Should have waited - not worth the $9

Rating: 2/10 (20 January 2008)

This was not worth seeing on opening weekend- thus not being able to use our movie passes. Also not worth getting a babysitter for. Should have just waited and rented the DVD...This was the first movie I've seen with the whole "handheld jerky movement camera" thing going on and that alone contributed to the suckiness a LOT. It was hard to keep track of things and it gave me a headache.
The main character- Robert Hawkins just seemed like a whiny ass. I don't know why they did the big slusho propaganda onslaught before the opening because I don't honestly recall it being mentioned anywhere in the movie. The monster looked ridiculous and those giant bug things that constantly fell off of it just looked like giant mutant things from the Alien movies.
There was no background info. provided during any part of the movie, if I hadn't read any of the hype leading up to it, I'd be completely clueless on most of the movie.
Crap like this is why we have bundles of movie passes just sitting in our cupboard waiting for something worth watching to come out...
