Why didn't they wear raincoats?
You're right. I'd never even thought of that. There'd be dew on those crops, on grass, on metal.

@@bocowan9106 Well they do, they're only human
It seems that Shyamalan have forgotten that our atmosphere is full of water vapor so that should’ve killed the aliens instantly
Not to mention morning dew, and clouds, and rain, and ice, and about a million other forms of water across the entire planet.
Maybe it had to be water vapor mixed with sunlight? Or maybe it had to be physical water mix with sunlight that hurts them.

It had two heavy wooden tables propped up against it, it would take you about a day to figure out how to get out of a door that has been blocked when you are an alien and don’t know its blocked or how to operate a door in the first place.
& they cant blast it with a alien weapon of somekind?
i mean these are aliens who are millions light years ahead of us in technology but they dont have the fire power to break down a wooden door

Maybe they have no need for such weapons? Also the alien in the pantry was unarmed.
yeah no what sense does that make unless there like a xenomorph which they dont seem to be
these aliens brought there advanced alien space ships years above our technology but your telling me they didnt bring any weapons thats even more stupid than than the thing about the wooden doors

it's been years and the whole "MOSTLY COVERED IN WATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" bit still cracks me up
The Aliens as demons would have been a better twist. Explains why they don't have technology and go around naked. Also explains the importance of Gibson finding his faith, sort of blessing the water into holy water or something.
No technology...except the numerous glowing spaceships they travel in?
@@the_once-and-future_king. We never saw the ships directly or knew where they came from, so they might have as well have been demonic chariots or something.
@@the_once-and-future_king. Eh... with enough tweaking that could be seen as something supernatural that came off as spaceships to humans...
It's up for interpretation, and they didn't use their technology because they knew that we'd fight back.
@@monsterhanna6691 Why invade in the first place then?!? Oh this species is gonna fight back, better not use our advanced technology to easily subjecte them! Stupid.

She has prophetic dreams and subconsciously is drawn to water because her purpose is to turn it into holy water so it will protect them from the demons.

Honestly, the real scariest part of the movie is when the dog barks. The sound quality is so clear and you think he's just gonna growl that it legit comes out of nowhere and scared the heck out of people. Shamylan could probably make a good movie out of just that barking dog.
Infer and Hey maybe he can make a reboot of Cujo.
'The Barkening'
For fuck's sake, not so loud, he may HEAR YOU!!!
Infer and it scared me even in this review
It's a jumpscare at best.
I saw this in theatres when it first came out as a really little kid and I can confirm that bark was the scariest part.
I know this video is old but the reason he didn’t call a vet for the dog is because the town veterinarian is M. Night’s character. Since he killed his wife he didn’t want to call him to come check on his dog preferring to call a doctor instead because of the resentment he has towards him. You’re welcome.

"Hmm. Probably should have thouhg that through before attacking a planet *MOSTLY COVERED IN WATER!!!*"
I love the delivery of that line so much! XD
That straight up killed me.
Thought*
Here is a valid point though. They are an alien race that we are given minimal information about. For all we know, water is a foreign substance to them. Think about humans finding a planet and finding substances that are lethal to us. Entirely plausible, so who is to say that it isn’t the same for aliens. We don’t know what Alien’s planets are like.
@@king_supreme1102 Fair point, but we humans would've been able to send probes to such a planet to analyze the planet, gather some samples, and create solid data on the planet itself before landing; liek we did with the Moon. These Aliens are far more advanced than we are, and apparently lack the common sense with Interplanetary travel. And there were others on Earth before a proper invasion, so some data would've been sent back. THESE ALIENS ARE DUMBER THAN DODOS!
Starman Gaming if you listen to the story the aliens weren’t there to invade and settle down they came to take people as a food source they were probably a starving race on the brink of extinction once they found a food source they jumped at the opportunity sent scouts determined the major populations and sent in the invasion. They weren’t being cautious they were scared and risked everything they had just to find food.
"Hmm, probably should've thought that through before attacking a planet *Cuts to an image of Earth* MOSTLY COVERED IN WATER!"

