That damage being caused by a massive creature or robot making it cooler.<BR/><BR/>Human drama and monsters? Yes I've always wondered "how would people act if a monster was tearing up the city?"... <BR/><BR/>At least if it was more interesting perspective like a news team or something, and actually have shots of the monster!!!<BR/><BR/>You cut Abrams a lot of slack. I'm so sick of his whole "I'm so clever hehehehe I'm not going to tell the audience anything, and thus I'll look smart hehehehe"<BR/><BR/>It's not brilliant to cover up a lack of imagination and forsight by opting out of telling us key points. My friends thought this was so smart "just like Lost" ugh...<BR/><BR/>Anyways I'll just end up ranting if I type anymore about this movie.<BR/><BR/>I'm just glad we pirated it... I'd be enraged if I paid $15 to see it.<BR/><BR/>Your review is spot on minus not slamming Abrams enoughtraumadorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00387315561167115253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38902250.post-89513701871996852062008-01-22T12:36:00.000-08:002008-01-22T12:36:00.000-08:00Ha! What a great and entertaining review. It doe...Ha! What a great and entertaining review. It does sound interesting, but not 2-hours interesting to me, and I'm not likely to go see this in theaters anyway.<BR/><BR/>"(because cheap handheld cameras have night-vision)"<BR/><BR/>All CCD cameras can see infrared. Some actually come with IR lamps. So it's not "night vision"; it's IR-vision.<BR/><BR/>For a really good, innovative monster movie, see the Korean kaiju film, <I>The Host</I>. Brilliant, funny, and way more inventive than I was anticipating!Dicing with Dragonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03132972790091524968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38902250.post-543982921725693472008-01-22T06:21:00.000-08:002008-01-22T06:21:00.000-08:00J saw this the other day and he thought it was tot...J saw this the other day and he thought it was totally unbelievable...that some guy would film his friends dying...He thought the line, "people are going to want to know what happened" was a particularly lame excuse.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01477707480338232435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38902250.post-46283942467007850772008-01-21T13:35:00.000-08:002008-01-21T13:35:00.000-08:00Great review!
