Lord fuck I hated this movie, when I wasn't falling asleep with how boring it was, I was pissed at how stupid it was, even the monster was pretty disappointing, or maybe it was the lack of clear shots of it.

I would rather see The Village again then this worthwhile pile of monster crap.

I felt like I paid $10 just to see what the monster looked like.

To each his own about the monster and the camera. But I don't get the no plot argument. It had a plot, a simple one. Monster attacks city, guy tries to save girl and escape. That's enough. People are complaining about how there was such a lack of explanation for the monster, but what are they supposed to do, have some scientist come out of nowhere and give a perfect explanation of what it is?

It's not even a 90 minute movie. If it got bogged down in plot, it would kill the pacing. I like that there was no explanation for the monster. All the more interesting. All you have to know is it's big, it's mean, it's a force of destruction. This is a popcorn flick, not Atonement or something. Who needs that much plot in a movie like this?

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 havenot 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.

Well, since the movie is supposed to be the video as is, the battery only had to have been good about a little less than an hour and a half, which I'm sure most cameras can do. So while the movie covers from about 9 PM to 6 AM, I'm guessing there's pretty much a lot of shit that doesn't get recorded

Also pretty tired of people complaining about the camera being "invincible" and "pretty strong" and shit. Because if we went the whole movie without Hud going through any problems people would complain about that, yet if at some random point the camera broke, THERE'D BE NO FUCKING MOVIE. And if people were pissy about the ending as it was, imagine how pissed they'd be if the movie ended with the camera just fucking breaking.

Retarded.
