Decent Idea for a movie, awfully filmed and written

Rating: 3/10 (26 January 2008)

The movie has the potential to be good, but it was just done horribly. The whole camera thing was awful and made the kid next to me throw up. You couldn't even see anything half the time because it was so shaky. I kept wishing the guy holding the camera would get killed and they would switch to regular filming so I could enjoy the movie -- but no such luck. Then the worst part of all was when the kids filming the movie all get killed and the movie just goes to a black screen and we see the credits. We don't know where the monsters came from, what happened to them, what happened to Manhattan, what happened to the rest of the world, what they wanted, why they came...etc. It's like they wrote half the movie and then stopped. After the movie ended you could hear people in the theater saying things to the effect of "wow, that was a bad movie" and "worst movie ever".
