Better Than I Expected

Rating: 9/10 (17 January 2008)

I have to admit that I was pretty hyped going into the movie on Wednesday. I think the cinematography was brilliant. Who wants another monster movie where everything is explained to you while leaving no room for your own interpretation. No one wants another Godzilla. The way this movie was done lets you know a very limited amount of information about the scenario. They don't give the monster a name or explain where it comes from. The only information you know by the end of the movie is what the main characters know. This allows you to feel like you are running around Manhattan with them. Despite the fact that the movie is supposed to be in the view of a person's camcorder the quality is still excellent. The movie is amazing and is definitely not one of the worst movies that will come out this year. A lot of thought was put into the making of this movie and the finished product definitely reflects that. As for the male characters seeming like the same person, you have to keep in mind that there are only three male characters with much time, and majority of the time there are only two. One guy is behind the camera, and only other guy for majority of the movie is the main character. How this is confusing I don't know... The movie is not perfect, but it deserves a 9 or 10 out of 10. Go see it and judge for yourself.
