Not that intelligent a film

Rating: 4/10 (8 September 2008)

Well for those who loved this film well, sorry you didn't see the same film we did. For those who hated this film well, your not that far off from true enlightenment. For those who thought it was OK we have given this film a better review than it probably deserved.
It was just OK for me. I just seen it and didn't know anything of the film before hand.
I enjoy intelligent film making where the technical details and realism is somewhat in check. This movie was not in any way remotely kept in check.
Didn't mind the first person filming (that much) but would have been nice to see other shots to add to the realism and emotions of the characters. First person filming in this way creates confusion and disorientation as to were you are like, "is the camera on the ground" or "against a wall" very disorienting. Cannot place this with Blair Witch as that film was total crap this film did have some redeeming factors that Blair Witch did not have. (Like a budget)
Problems I have with this film. -spoilers-
IMO Both characters at the end were dead long before they made it to hide under the bridge. The girl with the re-bar threw the (left) shoulder and near her heart and they lift her body and slide the re-bar threw her ... yea, she would have bled out in no time and passed out from the pain yet she is very mobile and the use of her left arm was amazing after suffering that type of injury.
The guy after the heli crash (her pseudo boyfriend) suffers a leg injury that requires a belt to be used as a tourniquet yet he remains extremely mobile and doesn't bleed out before they reach the bridge at the end no way in hell is that possible.
The massive injury suffered by the quiet girl in the subway tunnel wasn't even bleeding when we see her back and she really doesn't seem to be in any real pain or seems to have a life threatening injury by the way the other characters react to it. she says "how does it look" , reply "it looks like it hurts" but she isn't crying, wheezing, moaning heck she is fine.
There are way to many non-intelligent items in this film to list here and agree with other comments here about how ...
You don't care about the characters they are stupid and not believable. I cared more for the monster I really did. After they bombed it and the guy is recording it from the chopper I was worried until I seen the monster preform that amazing jump up to the chopper and caused it to crash was the first time I was excited in the film "He's OK!" wow that was an amazing jump. I thought the chopper was higher but I guess somehow it dropped altitude and the monster got it.
Yea, thank god it was a rental for me. This is the reason why I attend very few movies at the theater each year.
