Shooting a film with your mobile phone while in the middle of a tornado it will end up better for sure then this piece of junk

Rating: 2/10 (27 January 2008)

They (the makers) lure you to the cinema with a great looking trailer. And thus you arrive at your local cinema with a sense of excitement. You buy your popcorn, a coke and you take a seat, blissfully unaware of what the evening has in store for you. The crowd is excited to because they to noticed a great looking movie trailer. And then, after a #$#$load commercials the movie begins.... "At least you think". Because from the moment the "movie" starts your brain keeps wondering when is it really going to start. And then half an hour later the pure (visual) horror takes hold of you .. My GOD ... does the camera guy have some tremor disease ?! If something exciting happens I want to get a sharp view so I can start making up thoughts in my head. Thanks to the screwed up capturing I couldn't help but get very very upset ! The Blair Witch project didn't demand that much visual observation as it mainly took place in a forest at night and night vision helped out much of the time and thus didn't demand much sharp observing from the audience. And some folks (dare) talk about motion sickness being a shameful thing when watching this movie.. Well watching this movie is ( I think) even worse when compared with getting aboard a chopper and receiving the Rookie treatment which ends up with you throwing up your breakfast, thanks to the unexpected tricks the seasoned pilot plays on you, with the help of his controls. I just cannot believe people dare say things as "fantastic", "super original", "haven't seen such a creative movie in a while" .. It really makes me wonder did these same people that say such things, live In Afghanistan during the(movies not allowed)Taliban regime ?! 1:13 minutes I tried to get a sharp view of what was going on. Not a moment did I think wow what a "creativity" at work here.. So no Mr director you did not succeed in creating a 9/11 drama-like emotional, many different camera footage shots, roller coaster ride that was served that specific day in 2001. (Remember those camera close-ups of people running and crying while the camera men kept walking away as the dust clouds came closer and closer. So If someone in the future asks me: come up with one original movie you watched the past couple of years I won't even think about Cloverfield. To be honest I found Godzilla trashing New York a breeze of fresh air compared to this totally screwed up attempt at being "original". Last but not least: One thing that really irritated me was the guy behind the camera. Damn your screaming made me want to ask for a refund cause it hurt my eardrums big time !!
Nuff said !
