The 'real' elements suffered.

Rating: 3/10 (7 June 2010)

I'm just going to give a few negative and positive points to represent my opinion. I prefer not to give away to many specific moments of a film as I believe it can ruin a movie. This is why I always try to avoid trailers as I find myself waiting for moments I can remember whilst viewing a film. Not fun. All I'm gonna give away is that it's a giant monster movie shot through someones home camera (like you didn't know).
Starting with the positives.
The pacing of the film is good.
A few moments create a good sense of chaos and believability.......ummmmm.....and....ummmmm..... I TRIED OK?
I might have to hold back now because my minds filling with things to say! IT'S TIME FOR THE NEGATIVES!
None of the actors are good at natural acting which I believe is vital in such a movie. Very generic.
The camera is almost always tilted to the right. I noticed it early on so I found it hard to get past. I'm guessing the director suggested rough filming to make the film seem more believable. But I think the cameraman only had the imagination to tilt it one way, it's not even subtle. Now I've told you, you'll find it hard to ignore, so for this I am sorry.
The camera is a far too high quality for my liking which again takes away from the realism they are trying to create.
I also believe that a great opportunity was missed. A more realistic path could have been taken by the characters in the film. We could have seen them make decisions like you or I for a change. Instead they opted for the standard 'love connection, make unreasonable decisions to get into action based scenario' route.
This movie had potential but we ended up with another Hollywood blockbuster in disguise.
