This started Friday. Anyone see it?
From the previews I saw it looks like a dud with all the computer aided graphics, but I could be wrong.
I just got back from seeing it. It wasn't as bad as some "reviews" were indicating. A couple I read compared this to "found footage" films like "Blair Witch", but it's not like that at all. Sure, they used cell phones and GoCams are featured quite a bit, but it wasn't like they shot the whole film that way. (i.e it's not all shaky hand-held cam footage)
It's not a documentary. It's just entertainment. There are all kinds of things one could pick apart, but just set that aside and enjoy it for what it is.
I'd rank it a little below "Twister", but much better than most "direct-to-SyFy Channel" disaster movies. The effects were not quite as cheesy as I expected.
The only other movie I thought was better this summer was "Apes".
