Elegant

Rating: 9/10 (28 December 2011)

I thought it was fantastic. Very entertaining, and even works on the small screen. I thought the beginning of the attack was well done and the panic was very believable. Had a bit of a trawl through the thread and yes, a person picking up a camera time after time is weird, but as argued, there would be no movie if they didn't. If you didn't like it, the alternative would be watching 5 minutes of people's feet before the camera was smashed.I actually enjoyed the start, thought it did a good job of identifying the characters and also delaying the attack. It wouldn't have been half as effective if you didn't have some semblance of reality to relate to, some idea of how people were affected, when the mashing monster took over. Lizzi Caplan was probably the best in this, and her injuries and death were very unnerving, as was the whole tunnel scene.Some faults but not overly significant - the actors were quite good but I get the feeling Yustman was there for her looks, as frankly her waking up from unconsciousness after a horrific injury was quite bad. More like she had just woken up from a light sleep. 10 minutes after her metal-rod-through-the-shoulder accident, she was bombing it down the street. I suppose that was necessary though.
