third worst movie

Rating: 2/10 (19 January 2008)

okay, i just saw this movie, as panavision and color by DeLux rolled by i was very, very disappointed. the cg in the movie was Xbox quality, not 360 but the original Xbox, which made it feel completely unrealistic. to tack on that the "original monster" was just a cheap rip-off of "widowmakers" from PS3's Resistance, also the smaller critters look like resistance's leaper's and crawlers. let me add that the exploding girl was just ridiculous and nonsensical. moving on and away from the unoriginality, the production values are clearly no higher that the blair witch project (and quality, with no good promotions to boot), which brings me to my major irritation... i don't mind some shameless advertising, but this movie flaunted it, in it's dragged out unnecessary love drama scenes, the nokia and aquafina in huge letters behind the characters with the camera going as far as to "auto-focus" right on the ad. i felt that with cheesy production quality, no famous actors and bad cg, where did the value go? the beginning of the film basically ruined it, clearly the filmmakers (in the movie) were dead, so as they died i was not surprised. I felt constantly bored, i normally don't talk during movies, but the whole theatre was laughing through-out the entire movie. i actually talked during this movie, it was dreadfully droll, and had nothing of interest, let me explain it more, and tons of spoilers. first off, i felt no sympathy for any of the characters, only the redeemable character was "hud" which he wasn't that funny. the soldiers in the movie were poorly portrayed, next time something big happens try to go filming in any military site, it's not gonna happen. also they would have been zip-tied and searched, and no soldier would let you pass through, and tell you about the EVAC, in that situation, you are expendable. if you notice during the movie in the bottom right there is a clock, during parts it disappears, and then reappears, we all made fun of it. "oh look the clock is gone again! no it just turned back on ha ha!" i also love that the huge monster can rumble manhattan, but then suddenly it disappears and re-appears next to the "main characters" and the rumbling ensues. also the same godzilla roar that's in every giant-city-destroying monster movie, the littler ones stopping to roar before attacking and somehow aren't afraid of guns, but they desperately ducking away from a fire axe (another superman stand in front of the bullets, but dodges the gun). let me end this because i could rant about this for hours. this was a dreadful movie, if you worked in the making of this movie please email me, so you can fix all of the major reasons why this movie is a flop. also the monster is from space, you see it crash down into the water in the last coney island scene, it was a cool idea for a hidden thing, even though coney island is gone now. all-in-all this movie is a plain, cheap cop-out, that is boring and unoriginal, not worth paying for, in fact this movie is barely a step better than "dragon wars" and a few steps below "godzilla" not the original, but the matthew broderick American version.
