This film was one of those that went viral on the internet and there was a lot of buzz. I have to admit that I didn’t see it until it came out on DVD because I didn’t know what to expect and someone said it was quite good. This is one of those found footage films which see a bunch of annoying New Yorkers have a party when something hits the city. What we get over the 80 minutes or so is a fast paced film where you never get a good look at it and we never get to find out what it is and where it has come from. Being from the man behind Lost and the reboot of the Star Trek franchise, it was clear that this film wasn’t going to be boring.
The main problem with this film though is that I really don’t care about the characters that we see. They are all irritating people who thing the most stupidest of things are important and don’t really see to be based in the real world. The first twenty minutes are the worst because we have to spend time with these annoying people who I would detest in the real world. Thankfully though when the thing hits that’s when the film picks up because the mayhem gets you past the 1 dimensional characters.
When they are trying to get away from the centre of the action it seems like its quite a good movie however the stupid lead character decides that he wants to go back to the ex-girlfriend who he wasn’t very nice to before she left his party and then the movie goes back to being these stupid 1 dimensional characters. Thankfully there is enough of the action to keep things ticking over nicely and I actually thought it was a pretty good film. It just could have done with less annoying people.
