i've watched it @ TGV Jusco Cheras Selatan yesterday.

heard alot of complains from people in the cinema & some have even went out during like 1/2 & 3/4 of the screening. went with bunch of girls who was kinda interested after the hype of the trailers & all.

for me, it isn't that bad like most would said. i'm sitting in the middle row & was kinda close to the screen. yeah i do feel some dizzyness @ certain point of the movie but it's not until a stage where i feel like vomitting (like the girls who went with me, they actually went out to the toilet & tried to vomit due to dizzyness. )

guess i'm used to FPS games.

anyway, for the review...

many would expect alot from this film over the hype of the trailers & all & would be really disappointed due to the handycam-way of shooting the film. they might expect another Godzilla or Armageddon feel.

not for me though.

i've actually enjoyed it alot. they handycam-shooting actually helped to 'feel' the reality of the whole tragedy. the runnings, shoutings & everything. it's like u were in the situation. really realistic. when the whole building shake during the 'earthquake', the army attacking the creature with the tanks & rocket launchers (the sound-effects... ), the small like zerg-like creatures attacking, the crashing down of the heli etc. its was GREAT.

i think many haven't actually watched Blair Witch & most are used to the traditional way of shooting a film so they would think that the handycam shooting sucks due to the dizzyness & all.

the movie was shot from the point of view from a victim of the tragedy, first-person view. it's a whole new approach of making a film & guess it was made well. for me.

p/s : a piece of advice for those who haven't watch it, do NOT sit too close to the screen unless u can stand the shakings of the handycam. but, if u wan REAL feel of the movie, don't bother then.

the part where the creature 'jumped' out from the cloud of dust to grab the heli was awesome! wonder why a handycam can stand the impact of a heli crashing down, still kinda fake to me. minus marks from there.
