a first hand view of a monsters attack throughout new york city

Rating: 9/10 (18 January 2008)

I found the movie simply amazing and innovative. Okay, yes there is the basic notion and premise of a monster attacking new york. Been there done that. Now, take in the though process of someone who is there first hand. I think the major reason why i like this movie, is because i felt a part of it. Between the action scenes, the point of view, and most of all... being completely oblivious to why this is happening. I'll have to admit i didn't fancy the ending, but i enjoyed it. The downbeat ending reminds us that life isn't full of fairy tale endings, and average humans saving the day.
on a side note: in the last scene right before the credits, on the trip to Conney island, it shows something falling from the sky. This is probably meant to make the viewers believe this is an alien and NOT a government experiment.
Bottom line: an innovative movie and a definite must see.
