Don't waste your time

Rating: 2/10 (17 January 2008)

First off, if you can't take watching things in a shaky first-person view, I strongly advise that you do not watch the movie. Half-way through, my friend could not take it anymore and went to the lobby.
Sad to say, he didn't miss much. The movie does one thing very well- leave the audience in the dark, completely. You do get to see what all the fuss is about, but nothing more. No details. Nothing. Then the movie just ends all of a sudden. The ending was abrupt and most dissatisfying.
Nothing was gained. I could have watched the trailers over and over again, and the take away would have been exactly the same. I walked into the theater and walked out with the same information I had about the movie.
Bottomline: When I learned the movie was only an hour and twenty-four minutes long, this was a clear indication that the movie would be horrible. Anything that a movie like this would try to achieve would require at least another hour and a half of plot. The only upside was the 10 or 15 minutes of intense "panic" scenes. Besides that, there wasn't much not seen in the trailers.
