i rate this craptacular movie a -100 out +100 story has no beginning and no end. yes it may be a personal video but for someone to play the video they should be able to at least show or tell what happened after the fact. and that stupid blair witch style videography is such a way of telling a story. only good if u like getting people sick. and as for the fact that this type of recording, is to make it realistic. it sure didn't look realistic at all with everything that happened.
We were excited...the movie started out like no other before. Test pattern, interesting text... This was followed by 10 - 15 minutes of build up and then 70 minutes of some people running around the city with a camcorder in tow. Good acting...I think. No plot. So this movie was about what? Too bad they didn't use less crazy shaky camcorder, added more explanation ie. charter development, then added an ending. DO NOT PAY TO SEE IN THE THEATER. Wait to rent it. I don't write many reviews but this was important I warn you, it's too short and my wife almost had motion sickness from all of the running around. Too bad, it really could have been much more.
I can't understand some people. You guys say why did they show this scene if they didn't expand on it? Why was the first twenty minutes so boring? Why were there so many un-answered questions? HELLO?? IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THAT WAY! It's supposed to have the realism feeling! The people in the film didn't know what was going on and it was supposed to be them filming! Therefore the person watching isn't supposed to know anymore than the people filming! This was intentional! This movie was VERY well done and I give it 5 stars. For those of you complaining about the camera movement; all those who have motion sickness, STOP YOUR WHINING AND COMPLAINING AND JUST DON'T SEE IT! Just because you can
For all the people who said this movie sucks...you are complete idiots. what dont you like about it... the amazing action,the visual effects, the great camera angles? this movie will go down as one of the best movies of 2008 and all the haters will feel like idiots, watch this movie i guarantee you will love it... if you have any taste.
Unfortunately it's just another monster attacks new york city movie. I'd say the monster could have been better.
I'm 37 and it was the worst movie i have ever seen. It must of cost about $10 to make it. If you dare to see it bring lots of ASPRIN......IT SUCKED...!
SO AWESOME!
Where was the plot? Where was the ending? The movie doesn't go anywhere at all, a waste of time and money
This movie sucks is like watching the Blair Witch project but with some Giant alien involved. DO NOT WATCH IT WASTE OF TIME
Great movie, as realistic of a alien coming to earth as can be expected (for those who have seen it and can't figure out where it came from, watch it again and in the last scene, looking at the water watch closely .....this dosn't ruin anything for those who haven't seen it yet.)
