I saw it. I's alive. It's huge.

Rating: 8/10 (16 January 2008)

i absolutely loved this movie. i thought the monster was awesome, i liked the story, i ended up loving the way in which it was filmed (which i was skeptical about at first), and was overall very satisfied.
however, here's what i've learned from the people around me that i will warn you about: 1. don't go into this movie expecting to see a film all about the monster. there's a good amount of the monster in it, but this isn't Godzilla.
2. realize that this movie is told through the eyes of the people living through it. it's a documentary. i heard complaints about the ending, lack of explanation, etc. to which i reply, "get over it." those were two of the things i liked BEST about the movie.
3. know what you're going to see. i overheard plenty in the audience before the movie started saying they had no idea what it was about. way to go, jackasses. maybe you shouldn't be seeing it then, 'ey?
