Great Movie - Spoiler Alert

Rating: 9/10 (24 September 2008)

Having been in the crown of the Statue of Liberty, and lived in NYC, the entire head being in the street seemed smaller than it actually would be if it were placed in the street. I have read reports that this was made 50% larger then it is in reality because of similar complaints, but since this happens in the beginning of the movie, it totally took me out of the movie and I just kept thinking, "That was such a cool effect, why did they make it so small?" Was it really 50% bigger? I was in it and from the angle; it looked like the people would barely fit in the crown if they were turned sideways. In the end, I guess it was just the angle, but I am still unsure and would need to do research. Anyway the effects were awesome and it was really a great idea and movie. The reason I did not give it a 10 was because they beginning of the movie almost made me walk out with the party scene just dragging on and all of the people gossiping and just being snobby. It seemed more like an LA party then one in NYC (except the music). I would have left that party. SNORE. It just went on too long and the Statue of Liberty head still has me questioning. The fact that it happened early on took me out of the movie.
The special effects, it was great, a great thriller. Definitely a buy as opposed to rent or pass.
