Cool disappointment :(

Rating: 5/10 (15 April 2012)

This movie was so disappointing. I wanted to see a Horror movie and what I got was a bloody Truman show/Last action hero Comedy within a Cthulhu mythos. Axe the comedy and you have great potential. I wanted to see a horror!! So I did not only see a movie I wanted to I now want to see a movie I can not. Frustrating. The movie I now want to see is the one which begins at the last scene of this movie. This movie is a prequel for that movie. OK, this movie is fun and maybe even cool, but it still feels like eating an all bread sandwich. I want some meat! A movie where ancient petty immortal Gods who love watching horror movies, rip apart a humanity who couldn't accomplish the simplest of chores, to kill a few dim witted college kids for there enjoyment(appeasement), is a great sounding movie. What I got was a new layer on an old onion, if that's what is good than this movie is great. I have heard this movie be lauded as 'smart'. A movie is not smart simply because it gives purpose for a genre. Smart would have been to be the first 3 hour horror/fantasy/action epic with viewers ranting its praises afterward. Now that would have been confounding. The presumed destruction and war which ensue after this movie ends are awesomely worthy of screen time. It would have been cool, to watch a horror/fantasy/action film with a beginning middle and end on the scale of a Lord of the rings epic. This movie merely wets the whistle. So what you get here is foreplay with no release. Enjoy first base its all you get.
