Not bad!... just not a 'monster' of a movie.

Rating: 7/10 (10 April 2008)

I was really excited about seeing this movie. It appeared to have all my favourite things, horror, big monster, buildings being destroyed soldiers shooting big guns...
All in all sounds good... This however, in my opinion, is not really a monster movie, it feels more like a disaster movie. The focus is not on the creature. This is about the effect a monster attack on a big city has on a group of friends, don't watch this film with the illusion you are watching a modern version of Godzilla.
If you want a movie that combines 'Godzilla' and 'The Blair witch project' then this is the movie for you. I believe there is a sequel in production (?) and if there is, i would certainly watch it.
Overall this movie isn't bad, its just not great. Worth a watch though.
