Julian R. White Its obvious this was just a rip off of the film "Cloverfield" but its not the worst thing I've ever seen. Some of the acting is convincing while some of it is incredibly bad. One thing I've noticed? Apparently when an entire room full of people scream at you to turn off a camera, you're supposed to ignore them. One thing that infuriates me is that a classic "ROOOOOOOAR" is heard throughout the city, and the 2 american girls are still scratching their heads saying "What's with all the earthquakes?". Its pretty ridiculous. Not to mention my least favorite part? You never really see much of the monster, only really what you would expect given the cover art of the DVD. This is another one of those films that proves how Americans are so much different from the Japanese and seem a lot more crude and disrespectful, but I won't get into all that. Bottom line the movie was, I suppose decent, and had an interesting story line, it just wasn't all that impressive.
rickyhurtz69 I am angry that a portion of my life that is now gone was spent watching this abortion. I have to ask the actress/writer/whatever what she was thinking? I could understand this as an 8th grade project, MAYBE, but this is terrible and an affront to thinking humans everywhere. I know I lost IQ points watching this. First of all, why do these college-age people have to push their global-warming BS? Second, IF YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A MONSTER ATTACK A CITY - MAKE IT "NOT-TOKYO!!!!" Come on, this city has had enough monsters.But the main problem is that these young ladies actually tried to make a serious movie that only a 12-year old could have dreamed up. Nothing makes sense. Beyond that, women everywhere should be bitch-slapping these women for putting women back into the pre-1980's "we are scared of everything" mindset.Redeeming qualities. The chest and butt of the lead character was the only thing good about the movie. Definitely nice to see an "actress" (stretching the title here) who does not sport silicon body parts. Maybe, just maybe, had they descended into a lesbian-incestuous scene, I might have forgotten that I pay Netflix every month to keep crap like this online.
kdnor2011 This movie is Bad. I mean really Bad, as much as I hate movies like Meet the Spartans and the Hurt Locker, I at least know that the people making those films are trying to make something good. This is a shameless rip-off, that they made, solely to make money after the success of Cloverfield.The plot is very similar to Cloverfield. Except instead of 6 teenagers in New York, we have 2 American sister reporters in Tokyo. They are interviewing a Japenese man when a horrible CGI tenticle comes up and begins destroying the city. So we follow the two through their adventures while trying to survive. I'm going to be honest, I haven't watched the ending yet, so I don't know what the monster looks like, but believe me, I don't care.And if you thought the camera in the Hurt Locker was bad, this movie is literally 45% static. Most of the movie I can't see anything, just a cheap way to get out of showing special effects.So is there anything I liked? Well, the two main actresses were actually pretty good. Not outstanding, but I do hope they have promising careers ahead of them.
rimple Some films are abhorrently bad, but you can still find a redeeming quality in it. But this thing was a monstrous waste. Time better spent watching a turd floating in gas station toilet.Typically, you should feel sympathy for a character. In this film I couldn't wait for the 2 stupid girls to die - despite Sarah Lieving's cleavage shots. Forsberg, Estenberg and Latt should be tarred and feathered for creating such plotlessness, inane dialog and most of all, that retarded damaged tape effect that compelled me to chuck my beer bottle at the TV and hit my wife for buying the damn DVD when there is economic crisis going on.You might be a masochist and want to watch this for the pain factor. Fair enough, but remember there is a long list of other films which should never have been made. Watch one of those instead or better yet, clean your bathroom tiles with a toothbrush.As director Lech Kowalski says: "Film is ecologically unsound and messes up a lot of water in the process of development. Why mess up so much water by making a bad film?"
