So it's essentially the 1997 Godzilla movie?

It's basically Blair Witch + destroy-the-city monster movies.  Instead of focusing on a badass crack team of unrealistic mercenaries tasked with killing the monster, it focuses on a group of friends who are trying to survive in the chaos.  It's a nice twist on an otherwise generic genre.

Well I was reminded a lot of the Tom Cruise War of the Worlds with blair witch. Yea the visuals were great the audio I suppose too (I was pretty engrossed in it) and the acting and dialogue were very good I thought. But I can't help thinking so what afterwards. It's just like War of the Worlds where you follow just a few people and their tiny unimportant adventure. And I mean I didn't want a scientist to come out and say "Oh hey this is what it is" or whatever, but at the same time I was hoping for more clues than what was given. I mean there a ARG to go with this right? But all the mystery and all the anticipation for this was pointless as it was exactly what you gathered from the trailer, nothing more or less.

I still thought it was fun to watch and I'd rate it high or whatever and recommend it.

What I wonder about is, do you actually get to see the monster?
Because as far as I read, it doesn't actually show well in the movie. If that's
actually true, I'd be a real let-down for me.
The only thing dumber than an argument on the Internet is the same argument in real life.

no you get to see it a few times throughout the movie, a lot of shaky glimpses and quick pan throughs.

then at the end you get to see it up close for a good 10 seconds as it's looking at hud the camera man .

Really, Cheesy? All I saw was a logo flash up for like .5 seconds after the credits finished. What gave you that indication? :O (not trying to pick at you, just curious)

Yeah, basically what Steel said.

I never saw that movie someone give me it.

also I guess my real problem with the movie was how it had no point other than being 9/11 porn! I can elaborate but I think no one wants that.

also also I'm not sure yet because it was good at parts and bad mostly.

I think one of the characters had on a slusho t-shirt, but like steel said they didn't have a thing to do with it. So pretty much all that viral marketing and clues people spent so much time on trying to decode and figure out was all a waste of time or just a back story . Kind of a slap in the face to all the fans who spent all that time on it but whatever it didn't really bother me much.

Overall I was pretty disappointed with the movie as a whole and wouldn't really recommend it to anyone, but that's just my opinion.  The shaky camera kind of gave me a head ache after about 20 minutes, so that didn't help much at all.

1. Made me fucking nauseous.  The constant running scenes became extremely annoying.

2. What the hell was with that ending? The least they could do is at least have someone pick up the tape recorder a year later or SOMETHING, it was way too abrupt. The very last black screen remained for 10 seconds and when the credits rolled the audience simultaneously all yelled "what the? that's it?"

3. Pretty much just simulates 9/11 and the Iraq war.

4. What the fuck just happened?


Not that bad of a movie otherwise, though -- it's basically Godzilla meets Blair With Project.  Also, Nokia product placement was far too obvious.

Yeah, FP, I was going to mention that. My brother and I spotted like 60000 Nokia phones, then just as many Nokia ads.

Honestly the camera didn't bother me. I got used to it after 10 minutes and then I was fine.

Cool story my brother threw up but it was really was a combination of the guy next to him was pretty smelly and the motion sickness. But Trystero was saying he heard a lot of people threw up so that's really funny.
