If you haven't seen this movie yet I very strongly advise that you do. The movie got high ratings because its new and unique presentation. There was so much hype for this movie that you didn't need to know what it was about to see I think many people will be put off by the fact that so little is actually learned about the monster, but I think this might be the film's strongest point. Film also delivers more realism than other films can, it made me actually believe what happened in the film was true.The beginning makes you show compassion towards the characters, it shows their personal lives and drama's we've all faced at one point in our life, then, it all gets turned upside down.When people realize what they do and what their mistakes are,they decide to jeopardize even their life and try to correct their mistakes. The camera is controlled by a member of the cast, it is shaky and nervy, and gives you a real sense of panic and disbelief. Mostly it's accompanied by a lot of noise and screaming people, making it all confusing and pointless.
The action was intense.The monster is destroying their city but it doesn't show why the monster is doing it or where the monster is from and how it got there without anyone noticing. Also the movie is incredibly slow off the get go.
