A sub-mediocre 4 for a sub-mediocre film.

Rating: 4/10 (12 April 2008)

Think Blair-Witch meets Godzilla, with a substantial amount of Manhattan sightseeing.
A thoroughly predictable rampaging monster sci-fi. It should have been good what with good character development, acceptable acting, and all the money so obviously spent on effects and extras. Unfortunately it was let down due to the appallingly formulaic, and apparently deliberate unoriginality of writing.
After about the first fifteen minutes I was beginning to wonder if they'd run the wrong film. Add that first fifteen minutes to the last ten minutes given over to the credits, then the majority of the film seemingly devoted to walking around Manhattan, and you have the idea.
Oh yes, and did I mention that in the opening credits they let us know everyone dies? Only watch this if you have absolutely no desire to think, or simply can't be bothered to take a nap.
