Not worth the money

Rating: 3/10 (18 January 2008)

First, as many have said before, don't go to this movie if you are prone to motion sickness. Or, unless you take Dramamine. I appreciate the attempt at a first-person POV film, but more than a few people in the theater were looking away from the screen as characters ran recklessly through the streets of Manhattan.
Second, if you choose to go to this film, check reality at the door. I know it's a monster movie, so reality isn't necessarily the point. However, some of the things the characters are able to do go far beyond their, or their technology's capabilities.
Third, it is short and ends abruptly. Thankfully, I went for free, but $9.00 or more for what amounts to a super-sized episode of Lost seems pricey. I enjoy going to movies for closure. I left feeling like I didn't know what happened to Manhattan. I would also like to know, if Manhattan was supposedly completely destroyed by the monster and military, how was the video recovered from Central Park. Some closure on that would have made the film much more enjoyable.
Don't waste your time or money. Innovative, but predictable, nauseating, and unbelievable.
