supposedly a highly anticipated from jj abrams...didn't know about this movie until i read in the papers that movie critics weren't given a chance to preview the movie hence there wasn't any review in my weekly copy of 8 days.
ong sor fern from straits times went out on limb to say it should be good pending her retrospective review. another journalist, tan yek keak, also from st, complained that the movie gave him a 50-panadol headache. haha...
that was no doubt contributed by the hand-cam mode of shooting in the movie, a la 'the blair witch project'. i must say it isn't your typical, run of the mill hollywood blockbuster monster movie.
i kind of like its unconventionality though i was slightly disappointed with the ending. not enough of a closure i feel. frankly, the ending left me and the audience at the theatre feeling shortchanged.
it's was, 'huh?! the movie ended?! duh!'
but i guess, the ending remains true to the style and tone of the whole movie.

But I hate them just the same. :-)