Watch an analysis on the movie. You are also an idiot for not realizing if you went to another planet as a hit and run mission you probably wouldn’t know what any of the substances on it were...
MUHROMATIC
no need to be an ass-hat. He’s just quoting the critic
in other news, we are going to send astronauts to a planet of sulphuric acid....NAKED
MUHROMATIC when in this movie did it state the aliens were on a “hit and run” mission? The movie never states their intentions as such. I’m getting the idea you watched an analysis video in which somebody put forward their theories (probably trying to explain the massive plot holes away because they enjoy Signs) & are now stating them as fact. Again, the movie never says this, & never gives you any reason not to question aliens choosing to invade a planet that’s almost 80% lethal to them. You can’t make that make sense unless you come up with some bullshit theory.
Can we all talk about the sheer genius of nostalgia critic timing this 16:37 to have an ad play right when he changes the channel??? Even better, the ad that played for me was M. Night Shyamalan’s new movie “Old” 😂😂
I actually didn’t think this movie was that bad. This and 6th Sense were his only semi decent movies

why would everything writed on science books change if alien visited? "the aliens are here water is no longer oxygen and hydrogen is made of ass now also gravity is 2dicks/sec"
idk why it was writed in science books.
Asked myself the same thing. You need to wright a lot of NEW books, and you will maybe need to correct some parts of the old ones, but most of sciences would be unimpressed by aliens o.O

Alien 1: You know, I really hate the way that water burns my flesh.
Alien 2: I just had a great idea!
Alien 1: What?
Alien 2: Let's invade that planet with water oceans, water vapor in the atmosphere, and water droplets which fall from the sky.
Alien 2: In fact, let's go right now! Don't even bother packing clothes or weapons or anything.
Alien 1: I see no issues with this plan. I hope they have short-tempered simians with advanced weapons and wooden doors!
Hologrampizza so the aliens know what water are before coming to earth is what you're insinuating
No, he was making a joke, that’s what he was insinuating
Even then, the movie is implying that the aliens were watching the earth before attacking. You would think, they would see, that there is a lot of wood and water on it. And you would think, that one of them would have get in contact with the water (for example when it rains), so to say, they couldn't know about it is just stupid.
It would give them advantage if they did it.
ChangelingTale the commenter That would be a more interesting plot line in they just came to earth to harvest the water to use as a weapon against other races with a similar weakness...
or you know, *Don't Make There Weakness Water!!*
I like how your version of the alien language has them sounding like a mix of Klingon and Japanese.
“WOOD!”
To me they always seemed like even more incomprehensible Apulians: In Italy there is this program called "Lo Zoo di 105" made up of sketches and one of these is called "I puglieni" (a portmanteau between "aliens" and "pugliesi") in which the hosts call people in Puglia speaking a few words in the local dialect to make people angry. When I heard the aliens talking in this review I always thought of that series of sketches and I imagined the aliens saying things like: "Are you an asshole? Are you Riccardo's son? Do you make Chinese-style mouthpieces? Fuck those who died for you" to say something like "Who could have imagined that a planet with trees would've had wood?"
Farm life can be scary as Hell, man. I mean, we have wood out here....WOOD!

