A monster movie for teenyboppers.

Rating: 1/10 (19 January 2008)

The beginning of the movie was alright; a bunch of kids attending a going away party for 'Rob' who is a pretty popular guy that has scored a new job as vice president of some unknown company and is being transfered to Japan. As the party drags on and on, I began to question it's degree of directorial professionalism. A movie that is weak in content is frequently stretched by using long periods of meaningless dialog.
Then, suddenly, there is a very loud 'boom' and I said to myself, 'now it begins'. 'Now it's going to live up to it's good ratings.'and for a few minutes it did. Buildings being destroyed. Vehicles overturned. Brief glimpses of the 'monster'. Then it slowed down again and never really got any better.
A very bad script. Poor direction. Hand held cameras that were OK in some areas but mostly distracting and actually quite annoying. It was kind of like a poorly done reality show with fake monsters thrown in for kicks. People were leaving the theater halfway through the movie.
Really, really bad. Don't waste your money.
