Real-Paul-Feig Saw this movie finally after seeing one of the Producers talk at an event - boy did Scott E Weinberg talk up a turd! This is one of the worst movies out there but plays out like a guy learning how to use his camcorder. Mr. Weinberg took most of the credit for this film saying he basically directed it too, that the director was always too high to direct. And it shows! Avoid like the plague.

redsabin Let me just say this, right off the bat. Found footage has not and will never be my thing. Because what i just did when i watched the movie, was watch one of the defining moments of the found footage genre. I mean, MY GOD!! The acting was incredible. Maybe it was a bit meta with when were they "acting badly" ...so some acting bits seem bad ...or are they just that good?The clichés are all there, jump scares, the lot of them but my God, something makes it magical where even the actors are calling out their own tropes. You will laugh, maybe even freak out abit, but its not until the 3rd act (which the movie cleverly acknowledged) that you realize, that is not a fanta you've spilt on your pants and you're gonna need a change and a priest just in case this life is a found footage film in itself, and a whole lot of hell is coming your way.Bloody, brilliant movie.

Nicholas Friend FOUND FOOTAGE 3D is among the best 3D movies ever made. Granted, aside from Avatar, Beowulf (ugh) and Gravity, there aren't a lot of adult or mature 3D movies that have been made that are worth watching. That being said, I think that Jackass: 3D was the first movie to truly utilize the "interactive" properties of filming a movie in 3D. And that's actually what brings me to praise this movie as much as I am. There's an inherent problem with found footage movies. That is, "why the hell is the camera still on?" This movie answers the age-old question from the get-go; we're making a fake movie. With this fact in mind, everything falls directly into place. The performances are spot-on with regards how the film has presented itself. When they're "rolling," they're in character. We hear the self-indulgent director/producer/actor in the film call "cut" and the scene changes on a dime. We get this verité-esque feel to each scene. The tension slips in under the cloak of comedy in a very Mitchell Hurwitz-ian way, making us look one way while there's a bear trap being baited right behind us. In a stroke of editing genius, everything comes to a head and then falls apart in the blink of an eye. Mimicking both reality and story structure that would cause Villeneuve to applaud at the least, The crux of the film and the film's ending (which is quite satisfying) project onto the audience the incessant question: "why the hell is the camera still on!?" The director justifies this beautifully, making the camera a needed part of the story. Somehow, this movie makes the very camera on which it was filmed, nearly a character in-and-of itself. Very, very clever. a refreshing and much needed revival to some seriously cool technology.

vcolombo I don't like found footage movies. Even the ones I've come close to liking I felt would have been better if they had dropped the found footage aspect. The Blair Witch Project made me want to ask for my money back. That said, I loved Found Footage 3D!Found Footage 3D starts out as a legitimately funny satire of found footage horror films and, before you know it, it becomes a legitimately scary found footage horror film. The filmmaker handled the switch between spoof and horror so well that you barely notice it until you find yourself thinking, "Hey, when did that happen?" The cast is excellent, the story is well-developed and engaging, and the cinematography is great with some shots that make subtle but impressive use of 3D.I wasn't sure what to expect going into this movie given my general dislike of the found footage genre, but I walked away impressed by the discovery of a found footage film that I enjoyed. If you are a fan of found footage, you'll appreciate the ways this movie pokes fun at the genre yet becomes a unique entry into the steadily growing list of found footage films. If like me, you haven't been a fan of found footage, you should give this movie a chance. You might find yourself surprised.