Stuckman made a great observation. Shyamalan's character is the vet. It says it on his mailbox. That's why Gibson's character tells the kid to call the doctor instead. It's a great moment where they don't shove it down your throat.
So it's a confusing moment unless you catch that irrelevant detail that adds nothing to the plot.
I bet most people didn't notice that he said "Doctor" and not "Vet". Either way, it adds a ton to the characters. This is not a great movie by any means, but it does have a ton of foreshadowing and hints placed throughout. Most movies these days have to spell things out for the audience. If it was spelled out, I doubt it would have made the movie any better. It's just a nice, subtile choice on the director's part.
Wheatley I bet they DID because the scene literally tells you that the person he just named is not a vet. This isn't even foreshadowing because it's not plot relevant. What if his character wasn't the vet but the butcher? It wouldn't change a fucking thing in the story, since the dog dies in a little bit anyway. It's pointless. Foreshadowing is supposed to relate to a major plot point or theme, not just hint at random details because "I'm directing!"
Did you watch the movie? The vet is the one who killed his wife. Do you want a movie without characters?
Wheatley Yes, I know who the vet is. You didn't actually answer my question though; what does him being a vet have anything to do with the fact that he killed the wife? Nothing. It's irrelevant. The only reason he is the vet is so that bit with the dog can be set up, and the only value of that bit with the dog is to reference that he's the vet. It's pointlessness tricking people into thinking it's clever. If it was removed, it would change NOTHING in the plot, the theme, the characters, etc. He's hardly even a character, he's just a foreshadowing device; "Hey, it seems like the events unfolding before us are pre-ordained! Also, the aliens don't like water, hint hint. Bye!" He could have been removed entirely, with his two whole sentences of barely-connected relevance said by a number of other characters.
"There's a monster outside my room, can I get a glass of water". 🤔 how did the critic let that line go unscathed? The girl screamed because of a crop circle, but casually got thirsty when she saw A FUCKING MONSTER OUTSIDE HER ROOM?
"Daddy there's a demon under my sheets, can you tuck me in?"
That is actually quite true. I don’t know why he didn’t notice that either
"daddy, there's a monster in my closet. Can you bake me some cookies?
I'm thinking he let that line speak for itself.
maybe the girl know something abouth the aliens?
The alien dialogue was absolute gold.
DUNKO!
If a glass of water burns their skin off that fast, then the water in the air would have killed them or driven them off before anyone even knew they were there.
Thomas Hall it wasn't acid, it was regular water
He never said it was acid, he was saying the water in the air would've killed or scared off the aliens.
*_Maugre, no the water in the air would NOT have killed them. You don't understand how the water in the air works!_*

*_99legion, I was in the movie SIGNS as the Army recruiter. I was at the table read of the script. A full cast reading and discussion with the director.

You assume they are smarter. I think it's like us.....we have geniuses build guidance systems, and then a kid who can play a video game operates it.
Those aliens must be the alien equivalent of the Alien franchise's humans, just going to an unknown planet without any protecting gear and just touching everything because they suck at what they do
So, I just sorta realized another plothole. If water is acidic to the aliens how can they wade through a cornfield without a scratch on them? Sure water isnt always ALL OVER plants, but wading through a cornfield you're gonna get wet once or twice..

@@DonnaBrooks Yes, obviously I know that, just saying that the aliens could've been in the process of creating technology to withstand water that hadn't fully been developed yet.
Mostly, though, that type of plothole doesn't irritate me, because Signs isn't about having super realistic and science-y plotlines. It's about telling the story of a massive apocalyptic disaster from the point of view of just a small family. It's small scale, it's not about big plotlines and crazy advanced tech and stuff. So plotholes like that just don't really affect the experience for me.

Did you ever learn something the hard way? How are you suppose to learn something if it wasn't taught to you first? They had no idea that their weakness was water.

Water burns them too!" And proceeded to laugh until she fell off the couch. Thinking about it; she's right. The aliens weren't too bright, just like the Irkin Invaders. They get harmed by water; just like the Irkin Invaders. And they couldn't figure out simple human technology like turning a door knob. Like the Irkin Invaders - I wonder if the aliens' leaders were the Tallest? lmao.
That's it! The premise for Invader ZIM's silver screen outing! We've got to pitch this to Jhonen Vasquez right away: "ZIM Vs. The Wooden Empire"! Brought to you by...Lumber Liquidators! Product placement locked!
To be fair, most Invaders actually are pretty good at their job. It's just ZIM who's a useless nutcase... which is why he was sent to Earth in the first place. O.o
This movie is probably where Jhonen Vasquez ( or another of the writers of the show ) got the inspiration for the irkens' intolerance to water and the episode that illustrated it, " The Wettening "

