Yeah, I think it looks really interesting. I've kind of had this idea to do a mockumentary super hero film for a while. This kind of stole my idea. Although I couldn't have done anything as cool as this.

I enjoyed it a lot, it was pretty exciting. But I didn't think it was anything amazing. It was very predictable, some of the effects looked a bit funny, and the found-footage point of view became less believable, I suppose it was just lucky these guys filmed everything otherwise we wouldn't have a movie.

Seen it today thought it was pretty average. I'm getting sick of these types of movies (handheld camera). I thought the part near the end was stupid. Actually glad when it ended

I liked the first half better, when they were mucking around learning about their powers before he went all Carrie. And who set up the camera in the hospital?

Well someone has to be the negative one around here, no one else is doing it.

It was alright. I liked the comedy in the first half and some of the action in the second half was really good (like when he beat down the 4 neighbourhood tough guys).

My major issue was the characters, they killed the best character way too early in the piece and the other characters were just not strong enough to carry the film.

Could have been a lot better, but I liked that it was too halves. A comedic half, which was actually hilarious and some of the best comedy in a while. And an action half, which was weak and they clearly lifted scenes and shots straight from Cloverfield.

I liked it quite a lot.
Sure, it was without it's flaws, but it definitely built on the found footage genre where other films of the same type have not.
And I agree with Milky:
They did kill Steve off too early in. He was the most colorful character out of the group (no racism intended), so when he died watching the other two was a bit.....dull.
On a less relevant note: as I was watching I realized the guy that played Steve also played Alex in Parenthood! [MOG]

Is the whole movies shot from the perspective of a handheld camera or just some of it?

Reason is when I saw Cloverfield at the cinema I got motion sickness from the camera moving so much and had to leave.

It is shot from perspective of handheld, but it isn't as bad as Cloverfield.

Early on it is a bit bad in scenes, but then the characters use their telekinesis to control the camera. They will send the camera off to hover above whatever they are doing. It works really well.

May have to wait to see it on a smaller screen.

Yeah, I agree. Stuff stupidly shaky films. The worst ever in my opinion was The Kingdom. Great film ruined by crap camerawork. Intolerable on the big screen. I mean it wasn't even just on action shots. Even still one and two shots. Like the camera man was beating off all the time. Your eyes can sort of take it on an action scene, but for static shots it is just beyond stupid. It is like standing there talking to someone holding a jackhammer in your teeth.

I agree with most of the statements above about the movie. I liked the first half but believed the second half to be a lot weaker. I still think the movie was good but not amazing. Also, I hate the idea of it being viewed through a camera. I just didn't see the purpose of it. [Rage]

I'm just glad to hear I'm not the only one who thought the movie wasn't as good as it was hyped to be. I had a few friends who thought it was amazing but I begged to differ. *shrug*

I saw this today and thought it was alright, I agree with most of the stuff said in this thread. 1st half strong 2nd not so much. I wish there was more about the 'thing' that gave them powers though. Because it looked pretty cool and a sighting or a bit of research into it wouldn't have gone a stray

The downward spiral into batshit insanity wasn't as well documented as I had hoped. Maybe I had too high expectations, but it was still a good viewing.

not looking forward to the sequel, though

Yeah, I really don't need to put my view in here, because all of you pretty much summed it up for me.

I did however feel that the first 3/4s of the movie, the writers were like THIS IS AN AWESOME CONCEPT. then with the last quarter, it's like they hit a brick wall and went loldoesntmatter
