Appalling.

Rating: 1/10 (22 February 2008)

I've clicked the spoiler button, but, to be honest, if you've even seen the trailer for this film then there's absolutely no need to put yourself through the absolute agony of watching the full feature. Of course, if you enjoy two hours motion sickness twinned with a headache then go for it, this if the film for you. I went out halfway through (seriously, I enjoy using the toilet more than I enjoyed watching this film) to use the bathroom and returned to find out that "they've just been doing some more running around".
I was impressed at how long the battery lasted on that camera. And how that dreadfully uncharismatic man managed to charge his phone. Whoever wrote this did a poor job of trying to weave in a storyline and trying to invent characters for us to care about. I can't remember even the names of any of those people, all I know is that all of them bar the two who fell out of a helicopter died. Or perhaps they died, too. Probably. Who cares? That's another thing I was impressed about. These characters were pretty invincible. After being impaled on some random metal post for approximately.. what was it, 4 hours?.. the woman concerned got up and ran across New York. Incredible. I loved the way the film makers tried to induce shock by killing off the guy holding the camera. Shocking! Fantastic job there, you made a whole underage child at the front gasp! And half the cinema laugh at how absolutely ridiculous the 'plot line' was becoming. Basically, most of the people at my viewing were either laughing at what was happening or looking away due to motion sickness.
Having said all that, I did rather enjoy the trailer.
