Shaky-cam has got to go

Rating: 7/10 (15 August 2009)

I thought aliens look great, it's a good plot, the characters are good (some of them are a little cookie-cutter but no major complaints).
but the constantly shaking camera has got to go. I know some movies are filming this way (a la MTV style) to give it "added" excitement but this film had great action already - if you add the shaky cam it removes the element of tension-release and creates nothing but tension. Total drag.
So I would've given it a 9 but 2 points deducted for shaky-cam, making it a 7 overall. :)
Wow it looks like they want me to write another line - I didn't want to continue because I would just start babbling. ummmmm... let me think .... I was actually really excited to see this movie - it was the plot element that drew me in. It was about what I expected - it wasn't all that deep but was a nice solid plot to build a scifi movie on. Really I liked everything except shaky cam (see comments above)
