Disappointed

Rating: 2/10 (7 September 2008)

Premise: A marginally big nerd guides the watcher through Lower and Middle Manhatton without the use of a steady cam while "something" (a computer generated monster and its spawns) attacks the city. The narrator (previously mentioned nerd) provides awkward, inarticulate commentary on what is going on while the watcher sees the entire cast, one by one, being killed by either the "somethings" or a result of the "somethings".
Negatives include: The movie in general lacking any substance, No suspense, Inability to attach to any of the characters, I was never convinced of the reality of the situation as the psychology of the characters (reactions, motivations, behavior) wasn't believable, The previously mentioned big nerd.
Highlights include: Watching one of the female characters miraculously walk around the city in high heels the entire time, Seeing the head of the statue of liberty (as the "somethings" had broken it off), Seeing another female character live even though she has been impaled, The two characters in the underlying love-story profess love for each other before being blown up by the US military, And my favorite, the death of previously mentioned nerd.
2/10 stars because I finished the movie. Otherwise would have gotten 1/10.
