A new genre is born

Rating: 10/10 (2 February 2008)

When the film ended in the cinema, the audience was silent. Amongst the silence all I good hear were "that was brilliant" or "wow" comments. I have to agree with them!! It shows that a movie doesn't have to have a detailed story line or background explaining origins, to entertain you. It was a movie made purely for the viewers experience, you are on the journey with them and know all they know as they try to understand the situation. The camera work makes you feel a little dodgy at first, but you get use to it. I must say that the editing to make a big budget monster movie look amateurish was inspired. This monster really puts Godzilla to shame! The look of it is very different to my preconceptions to what it was like. I am disappointed at people who expected more from this movie (in terms of the story). Nothing else was needed, you are meant to use your imagination and fill in the gaps. That is what makes this movie great because it was different.
