I tend to agree with this but not the extremes that you've gone into. I thought it was an average film, I enjoyed some parts but I really think they should have
not used the hand held camera angle throughout the whole of the film, instead they should have done half and half with some professional shooting and the rest in hand held mode. Some things really annoyed me though:
1)
The guy filming just annoyed me with his chitter chatter even when they were in the tunnel running away he was cracking stupid jokes. And walking around the room prior saying to everyone how Rob and the other bird had sex. Just the way he just wouldnt shut up in general. I realise this was in the movie to add to the 'realism' of the whole situation but it just really annoyed me. I was glad when he died at the end 
2)
How the guy kept filming absolutely EVERYTHING, when at times you just think "mate fuck filming this shit, just get the fuck out of there". which leads me to point 3...
3)
How long is the battery in the camera? They start filming around what, say 9pm on the night of the party and it manages to last til about 7am the next morning, being on almost constantly and having used night vision etc. Certainly can last a while lol
4)
Why did they fly OVER the city when they were in the helicopter instead of flying AWAY from it? Dunno about you guys but if I was trying to get the fuck away from something I would go the long way if I had to as long as I got the fuck AWAY from it, not hovering over it, lol
I did like parts of it though, I did enjoy the
realism of it with the hand held camera even though at times it got very annoying and was unnecessary (and my mate started feeling a bit of nausia [sp?]). I also liked how they've left it open to maybe a sequel, possibly using
the girlfriends story once she got in the helicopter, or the army guy's story from the ground.
