The best part about it was the marketing strategy. Just because the guy shakes the camera like crazy doesn’t make it realistic. 90% of all the cool stuff is out of the frame, or out of focus. Scary ? About as scary as Saw IV i’d say. Every part that’s supposed to be scary is so hollywood predictable that you can count down to it. “Hmm, i’m gonna put the camera on infra-red, wonder if we’ll see something scary as soon as i do it.” The actors aren’t horrible, but still very generic, and very boring. Hud is probably the most annoying character in the history of cinema. Not to mention that they’ve managed to put either something ridiculous, or highly unbeliveable, or plain stupid in every scene. And the youtube cinematography of this flick had little in common with beautifully shot Children of Men.

Really 4 stars? Well when I saw it there were a lot of things that made it bad for me so I don’t know if it was because where I was sitting, where I saw it( NOT at the Alamo so that just takes off like a thousand points), and who was in the theater when I saw it(once again I was not at the alamo), or if it was the movie itself.

We werent even expecting to watch this movie but we were driving to see my brother who was at the theater and said,”hey you should watch this movie” so we were maybe 10-15 mins late into the movie like after the trailers.So we only saw brief moments of the party but did not miss any action. We were in a regular theater, in Del Rio(need I say more?), so there were kids, teens and crying babies. Who the hell would bring a baby to this I do not know. Bad parents Bad!!
I yelled at the teens to shut up twice they finally did. But that itself made me lose focus on the movie. I also got sprite spilled on me so that made me lose focus as well. LOL
But once we were settled and watching the movie, I got scared. I thought they weren’t going to show the monster and I would have been okay with that. But they did, and I had to take some of my anti-anxiety meds and thought I was going to have to walk out of the theater. But I made it through!! *Yay Me*
I think it was an alien and you know how I feel about aliens. So yeah I cried, and squeaked throughout the movie. I think Lane got nail marks on his arm from where I dug my nails in. Did she blow up? I closed my eyes but I think I opened them enough to see that I think she blew up.
I don’t know, I thought it was a great action sci-fi movie, and it was a good idea, the whole lets get it through the eyes of a camera from a random person. But I felt disappointed because I didn’t get answers that I NEED, where did it come from ,why did it come, what did it want, where was it from, what happened?
and if we were watching the video from a camera that a person had on them after they nuked the entire city wouldn’t the video have been destroyed as well? Hrmmm? I dunno I have mixed feelings about this one. I really do. Best movie of ’08? I don’t know about that one, well I think this is the only movie I have seen so far in ’08. It was great action and it got me scared. if that was the point of the movie then okay YAY. but ehh I left with the feeling of ,”Thats it really?” we waited and waited to see if there was something after the credits but my parents wanted to leave and we weren’t able to see. Also my dad said that at the end of the movie when they were on the Ferris wheel he saw something drop from the sky. But I didn’t see it so I don’t know. Plus that’s on the opposite side if they were on Coney Island. Well I am rambling now. But I did like the Blaire Witch reference if anyone caught that. I have mixed feelings on this movie just because it didn’t give me answers, but it did scare me.*shrugs*
