Actually, the explosion is an oil tanker that the Creature destroys.

Still, I'm going to see this. |
It's probably all set in the deranged psyche of a mutant lungfish.

Read the released Production notes...
Man, this movie is going to be disappointing. |
Looks like a new take on the cliche of the monster movie. More like the kind of a view a hapless citizen would have rather than a military general or the monster itself. It mixes things up a bit, in a way I like.
I'm definetly gonna see it asap, right after I Am Legend. |
Just read them. How so? I see nothing in there foretelling gloom and doom other than that which is depicted in the actual film.
|
It's boring.
The opening party scene is 20 minutes long, they never explain the monster, and you only get a couple of good looks at it. Lame. |
That's what you get when you let film-makers make the movie they want to make, instead of the movie their pre-emptive fanbase wants them to.

My internets have been down for awhile, so I would've posted this sooner but...
The monster isn't Godzilla, Cthulhu or the Whale monster, it's a lot smaller, and reminded me of the monster from The Host, but with more legs. It shits what appear to be Antlions (Half Life 2 versions) or something close to them, and has 4 limbs that don't have a discernable use. I have to say that the first 15 minutes were long and kind of boring, just people planning a party, etc... and how it was shot made me stand up and flip the screen and crowd off a few times. Needed way more shots of the monster, and I know that if I had been the guy taping it then I would have avoided shit like focusing on peoples faces. Should have been more bite victims. period. Ending sucked balls, just, christ, it was such a cop out. |
Movie rocked. Kastere has a sucky opinion.
|
Kastere's right, it's a terrible giant monster movie.
I'd rather watch Gamera movies, to be honest. However, it was really well-done, acting-wise and detail wise, but the shakey-cam annoyed the living hell out of me. |
If it's like The Host I'll like it, even if it's just a little bit. If it's completely brainless with a cool monster it should be fun to watch, but I do hates me some shakeycam. Not nearly as much as I hate multiple shots on one screen ala 24.
|
It's fucking awesome. People who say they need to see the monster more are retards.
Why? Honestly, please give me one decent reason why you feel the movie would be better with more monster shots. The opening scene was cool, and it didn't go for too long. The movie is about the people, not the fucking monster. Was great to see with the surround sound blaring at the theatre. |
Because Monsters are cool and interesting to get a good look at?
|
It is a survival story, not biological bloody field notes!
|
Extended monster shots would have taken away from the whole "I'm trying not to die" feel of the movie. Duh.
Plus, not having a completely clear idea of what's causing all the destruction makes it that much more scarifyin'. |
Well, maybe, I'd prefer a Godzilla 'man in a suit falling hilariously on miniatures' movie then a "Oh crap We're scared and running from something we only saw the foot of" movie.
But that's just me. |
I have not seen this film, but I do usually get very annoyed when monsters in monster films are not shown enough. There are exceptions, but sometimes sticking with the ‘seeing less makes it more scary’ idea backfires by drawing attention to itself. Cool monsters should be able to be seen as cool monsters, and it needn’t detract any from the fear/story/character study/whatever they put in films these days (which is to say I don’t see many, and don’t expect to see this one).
|
From what I hear, it adds to the realism of being caught on camera buy one of the characters. People point, he turns around just in time to see it disappear behind a building.
|
I saw the movie.
God, I wish this Hud guy was a better cameraman. Would have been more fun for me, I actually got a little sick some times. |
It took me forever to find, but here's a nice clean shot of the monster for all of you whiney little twats.
Suck it. |
Truly no words I can think of make that any better.

I just talked about Asian movies twice in one post! |
I found this with some better views of the monster, mostly after the halfway point:
I want to see the movie, I can see where the hand camera action would look good, but I hope too much of the film wouldn't just be flashing chaos and you can't see what's going on. That's not scary, it's annoying. |
It's not like that really. You get heaps of good looks at what's going on, what's attacking etc. The camera guy focuses on stuff a lot more than I would in that situation. I would be the fuck outta there.
|
I'll ask now, would anyone care if I posted pictures of the monster?
|
I would.
I'd consider it spoilers and use that handy new 'posted spoilers' infraction Peter gave me to use. Considering it's not released here till February I think that's fair |
Would spoiler tags work on them?

Let's see. Edit: No, no spoiler tags do not hide images. Disregard this post. Just post the link to the image in spoiler tags chimplople |