One subtle thing I liked about it was realizing that he didn’t want to go to the vet because the vet was the one in the car. So he’s rather take the dog to a doctor than see the man who killed his wife.
Exactly! It'd surprising on how many people don't pick up on this subtle hint throughout the film.
Still one of the most fun old reviews.
And really...he is right, the twist is pretty dumb. I mean what moron goes to invade a planet without weapons and when that planet is basically covered in poison! That's just dumb.
It also means god is a HUGE dick in this movie. He killed the wife to convey his message, when all he needed to do was to tip a water glas or send a short rain fall.
How could they not know about water? Or do you mean that maybe they didn't know water was basically acidic for them? More probable, but also - you know enough about chemistry and physics to develop star-faring technology, but don't know about water molecules and their effects on your body? Come on, that would be the first thing researched when they found a planet with its surface consisting mostly of water.
Why the fuck is the water thing a twist? It's not like they came out of the water or something. It's just a convenient way to kill them!
They could have a different periodic table than us.
Fox Valencia They literally couldn't, unless they decide to organize the table in a manner that different than number of electrons/protons and atomic weight. Which is unlikely at best. And, regardless, even if they organized it differently, the elements themselves would still be the exact same elements.

Actually, it IS.

Not identical, no, but if you imagine a human being on all fours there are many, many anatomical similarities, same organs, many of the same bodily functions, systems etc. Animals also display illnesses in similar ways, however diagnosis is obviously more difficult without the patient being able to communicate their symptoms as easily.

