Hype Without Hope

Rating: 1/10 (22 January 2008)

An utterly awful film that suffered from poor casting and a less than heart-racing plot.
Honestly, it made War of the Worlds look realistic.
I wanted to like this movie but it was stiff, unrealistic and just awful, sorry to say.
I liked the documentary style of the movie but at the end of the day, the substance was lacking. The creatures would have done a lot more, if they were that powerful, than they did in the film.
It was just unrealistic.
Where were the fire engines, ambulances, and cop cars?
Where were the hordes of US Army Chinooks, Blackhawks and other helicopters, the sky should have been full of USAF jets bombing the monster minute after minute.
Where were the Warthogs and Apaches blowing the daylights out of the monster? Even Godzilla had that.
For some reason, I found that this film did nothing that other films had done better before. Actually, for about 100 reasons.
