The shaky-cam made me nauseous. The plot was hopeless.

Rating: Null/10 (26 August 2004)

What on earth are some modern photographers up to? - I was taking moving pictures better than this with my dad's Super 8 camera, when I was 6 years old. The "scenes" last about 1/4 second and that wouldn't be so bad if the viewer had even a fighting chance of focusing on anything. This, unfortunately, is not possible as the photographer seems to suffer from Parkinson's disease, hemiballismus and St. Vitus' Dance - all at the same time. The shots were badly exposed, out of focus, jerking this way and that way and nearly always had some head or other object obscuring most of the subject matter. In short - literally, truly and genuinely an unwatchable movie. About 10% of the people in the cinema walked out. I envy them. I'm greedy and wanted my $9 worth. Like an idiot, I stayed to the end and I still have the effects of motion sickness.
Apart from this appalling and pathetic demonstration of avant-garde cinematography gone seriously wrong, the plot was convoluted, improbable and generally a yawn from beginning to end. Compared to the original movie, which was excellent, the new film appears to have been made by an alien who's balance organs haven't quite adjusted to Earth's gravity.
My score? - Easy - 0.001 out of a possible 1000. - Whatever disdainful superlatives I contemplate, they still don't adequately describe this dog of a movie.
Ugh!
