This is the beginning of the negative buzz… Add one more movie to see on one dollar movie night, six months from now.

Saw a screening last night. It is not as bad as Snakes on a Plane, but still pretty weak. Characters and dialogue are z-grade. And yes, the camerawork is extremely shaky. That is basically the only time the film works – when it is loud and disorienting. The monster looks like (SPOILER) a big CGI monster! Also, there were tons of people trying to get in to the screening. Unlike SOAP, this film is rated PG-13 and will probably make a ton of cash this weekend. Will be quickly forgotten though.

could this possibly be living up to the hype?

looks like it… even the tomato throwers are giving it a decent grade. metacritic seems to be a bit more reserved, but it still comes out with a decent rating for a mindless sci-fi flick.
