A cheap movie

Rating: 1/10 (30 June 2005)

Well, what can I say? This movie annoyed me so much. I can't imagine how a director can make such cheap scenarios. Just imagine, two people arguing for a car while in the background the big beast is chewing everything.. but they have to give you the idea that "people are so bloody locked in their petty activities, oblivious to anything else". A cliché, if you ask me. I'm gonna forgive all those little errors of alignment (every electric object has been rendered useless after the EMP strike, yet people on the street take shots with their digital cameras or film the tripod and so on). In my view, this movie is all about managing a pair of absolutely imbecile kids. I can't believe that people can act so STUPID in real life. When you're about to be eaten alive you're not buggering your father with useless questions and you do not start screaming like a mad person. All the "don'ts" possible in such a situation have been thoroughly explored by Spielberg. And possibly the biggest disappointment of all was that things ended happily. After all, it's an American movie. And why, oh, why, everything happens in America?
