Righto I went this this one last night along with a few other members of this group and the general consensus afterwards was that it was a very good film.

Obviously I won;t go into too much detail of how the whole thing pans out but I have to say that this one lives up to much of the hype they generated for it. Don't expect any oscar winning performances but the acting is pretty good from the group of relative unknowns. I actually think the film benefited from casting in this way as it wasn't about anyone being the star of the show.

For me one of the best things about it was the feeling of tension during certain parts. You knew something was going to happen but wasn't always aware where it was gonna come from or how. The pacing of the film was also just about right for me. They managed to get in a decent amount of back ground story so you knew a little about the characters but not too much so as to detract from what everyone wanted to see which was a big fucking monster ripping the shit out of New York city.

The special effects worked really well and I think it helped that it was done with a hand held camera as it didn't look too CGI fakey.

Another thing as well is that the film threw up some more questions after viewing it. I obviously won't go into detail but it begs the question if there will be any follow on from it or possibly even a sequel (don't laugh this is Hollywood remember!).

Anyway to sum up, really good film. For me it delivered on pretty much everything that I wanted. Definitely recommended to see on the big screen for full effect.

Excellent film-lived up to the hype (imo) and for me not a lot of films manage to do that. Very gripping. Was actually disappointed when it was the end-that old cliche time flys when your having fun was so true,the time went so quick.

Any way won't say too much as its only just come out and wouldn't want to spoil it. Definitely go and see it asap.

remember we stayed till the end and heard a mysterious whisper?

Well someones recorded it, and reversed it!

Nice touch!

I didn't want to put Soph through the hassle of taking him to A&E ;-)

That's next on the hitlist. It's out in a couple of weeks actually so will stick up an event page for it.

Dave is an asshole for completely ruining the fate of the monster for me.

Alright kids stop the bickering right now.

I didn't see what Dave posted so he must have deleted pretty sharpish so he realised his mistake. Sorry if you read it before he did delete it Drewsabbath but don't start with the name calling.

Well the 14th is actually a Thursday so I think the 15th may be more doable or maybe mid week the following week?
