First high quality found footage movie I saw when it came out

Rating: 7/10 (16 June 2016)

This is probably the first high budget found footage movie I have seen. it's a giant monster movie that shows it from the normal civilians point of view with a simple story. The simplistic direction for the most part works for a movie such as this as a whole. Cause I don't see how making the whole thing more complex would make this film any better. It's sort of outdated when it comes to today's standards when it comes to movies. But then again there is multiple "Paranormal Activity" movies that is just there to rake in the cash. Without giving much away, just think of a Godzilla movie except it goes in a found footage direction where just about everything is in first person view mode. And at it's core, it's a love story about a guy and his friends going the distance. I think this is the movie that started the high quality found footage movie trend. Overall, it was actually something new when I saw it in theaters in 2008. And it's still a watchable movie today.
7.4/10
