JJ Abrams is a genius. It was a really awesome movie. The whole thing is first person so be prepared to feel a little dizzy. Excellent plot, ecellent story all told in about an 1hr and a half. The monster is pretty cool looking not going to ruin it but it looks like they got the idea fom a video game... not going to say which one.

I highley recommend you go see it I just got out of the midnight showing

The rumor I heard (and also something NON OFFICAL i saw) made the monster look like a cross between a Whale and a Crab. Will be interested to see if he is indeed a Whale Crab.

Nope, doesn't have any whale in it. More of a mix between the Chimera from Resistance: Fall Of Man and a praying mantis.

It was the most thrilling movie I have ever seen & trust me, I watch movies in the cinema often. The movie is bulit more for cinema viewing as it tend to draw you within it. It felt like I was part of the ordeal, all the first peron type of camer style. Wow! If you guys want to gve yourself a treat then watch it in the cinema soon!(If you watch it in DVD, you'll realize that you should have watched it in the cinema instead).

They shake realisticly in every way the characters are behaving(Running, walking, freaked out, stumbling, and etc.). Its a discomfort at first but ony for a few seconds but causes no real probelems at all specially for us gamers who should be used to these kind of visuals.

JJ Abrams is a genius. It was a really awesome movie. The whole thing is first person so be prepared to feel a little dizzy. Excellent plot, ecellent story all told in about an 1hr and a half. The monster is pretty cool looking not going to ruin it but it looks like they got the idea fom a video game... not going to say which one.
