Be aware of the camera technique!

Rating: 4/10 (6 May 2006)

This camera technique caused us to leave before the movie was half way through. I was motion sick like never before. I'm not sure what the artistic point is to the films the that use this technique -- looks and feels like it was done with a home, personal video camera -- but it ruined this movie for us.
I noticed two ladies down the row from us having the same problem, closing their eyes and getting up and walking out for periods of time, so I know it did not just affect us.
Let me interject here that before last night I really, really wanted to see this movie. That I had read many a review and felt that it was an honor to 93's victims. I felt like I wanted to go and honor them at the same time.
And the part of the movie I did see, seemed to be done tastefully and honorably. There were some unbelievable parts such as the over-friendliness of the flight attendants. I fly a whole lot and I have never seen a flight attendant so animated and bright, much less a whole plane full of them.
I also must say that it was a little confusing as the switched back between the different control centers and towers. It seems to me a film maker could be a little more creative in giving his audience a obvious difference that showed which command was the FAA, New York, Boston, etc.
But for me, I am so upset that it was ruined by the motion sickness. I am not one who gets car sick, plane sick, boat sick, etc. So I am surprised. I have felt queasy in two other movies, the Blair Witch Project, and The Bourne Supremacy, but both of those I watched from beginning to end. This one I could not stay a minute longer, I was going to lose it.
I don't know how to find out about this before going to a movie, but I will do some research. I don't ever want to go to a movie done this way again.
