If you go to see this movie, bring your Dramamine.

Rating: 5/10 (18 January 2008)

If you go to see this movie, I highly recommend you sit in the very back of the theater and dose up on Dramamine before you go. The camera work is SO jumpy and all over the place that by minute 40, I thought I was going to puke on the bald guy sitting in front of me. There were moments in the movie when I literally had to stare at the ceiling as if I was car sick to stop my head from spinning. My boyfriend felt the same way and we talking to the people sitting next to us after the movie, and they wanted to puke too...this is coming from someone who usually sits in the first five rows (we moved to the back but it wasn't much better) Aside from having my first movie experience every that actually made me physically ill, the movie was fine, but nothing spectacular. I thought it opened well, but over all, they never go into any detail as to what the monster is so there is none of the "let's figure out what's happening to us and how we can beat the monster" kind of stuff. The movie is literally 1. A hipster party 2. An attack on New York and 3. Running and running and running from a monster. To the eventual and unremarkable conclusion that I will not spoil for you.
