... yawn...

Rating: Null/10 (9 February 2008)

I won't give a vote to this movie, I don't know what would be the right one. I mean, I'm grown watching Jap Godzilla, alien, blair witch project and many others... But if I consider this one as a movie for youngsters, I mean teens that never seen tons of cartoons with the statue of Liberty beheaded, who know nothing of Snake Plissken or that never seen a movie shaken with a hand-held camera (boring..) etc. it can even be a little bit scary...
For me is a poor mix of some well known and trademarked iconic clichés...
Camera and atmosphere-> Blair Witch Project shaken with the last Bourne Monster -> a Godzilla huge thing that looks like the alien that came out of the dog in "The thing" Little monsters -> Alien's face huggers Exodus scenes and appearance of the monster -> War of the world
All dressed with a love story, so that you can go to the theater with your girlfriend and then be rewarded when back in the car...
Rofl, there is also the gold-hearted soldier that let them go for the the rescue of the poor girl... "I shouldn't do it...but..."
I don't know, maybe they are trying to squeeze the last drops of the post 9/11 mood, but obviously this is ALSO already seen...
And the helicopter scene (tm) ...
The movie begins like if the camera was found in "what was known" as central park -> so you already know that who was around the camera is dead and that the final scene will include the usual nuke...
I want the same camera model used here with those proton-vilitium batteries, and radiation shield for the memory... it run literally forever, lol...
At half of the movie I really urged to go out because I was able to prophesy exactly what would happen, included: monster still alive and more monster coming.
Why don't simply spend a cent for a call to Duke Nuk'em ? The chicks are good enough so he would come to N.Y. for sure.
