I saw it last night and personally I thought it was brilliant. I felt it lived up to the hype. It was brilliant because you are only following the story as told by those with the camcorder. they base it on a quasi reality of These people don't know where the monster came from so we are not going to know either. Why do WE need to know the whole back story of why was the monster there? Where did it come from? How do we stop it? No. we ARE the camera guy in the group as we run for our lives trying to survive.........bla...bla...bla.
I too agree with DW and Chilly.... this movie was fantastic!
I haven't left a movie in a long time thinking "Why the hell did they do that?" Just to follow up with the thought... "they had too so that they could make the movie" But I really liked the fact that no information was given on the monster and why it was there... etc...etc.... Made my imagination run for the first time, in a long time, about a movie. I want to go see it again to see if I can find stuff I missed. And seeing it on the big screen makes all the difference in the world.
Also... The Star Trek Trailer was another Coverfield teaser... It ends with "Under Construction...Christmas 2008" So, he (Abrams) is starting the hype early on this one as well.
And last... Voltron... it is a monster... Godzilla, Mothra, King Kong, Mother in laws, etc... it is simply a city destroying monster... with gills.
