i believe i read somewhere that abrams himself said that the creature came from the ocean... and that whatever fell from the sky woke it up

Sounds to me like there was no real storyline or plot. :shrug: If you never learn any background on the creature, then IMO you fail at telling the story. I will maybe wait till the DVD release. I am sure that it is suspenseful and what not, but I would leave the movie feeling like I got duped if I didn't find out where or what the creature is.

So, did you find out what was going on? Most of the people that I has spoke to still don't have a clue wtf they paid money for.

i thought it was pretty good,

being similar to the blair witch project with the way its being filmed by hand held camera, its all basically happening real time so they dont know what it is.

Hissman - The plot is there but it's not going to make you think and wonder - not super complex :) I don't want to spell it out for you though, incase you go to see it. It's worth seeing, IMO...but like I said, solid C+.

I wouldn't call it a plot. More like walking into a pile of dog crap. Yeah it's there, but gosh does it stink.

Just watched the movie. Boy was it dumb. All the 'Blair Witch' type shooting of the movie ruined it. Absolute garbage. But RAMBO looks good!!!!!

I couldnt watch blair.

I thought that this filming, combined with the special effects really did the trick. Remember, the whole point was to see their view and know what they know about the situation. It's completely watchable, just not fantastic.

I wish this would have come out before blair. People have such a bad taste in their mouths from that BS, it casts a dark shadow of suckage on this film.

I thought it was pretty good. Some pretty messed up shit throughout the entire movie. I like how they made it seem it could be real.

From what I've seen from J.J. Abrams' work, he won't let questions go unanswered.

Another $9 I wish I had back.:(


If I had spent that much I would totally agree. The theater in town that was showing the movie has cheaper tickets early in the day so thats when me and my g/f went plus there is alot less people to distract you. The movie is worth watching but don't have high hopes.

Logic says it's an alien.

How is it out of the 7 people who went to the movie with me and everyone I talk to - I am the only one who saw the alien fall from the sky and land in the ocean at the very end of the movie?

So yes, it was an alien movie.

I believe I saw it too. Was it a splash out in the distance behind the boat?
