re: "Old" | M. Night Shyamalan - Discussion Thread

I watched it over the weekend...well, I saw about 90 percent of the movie. Anyway, I was underwhelmed. As with a lot of Shamalamadingdong's movie, the script was bad. His characters talk...for the lack of a better word...weird. Sometimes they just don't say or sound like how someone in a particular situation would talk. The black psychologist lady was annoying as frick. People are dropping dead and she wants to form a group circle so everyone can express their feelings. I like Rufus Sewell so I thought he did his character well.

One question I don't recall being touched on in the movie. If their bodies are aging and changing at a rapid pace, how did they not starve to death, or die from dehydration? I remember when the baby died moments after being born, someone said something along the lines of it aged too fast for its needs to be met. Wouldn't that have happened to all of them?
