Don't Waste Your Money

Rating: 4/10 (29 January 2008)

So, it was a Friday night after my band practice and all of the parties hadn't begun yet, what a better time killer than going to a movie? That's what I thought, but I was expecting to be entertained. I had heard some great and awful reviews, but was expecting this movie to be great....boy was I wrong.
At the very first scene, I was ready to leave. THE SHOT WAS SO HORRIFICALL Shaky THAT I ALMOST THREW UP!!! I have a SLIGHT motion sickness problem, but that was over the top. There was no steady camera work except when they set the camera down, and even when they did that, it was tilted!! I was so irritated at the poor job done on this film. Imagine your hatred for Epic and Date Movie, yeah, those were horrible, that's how I felt about this movie.
In my opinion, it was way to hyped up because of how original it was set to be. Every movie now a days, has that stupid shaky camera work and they just can't keep it steady, if there had been some steady camera work, I would have enjoyed it so much more than I did. I got the fact that the producers wanted you to feel as confused as the characters, but dear god, they did a horrible job at it. If they would have shown the monster a little bit more, or even AT ALL, and cleaned up the dumb dialog, then I would have responded a lot better than this.
The only reason that I am giving this a 4 is because I really like the idea that they wanted to film this in a different perspective but they just didn't do a good job or succeed at doing it. Bad job producers, the camera work totally ruined the awesome potential that this movie could have had if you guys would have used multiple cameras and given us the multiple perspectives that we NEED to enjoy a film and not had the camera mainly focused on the ground when running, moving in a thousand different directions, zooming in and out and focusing unnecessarily, then I would have really liked this movie. TO THE FANS: PLEASE Don't WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS MOVIE!!! Save your $8 or whatever you pay and go buy something nice for yourself or go see Rambo.
