I just got back from ze movie and it sucks donkey balls.
SPOILERSome of the main reasons why I thought it sucked:
- Amateur camera work, worst ever since the Blair Witch Project
- Random monster which made me laught rather than frighten me. Reminded me of Kermit the frog..
- Actors straight out of Laguna Beach
- The ending is cliché, but luckily after that they die.
I have completely different opinion. The first movie that was so untypical and had another view on this catastrophe/drama genre imo. Actors weren't known, but they acted good.
first of all the amature camera work is sort of the whole point. its supposed to bring a certain feeling with the film which to me it actually did..
also, at the end they arent rly dead .. if u keep on watching for the credits to end he says "im still alive" backwards lol :P which prolly suggests that there will be some kind of cloverfield pt2 or so =D
and also, a monster of this size will hardly ever 'scare' u which u aparently were expecting.. it wont because of the ridiculous size which ofc isnt realistic.. but still i thought the monster was pretty ace :P plus, these spider sort of things which were falling off of the monster were kind of scary imo :P
i must say though, that im pretty convinced that the movie will be crap to watch at home.. its a real cinema movie imo
I just personally hate that kind of camerawork, but that's just my taste. I didn't wait for the end of the credits (which I usually do) because I didn't like the movie anyway. Maybe if they change the camerawork in a speculated part 2 it would really help to make it more appealing to my taste.
It's not that I expected the monster to be scary, but atleast impress me. At the beginning when you see parts of it flashing by quickly I was looking forward to some more glimps, but the end result dissappointed me when Hud(cameradude) gets killed by the monster.
And yes the spider things were nice and scary, especially when one of them gets bitten by them^^
currently thinking about going to the sneak preview or cloverfield on monday :/

anyway i kind of agree about the monster at the end.. when it bends over Hud and looks him right in the face haha thats pretty ugly
and the whole movie gave me the feeling the director played hl2 (strider sounds anyone??)
xD
fucking 2rd that!
