at first the pace of the movie was quite slow, with all the documentary-style scenes going on. even the main character wasn't too interesting at first. i almost thought the movie was going to be a dissapointment. then, the pace started to pick up, everything gets better, more action scenes, lots of emotional moments, and the main character evolved into someone more interesting. the ending was epic, though i can see that the plot was written with a sequel in mind. the plot and location of the filming is excellent. honestly, this is the movie of the year to me, and though it cannot be compared to the dark knight, i seriously think this is the best movie i've ever watched.

so, seriously, go out and watch it now.

btw, to those who have watched it, what do you think?

It sounds really interesting and different, I want to go see it! Thanks for reassuring me, I have tried to go into it without watching many trailers or reading much about it- I hope that makes it better!

Meh. It looks meh.

It looks like one of those pseudo-cult movies like Cloverfield.

Cloverfield was awesome, one of my favourite cinema experiences ever. Not so great on DVD though.

I like the almost home-made feel of the short film. The movie trailer looks too refined, too much special effects and what not.

Well, with the number of reviews growing (it's at 33 right now), it has a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes!

Direct quote from the review: "his is NOTHING like CLOVERFIELD. It's not that ****of film, where we're watching found video. This is, more or less, a straightforward narrative- although the first section of the film is shot like a news documentary- which I thought was a particularly effective approach."

Not trying to prove you wrong or anything, but don't write it off because you thought it looked like that garbage of a movie, Cloverfield.
