I'm scared to go out and watch this because of the reports I've read people getting motion sickness.

haha..I'm not sure yet if I will watch it. Is there more sustance to it than a mysterious monster destroying New York? I've seen sketches of the monster by people who have been in the test screenings and wheras I love JJ Abrams' work, to me it seems to be a trick to lure people into the theaters. Might be wrong though, maybe it even has a cool story :)

I initially gave it a B-, but after thinking about it that might be a little low. Sure, I almost fell asleep at times and the characters are so unbelievably one-dimensional that there is nothing progressing you through the story because you sure as hell don't care what happens to these characters, but the style and concept are pulled off quite well. I would have easily given it an A, but the complete lack of character development makes you not care at all about what happens. Also, the CGI effects of the monster are pretty bad, except for the some shots near the end (but all of the non-monster cgi was excellent).

Twenty bucks says when I see it again in the comfort of my own home, I'll raise it up to an A-. Or maybe it's a thing where after I watch it a few times and get the feel of the characters, I start to care more. It's still worth seeing in theaters, because there's not going to be anything quite like it for awhile. I'm sure a bunch of people will try, but it's going to be mighty hard to pull off.

I liked the fact that they went with a high budget risk film. I think it must of taken a ton of convincing to studios, producers and banks in order to film this film. Especially when you have the creature kicking the US military's ass and defacing new york to a super high extent, even worse than the day after tomorrow. Bold choice to be honest and i liked it because it was original. Not the best movie but definitely broke monster genre.
