Beware High ratings on IMDb

Rating: 2/10 (17 August 2009)

I went to see this late Friday night, largely in part due to the fact that the film's ratings on this site right before I went were almost unanimously positive. How disappointed I was to sit walk out of the theater hours later, thinking I had been ripped off, not by the filmmakers but by bogus postings on IMDb. I am now convinced that people stack ratings on films in current release to generate interest. This film was horrible. Horrible CGI; horrible acting and an extremely inane premise. Don't waste your money. Next weekend, The Time Traveler's Wife.... Things wrong with this film: 1) South African dialect is nearly impossible to understand. 2) The "documentary" format of the film detracts from the story. 3) While pretty to look at, the female lead is a horrible actress. 4) Like a lot of horror films today, this film can't decide on whether it wants to be a comedy or a dramatic film. HORRIBLE film.
