Terrible and makes you sick

Rating: 2/10 (21 January 2008)

My wife and I wanted to see this movie, especially because of all the hype. But I found the movie to be bad. It was very bad. So bad that I wanted to leave 3o minutes into it, but stuck with it in hopes that something would eventually get better. It didn't. I found myself not caring for any of the characters. They were superficial and did not have any character development to them. So much so that when one of them died I felt like saying "so what." The plot was not original either. It has been done, a lot, and by better directors also. I also found myself hating the way that "Hud" filmed the events. Especially with all the shaking of the camera. They wanted to be more realistic in how this movie was made but how realistic is this movie really. Truthfully if a giant monster was attacking you and its minions were going to bite you forget the camera and run.... What about the battery life of the camera. If the main character's cell phone batter died how come the video camera didn't? And if you were in your apartment with a bar sticking out of your shoulder wouldn't you die from bleeding out? The only thing that interests me was to find out what kind of creature could bite you to make you explode, and where the giant monster came from. That was all. I also was very upset that this movie made my wife sick. With the constant moving of the hand-held camera it made her motion sick.
So sick that she lost all of her dinner later when we got home, and we live not even five minutes from the theater. Thank goodness we didn't stay for the credits any longer
I should have asked for two refunds. One for our tickets and one for the dinner I paid for before the movie. We were not the only ones though. I was in the isle seat and saw many people get up and leave the theater and never come back. Two patrons if fact were seating on the floor as we walked out trying to recover from their experience. That was sad also.
Don't waste your money or time.
