This is one of few most extraordinary action movies I have watched. The plot is simple, the main characters are around 5 people, but the settings, the effects and the ending are fabulous.
Some best friends are trapped in the middle of Manhattan, NY, when the whole city is attacked by a giant monster that came out of nowhere. They have to make decisions: to run away, or to save friends and come back for the ones they love. Tough choice.
What makes this movie such an interesting one is one of the characters, Hud (TJ Miller) also acts as a cameraman. He holds a regular video camera most of the time and with a lot of shaking and blurry focus, the audience feels like watching an amateur movie (like the ones we often do at Youtube). This gives the movie a realistic feel.
Hud is also accompanied by Marlena (Lizzy Caplan), Rob (Michael Sthal-David), Lily (Jessica Lucas), Beth (Odette Yustman), and Jason (Mike Vogel).
My Rating: 4/6
Err. It is a good watch, as long as you watch it with me :)
JJ Abrams new idealism. you know what, the movie pretty much about love… >_<
