The actors were not that great and I'm sorry that this couldn't get executed to become the amazing concept that Shyamalan imagined it.
The reason I'm giving it 6 stars is because I appreciate M. Night showing us once more what humans would be capable of in the so called name of 'saving others' when in fact it's really elevating ourselves. The scientists in the movie went to extreme lengths to 'save people', at the cost of others lives. Who are we to decide who lives and who dies? Can we breathe life back into someone? No. Then why do we think it's ok to lie and fool people into doing things which only further our agenda? I really think he is asking some heavy questions with this film, and even if the end product isn't a rewatchable masterpiece, a one-time viewing should suffice if it raises these thoughts.
