The film had strong characters with personalities that give the story meaning. The objective of the film is more of a real-life struggle during a disaster than a made up story that has a rising action, climax conclusion etc. | | | | Reply | | |

The movie started out a little slow but once the monster comes into the picture it was non stop suspense. Acting is great. The camera does move a lot but thats the point and it makes the movie that much better. It really makes you feel like you are watching something live like a documentary. | | | | Reply | | |

Just poor production. Camera movement is irritating. | | | | Reply | | |

This is a new genre of sci-fi. The effects were excellent and on target. It had all the elements of a good movie. | | | | Reply | | |

I'm a big horror/action movie fan but I must say this movie is ok. Visuals were decent but some of the characters were annoying. It could have been better. | | | | Reply | | |

Poor direction, could have done much much more with this movie. This movie lacked so much and they could have made this a great movie. | | | | Reply | | |
