NOT WETA! Vancouver Film School!

Rating: 10/10 (22 August 2009)

Firstly, just wanted to clarify that fact.
This movie has it's flaws, but it is a sure 9 on a scale of one to ten. Realistic, gritty, gripping, unnerving, unsettling, frantic, energetic, amazingly well executed. Wow, many, many pluses to this film! WHOA! I do, however, as a proud Canadian, not only tip my hat to Neill but his buddies at the Vancouver Film School. Too many people believe that since Peter Jackson has produced this film that it's WETA behind the CG.
It isn't.
The effects in this movie astonish one with their near-seamless integration to the actualities taking place. Really, really incredible.
I loved the believability of this film, and it even had some heart.
Grisly, yes, but not for it's own sake.
This movie really lingered with me a lot. It certainly leaves an impact on you, you cannot deny that.
Great movie, original, brash, daring, an experience you will not soon forget.
