Man, this movie stinks!
Its contrite, self indulgent (a la Shamalan being the Director, and Deus Ex Machina protagonist character), and all around a waste of time.
It currently holds a 24% on rotten tomatoes, but I think it should be lower.

[Perhaps it's] improvised and protracted, nonsensically and unnecessarily, just for the sake of stringing us along. And, maybe, putting us to sleep.

- Roger Ebert, 2006

All of this being said, what if it was received differently, to point where its viewed as a masterpiece, sweeping all the major categories at the Academy Awards?
What effects would this have on M.Night's future projects and cinema in general?
