Not worth the hype, rent it on DVD instead

Rating: 5/10 (16 January 2008)

All the hype for this film online as well as being a fan of JJ Abram's previous work made me decide to go to the premier last night. The hype is over the top and undeserving. While the movie is reasonable, there is hardly any plot and the camera work (all being done handy-cam style, like blair witch) made me feel nauseous. I wasn't the only one. While it was rather nauseating, I will admit the camera work does seem fairly realistic, though, somewhat unnecessary. The special effects are really good, but the acting from a few characters is dismal.
All around, I would recommend this movie only for die hard Godzilla fans whilst it's still in the cinemas. Once it gets on DVD, it's probably worth the money. If you never watch it, well, that's no big loss.
