Breathtaking and very Realistic

Rating: 9/10 (21 January 2008)

When I first came to the movie, I had heard skeptics about it and heard that people were getting motion sickness; the movement of the camera was too intense for them...Finally though, I was able to first walk in to see the climax of the previous events. The movie starts out with actual realism to playing home video: really cool to me...After the camera is rolling about Robs personal life the monster finally attacks after his surprise going away party. His friend, Beth, whom had a sexual relationship with him weeks earlier is now trapped in midtown and is in need of rescue. During the movie I thought that their was no storyline but that the basis of the movie was for closure, more of a regret that Rob needed to say *I love you Beth* (At the end this makes perfect sense.) Well after they rescue her the monster crashes their helicopter that is taking them out of the city and they do die, but at the very end get to say,"I love You" which was really what he wanted to do(Rob) Back to the realism of the whole movie: if a disaster was following a video recording on a home video of a group of people their would be now story line and no background to what it is or why is it happening...The realism of the movie is spectacular*gratz for director* because their was no music no huge orchestra to outline a foreshadowing event.The movie was dazzling and all in pieces when I left but made more than real sense when I put the pieces together!!!! 8.5/10!!! Great movie in the end!!
