Next thing we know, humans are following the bees' fate. Cut to a scene where a cop is shown passed out in the middle of the street. Mark's school dismisses the teachers for the day, even though they make them teach with a foot of snow on the ground (which, thanks, Mark for that bit of information; we might not have realized the state of emergency without your obvious exposition). Then we get the most profound sentence in the history of movie trailers, spoken by none other than Cameron from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, all grown up and respectable-looking: "There appears to be an event happening." Uh, yeah. I think that could accurately describe anything any time anywhere. An "event" is not really that specific. Even with the ominous music playing, that sentence reveals nothing and sounds ridiculous. I hope it's part of a longer speech that they just had a terrible time cutting down for the trailer. Otherwise, M. Night might want to take a few more writing classes before getting to work on his next script.

The music speeds up and John Leguizamo appears and we find out it's a chemical weapons event. Apparently Shyamalan borrowed straight from Jericho for this, because it appears that whatever town Mark is in was the only place immune to this terrorism. Luckily, he has pretty Zooey Deschanel there with him, and some terrible line reading to sustain him. I'm not kidding. I can't believe this is the same guy who was nominated for an Oscar for The Departed. He says every line in the movie -- even those things his character is supposed to actually be informed about -- with a sense of childlike astonishment that grates by the end of the trailer. I can't imagine how annoying a whole movie's worth will be. I'm thinking it's probably not a good thing that the only comparison I can think of while watching this trailer is Armageddon. Keep your fingers crossed there's no animal cracker scene between Wahlberg and Deschanel. The world cannot survive more than one of those.
