i thought it was a great movie, minus the unfulfilling ending... just 5 more minutes of what 'next' would have made me entirely happy

i'd still recommend it to anyone that doesn't suffer from motion sickness and the like.

i think it was more for the fans
I followed the viral marketing from near the very beginning in July last year...so I found the movie fantastic. But I also saw the Australian Premiere @ Fox Studios with a full audience, so it was a good atmosphere too. For a film that had a budget of $25-$30million dollars they made a pretty good movie. Considering Godzilla had a budget of like $130 million or even I am Legend which had a budget of 150.

Theres 2 arguments:

1. It came from space and landed in the water ( i think unlikely because whatever fell into the water seemed too small even thought it was in the distance)

2. Something fell from space and landed in the water hitting and awakening the creature at the bottom of the sea

ehhh I don't know. I saw the movie for the first time about 2 weeks ago & I'm still undecided. Half of it wasn't bad but I was real frustrated by the ending. I wanted to know what happened. I mean what was it? Where did it come from? What happened to civilization? Movies like that aggravate me.

Wow, Azza.

It's a movie. Not a documentary. Obviously, if there was a REAL alien invasion the first thing you'd do is drop the camera and run...but somehow I don't think a two hour film of the floor would be very entertaining.

Also, I was able to watch the movie perfectly. The motion didn;t bother me at all and neither did any of my mates I went to go see it with. The jittering wasn't that bad at all. The only time it got bad was when they were sprinting away from creatures. Now, it's physically impossible to keep a steady hand whilst running. I think we both agree on that. But the suspense and anxiety of those moments kept us all on edge.

Also, you must have some lame movie-goers wherever you live if people just get up and leave because "I CNT SEE NUTTN". Everyone that entered into my screening stayed til the very end. the only guy who had a bitch about the movie was having a cry because we never found out what the creature was.

I found it to be a great movie. It picked up where The Blair Witch Project left off in terms of 1st person filming. I thought it was very well directed and created. Plus, the story left room for a sequel or two so that definitely gives us something to look forward to in the coming years.
But if you want a REAL 1st person film, check out "Quarantine" coming out letr in the year. It's a remake of the Spanish independent film "REC" which I had the pleasure of viewing while I was there earlier in the year.

not definately

director matt reeves said at the premiere that there is another guy in the bridge scene that had a camera (you can actually see him in the movie) and it might just be retelling the same story from that guy's camera

so just a different perspective...but more questions will be revealed in this version

but there's lots of rumours that have been going around.


i reckon they'd have a much bigger budget for the second one. Yeah the idea of showing the fear first person was cool (despite creating worldwide dizzyness). But its been done now. I reckon they should make the second about what happens to the monster after the first movie finished. However they end up beating it. And it should be all out action. Crazy war ****!

sorry...i dont know if i'm allowed to use that language on here?

To answer the question where the monster came from,
It came from the ocean.
On the dvd, if you watch the interviews, someone says (I think it was the monsters creator/artist) that it came from the ocean, and it was looking for its mommy or something. The screams it made were screams of fright, not anger. It was scared, and getting attacked in a foreign enviorment didn't help matters.
Oh yeah, and the dude who was taping it said something about (In the movie itself) the monster, and said something about how it might of came from the ocean.

At the ending when the film cuts to Coney island there is a very far away object that falls in to the ocean

Then at the end of the movie a sound plays and if you play it backwards it says "Its Still Alive"

There Will be a second

A sequel has been confirmed, also there is a prequel in Japan that is about the monster but it is a comic and in Japanese but I've read the translation and tells you more about the monster and where it came from

Azza you cannot claim a movie is bad just because you couldn't deal with the way it was filmed. I am normally very critical of movies and a movie like this would be at the top of my list of paying out, along with 98% of "horror" movies that come out.

But like Elaro the first time I watched this movie was under perfect circumstances. It was the first screening at my local cinema, I knew nothing outside the advertising because no one had seen it yet bar prescreeners, and I just went in there with an open mind. I found the filming method to be VERY immersive (it didn't bother me at all either) and the cinema I watched it in was very very loud so it became two things instead of one: Movie/Experience. To watch it as just a movie, I saw it at another cinemas with an even bigger screen yet lower sound, and then at home on video, it was about 5% of the experience of watching it the first time, big screen dark cinema loud as hell and plenty of audience.

If you haven't seen it yet try and set up the perfect scenario for watching it because you will find it to be amazing the first time around.
