Opening Up New Doors

Rating: 8/10 (11 July 2008)

This was definitely an experience to say the least. The premise was in the beginning overdone. Large monster wrecks city lots of screaming lots of military firepower. But there was a twist that changed the whole thing keep the story on one person or group let the story be told in First person something rarely done without narrative. In this case it was done expertly. That twist led into a deeper story one of romance. I have to say when this movie came together with all its elements i was reborn. I never once saw myself as movie savvy or even a movie goer but the impact this movie had on me and my friends was like wow movies are more than a time burner. I am sure it will hit most viewers the same way. For the first time in 17+ years I was on the edge of my seat inhaling when the windows blew in holding my breath as the dust settled twitching my leg as the distance between point A and B was being covered. Me and friends still talk about if it was us in the sub tunnel running for our lives how we would not hesitate to turn back for the others. This may be me romanticizing the movie but it hit a note in the heart of 3 boys and 4 girls that night. "Anything for love" has never been such a real statement till then. A life lesson learned from what was expected to be a cheap popcorn spiller. This movie is a must see for anyone. Only problem is it was short and left a lot of lose ends there was no closure at all.