Becky Nance me to I jumped
Made me jump
... you think *bacteria killing aliens* is kinda stupid!?
Shamaylan: *HOLD MY GLAS OF WATER!*
Except no one would think that bacteria killing aliens is stupid....unless they were stupid themselves and didn't know anything about the history of pathogens.
Yes, but the bacteria thing at least makes sense!
The bacteria at least has scientific evidence behind it, as seen when the Spaniards invaded the Americas and killed off the natives with smallpox and shit.
@@DonnaBrooks No, it is stupid. Are we to assume aliens, this advanced species, didn't think of spacesuits and hazmat suits?
@@Rorschach003 If they had no deadly microbes on their planet, why would it be something that would ever enter their mind?Humans explore places all the time w/o being fully prepared b/c you don't know what to prepare for until you encounter it. Did the astronauts take weapons to the moon? What if they encountered some hostile life form that attacked them? How would they defend themselves?
19:44
Some of the funniest shit. Thanks for making my day!!!!
Dooko
20:28 I love the critics joke of the aliens talking over all this, but after watching this a few times my brain actually processed how...meaningless what the real actors are saying actually is.
I legitimately cannot understand why that much emphasis was put on a dad randomly taking his elder child aside in a crisis to tell him that the first words he heard were "hi Morgan I'm your mother". It's clearly meant to be a powerful moment of comfort, but the actual content of the special moment was pure NOTHINGNESS! Not to mention that then means he's ignoring the younger kid while aliens break into the house and they're standing around panicking instead of looking for a place to be safe?!
OMG, 19:38 is one of the funniest Nostalgia Critic moments ever
God he sounds just like Gilbert Godfried when he yells xD
Those alien voices were the highlight of this review xD
"WOOD!"
I'm dying
23:17
In the aliens defense, that bat is made out of wood. Which is 2 of their biggest weaknesses.
Wood and blunt instruments. It’s super effective!
I love the theory about Signs that, even though they're considered aliens, they're actually demons. The way they look, behavior, and the aversion of water?
I'm not sure how they look like demons, and I don't think demons really have anything against water. Holy water maybe but not water in general
Imagine if they landed on the polar caps
imagine if they landed hours before a massive rainstorm
Or during a hurricane.
Dear God, that'd be like walking on solid lava. THEY'D DIE INSTANTLY
what if they're landing in swamp or on the coast before high tide or better yet spring tide - but I'm curious are they only effected by sweat water or also by salt water and what's with sour rain?
"There were no aliens it was all a hoax" well, that's pretty much "the village".
And here we are, a lot of years later and with the best Joaquin Phoenix performance yet: Joker.
Can't believe how wasted he feels in this movie. He's still in my top 5 actors currently working.
The skywalker aliens should join these aliens.
They'd hate water and sand lol
TheDarkTed Rises their greatest enemy is the dreaded beach
Reminds me of in "Scary Movie 3" where he's like
"Wait- you're telling me they've mastered Intergalactic Space Travel and they can't get past a *wooden door??"*
yeah Scary Movie was better and that says something.
18:34
Please watch the entire video before commenting.
Kneel and prostrate yourselves before the owerwhelming might of the wooden pantry door infidels, for it reings supreme over all.
Harvey Milk Or ... THERE WAS NO DOOR.
flashback flashback flashback.... : "sometimes, people only see what the want to see..."
[gasp] IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!
well if you think about it maybe they don't have wood or water we saw that life can exist in acid and use some crazy way to live by who knows look for example us humans like chocolate but give it to a dog in high dozes and the dog dies its liver fails my dog eat two snikers and died its how the main specie evolvs and gets stronger and the weaker ones die but to have logic and go to a chemical hazard planet like it would be for us venus titan (the moon of saturn where it rains methan gass )or on venus where it rains and it exists lakes and lakes of sulphuric acid or uranus where its atmosfear is loaded of mercury a toxic metal liquid , anyway off topic here what i meant is if they would check the planet first with some robots yeah they would have beatan us but go blind in the dark and be cannon meat yeah that preaty idiotic to a superadvanced race of aliens to me anyway
DOOKOH!!!
lol The aliens trying to break in is still one of the best scenes in any review.
The real twist was that this movie took place in the Battlefield Earth Universe.
"By the way, your puny planet has alreary been invaded before us. Some idiots from a nearby system tried to do it naked and unarmed."
Seriously?
Lol
That would explain how the phsyclos took over, these were the morons that doomed us all
Well England's safe it's 70% trees and it's always raining
agreed
A cricket bat would count too for defeat aliens? Because here we got thousands :v
So is Florida.
English master race scrubs!
Texas is safe too, but then again seeing as how the aliens don't seem to use any weapons we'd probably just use them for target practice before we decided to rely on wood and water.
"The most advanced of civilizations have the most amount of trouble with the simplest of tasks"
Yeah but at this point it's ridiculous. At no point will there be a race so advanced that it won't know how to open a fucking wooden door, everything about the mere existence of a door explains what it is and how to solve it's ludicrously simple puzzle.
They are advanced sure but that doesnt mean they are body builders. brain develops so other features fade. Put a 100 lb man in a locked pantry and see if they break down the door.
@@ryanr4361 well he could bust open the door pretty quickly if he could just shoot it with some kind of crazy advanced space age weapon which is absolutely what should of happened, or hell why send infantry at all just nuke em from orbit. (That was just an expression by the way "blow em up with an artillery strike," just isn't as catchy)
Which is a retarded sentence.
"To-ka!"
Just realized something, the plot makes even less sense, if what the creepy military dude said was true. I mean what kind of recon operation lands on a planet filled with water and wood and then gives the waiting invading army the all clear?
Vikram Krishnan
“No one ever came back to give their reports, we figured we should invade anyway.”
-Hydrophobic Aliens, probably.
My theory is that this planet figured out a way to get rid of their criminals and other undesirables.
"So, what's Earth like?"
"Its covered in... candy. Yeah, candy."
"Sounds nice."
Aliens: yes the planets surface is covered in a strange liquid that burns our skin and this mysterious wooden stuff that we can't seem to get past... Perfect planet to invade
Even when it's never said that ALL water in general hurts the aliens? If so, they would've been fucking dead at this point, especially out in the open and holding a fucking kid.
Monster Hanna is there a comment you haven’t replied to with this exact same response? How about this: They never state that all water DOESN’T hurt them. Why do you keep hammering in the point that nobody stares all water hurts them? If the film doesn’t tell you otherwise, & it shows water harming the aliens, the logical conclusion is that it’s their weakness. To try & explain away that silly twist by saying “Well, who’s to say that every type of water harms them?” is seriously, seriously silly...just think about it for a second. That’s the way you think such a goofy twist can be explained away? How about this: Water hurting them being a plot point at ALL is stupid to begin with. Maybe write a better twist, so people won’t have to jump through hoops & over hurdles to try & explain this stupid twist in a way that sounds any less silly?
23:47 hilarious when you made that reaction of “mostly covered in water” that makes me laugh so much
