There's a scene where Phoenix and Gibson are just quietly talking about fate for like 10 minutes in that dark while the kids sleep, and it's captivating.

The acting, dialog, and theme are all incredible.

Also: I'm a big believer that it's al not about aliens, but about demons that are manifestations of people's fear. And they're defeated by acts of faith and hope.

Everyone in town talking about their fears of what the aliens will be is correct, and on the radio, they never actually explain what killed them worldwide.

And you never actually see a spaceship or any kind of technology for that matter.
