I thought it was fantastically shot and edited for the, reported, $25M. Other sites have it at $50M plus marketing, but either way there’s plenty of other movies – US Godzilla and I Am Legend spring to mind – that are crap in comparison. Money notwithstanding,I think it was great. I thought revealing the monster over time from teasing frames and angles to the eventual full blown close up was timed very well. The actors were great (just ’cause they aren’t paid $20M doesn’t mean they are no good), lighting was fantastic, pacing was spot on and dialogue was totally believable – except I think there would be more swearing in real life (damn those sensors!)). The personal aspect of the way it was shot made it easy to suspend disbelief and immerse yourself in the “OMG we are f**ked now” feeling that made for permanent suspense in the film. Only bad thing to say is that I would have liked the end credits background “military” titles to have confirmed that there was a free BBQ for all to be had in Central Park on roasted Alien ass and to bring some salsa!!

I thought the film was fantastic.
Would have liked to have seen the monster vapourised and turned to slosh, digged it, i thought the way the film ended was worthy of watching it in itself thank god it wasn’t another sooky we beat another monster ending. Manhattan was gone POOF!
Hopefully a sequel will come out with more freeky monsters arriving to save there vapourised buddy and they can trash a continent or two!

Awful. I had high expectations for this movie going in but when I realized the whole movie was going to be through a video camera some dumbass was holding (I prayed he would die through the whole movie) my hopes dropped. I respect the attempt at originality and suspense but I genuinely hated this movie.

I thought that, too… at first.

Turns out that, according to the producers, the creature had been sleeping under the sea for ages. The object was a falling satellite, which sunk underwater and awakened the monster.
