Amazing special effects, but don't watch it if you are prone to motion sickness!

Rating: Null/10 (17 January 2008)

This is a video chronicle of a group of young people's escape from Manhattan, where a monster roams the streets, destroying everything in between.
The film is intense. The visual effects are stunning, and the realism of the attacks is phenomenal. Buildings collapse, cars get burnt and rocks fall from the sky. These scenes send chills down my spine, and will surely evoke traumatic memories in people who has been through disasters. Things happen quickly, and there is hardly the time to breathe. The plot is rather weak, posing a lot of unanswered questions, but it is made up for the pacing and the action. The only thing I have to complain is that the constant motion from the hand-held camera made me sick. If you are prone to motion sickness like I am, make sure you don't watch this film. Otherwise, you are in for an adventure!
