Title: Don't waste your money!
Review: This is by far the most I've ever felt gypped after buying a DVD! The director ought to be horsewhipped! Apparently he decided that the premise was SO idiotic that there was no way he could explain why ANYTHING happens - so he doesn't. We never even have a hint about where the monster comes from, what it is, why it's attacking New York, what it's trying to accomplish.... Oh, yes. And why this movie was ever made. Apparently keeping the viewer in the dark PAST the closing credits is considered "arty" by people trying to substitute that for talent.And what can I say about the hand-held camera idea? Its spastic motion all over the place (as opposed to pointing it in the direction of something you'd want the viewer to see...) gave me a splitting headache from eyestrain. Other flicks have managed to use the hand-held technique WITHOUT showing us the floor 70% of the time. (Best-ever hand-held: "Band of Brothers.")My recommendation: Run away from this, as fast as you can!
