A Very Bumpy Ride

Rating: 8/10 (21 January 2008)

I would have given this movie an eight if I hadn't felt a little motion sickness about half way through my popcorn. There was a warning concerning this posted outside the door, but I didn't see it until afterward. To be fair, I knew it had the Blair Witch jerky camera effect but was too curious to pass on it. It was a very original approach to an old sci-fi theme and for that alone, it deserves an 8 or possibly 9. My wife and I agreed that our daughter's age group (twenty something) would have identified more with the characters. The special effects were very good and the overall mood of the movie was sustained by the latter. If you aren't bothered by jerky camera movements you will enjoy this thriller. It keeps you on edge right to the last second. I see a sequel coming soon to a theater near you.
