Much better than anticipated

Rating: 8/10 (8 June 2009)

I didn't have high hopes for this one, having read the reviews. Monster movie meets Blair Witch. But it's absolutely an OK flick.
Great effects and an extremely cool apocalyptic atmosphere. Definitely worth a watch.
Hand-held camera can be tiring, yes - but in this case, and combined with the great effects, it works.
The plot itself isn't exactly news, but as it's all seen from the antagonists point of view and with no further explanation, you really get that "what would I have done"-feeling.
Yes, we need explanations, but I really like that Abrams hasn't tried to tag on an ending explaining what happened.
