Is the entire movie filmed like a home video? Because this shoddy camera work is seriously making me nauseous and I don't want to continue watching it if it's just going to make me sick.

I love that movie. I like sci-fi flicks and the way it was shot was interesting, much better than Blair Witch and Paranormal Activity which were both shot the same way.

On another note. I don't like when games and anime use shaky cam too much it's annoying...

Pretty much. A few scenes here and there, but mainly a tape the military found in the park after it all ended.

It is... and I personally find that to be an exceptional styIe, only because it requires the actors and actresses to be "normal" and not make it seem as if they are acting for a camera. It gives a very unique perspective on things. [REC] is amazing.

Yep. I actually liked it, and wish more movies were done that way. IMO, if a developer would want to make a proper 2012 movie, he should use that style...

Yes. I saw it on a plane... with a lot of turbulence. Not a good idea. This movie could have been soooo much better if it had been done right.

If you can't cope, try jogging on the spot while watching. It'll balance out.

Yes. You're basically watching a recovered videotape from a simple camcorder.

Which is why your second question makes absolutely no sense in the context of your original post. It makes this whole thread come across (to me, at least) as "I'm not going to watch this movie if it's filmed entirely like a home video so I don't get sick, but maybe I'll reconsider if there's nudity or blood and gore in it." If you're going to ask, you might as well just watch the movie. If you start to feel sick, then you can stop watching it instead of stop watching the movie and asking Gamespot if you're going to get sick.

Um, it isn't actually literally filmed with a home video camera. The "shaky cam" is the biggest flaw of the film. It barely gets any battery life, yet it doesn't die in the film. It has 6.1 Dolby sound. It also edits itself! That is one magic camera.

What an excellent avoidance technique! \o/
