what a disappointment

Rating: 5/10 (18 January 2008)

i had high expectations by the trailers and all the hypes in the internet, so when i saw the screen the movie here in in SF at 12:01 on thursday night, i couldn't resist. part of my disappointment is maybe because i had so high expectations.
to tell much about the movie would destroy it completely for the rest that actually want to see it, but in the end it was "blair witch" meets "godzilla". with no surprises at all.
the story was rather poorly written with the main actors stumbling from one random encounter to the next and somehow i couldn't feel with the actors at all. while in blair witch it seemed kinda logical, or at least reasonable that the kids actually filmed the whole thing, it seems just silly in this movie.
i also didn't like the beginning where all the actors got introduced by showing them on a good bye party for one of their friends. it was just boring. then the movie unfolds and while i give it some credits for the start of the action, after a while i just looked forward to the (very unsatisfying) ending.
not what i hoped for.
