One of the best movies I've seen

Rating: 8/10 (18 January 2008)

Filmed on a hand-held camera by a 'drunk Joe Cocker having a seizure' who runs a LOT, this movie is not for those who get motion sickness.
Just as I suspected, this movie is rated by most people as > 7 or < 4. It is definitely a movie you will either love or hate. The shaky cam is over-used, but when you think about it, they ARE being chased by a big *something*.
As for the commenters talking about everyone in the movie being "self-absorbed"....uh, hello? What do you expect? They are a bunch of yuppies in NY running for their lives...I might be a little self-absorbed, too.
Excellent action. Excellent effects. I happen to appreciate the open-endedness of the movie; I think it adds to the realism. And anyone who goes to see a movie you can't tell much about from the trailers and doesn't check out the directing/producing style of the creators is asking to be disappointed anyway. This movie has J. J. Abrams written all over it.
I would love to see this in the theater again...and hopefully sitting back further than the 3rd row next time to ease the motion sickness effect. (Our theater was sold out for the 7:20 and 9 PM showings and our 9:40 showing was packed.)
