Amazing Experience

Rating: 10/10 (20 February 2008)

I recently went to the movies to see this film before it hit shelfs. I went with the impression that I would be minutely disappointed with the movie because of the style of film, but soon found the first movie that amazed me. Truly.
The movie started abruptly with no credits, which I prefer cause I want to get strait to the movie. Then it set up the characters in a romantic real life comedy sort of way, that in a way made me feel like one of their friends and this was just a memory I was reliving.
Because the movie was written and filmed in such a way that it made these people real and not fictional characters, it became an amazing watch. Everything I or another person would want to witness, feel, do, encounter during an horrific ordeal was show and done. I felt as if I was living this experience with them.
Also, they style of film added to the dramatic suspense and horror of it all. I was immersed into this event and scream out loud every time something happened. I felt as if I was in a virtual 3D movie and when I walked out of the theater I expected to see people running and screaming and some creature tearing up the mall.
So really my first thought and impressions were wrong. The movie would not have been the same without the shaky camera. All around great experience, couldn't ask for a better way to spend my night.
