I agree wholeheartedly.

i was reading some of the reviews [ie, the new york times] & decided that some of these critics don't know how to have fun.

Seriously, it was a great movie. It's all about just letting yourself believe in it just a little bit, and being incredibly rewarded for doing so.

really? it looks like it would be so awful and cheesy! and not in a fun way. did you go in with no expectations? I think that makes a huge difference. rusty wants to go, but I've been resisting.

just go

really! i avoided all media coverage of it for this specific reason. marketing campaigns can really taint your perception of a movie. i went in knowing that some "thing" attacks nyc & the movie is about these people with a video camera trying to escape.

it wasn't awful nor cheesy & you should know by now i have pretty low tolerances for both.

yeah, I was thinking of maybe just going since you said you liked it. no expectations and maybe I will be pleasantly surprised!

you do have to suspend some disbelief [ie cell phone service underground], but overall, it's a good movie.

for reals. that shit had me bugging out in my seat. i even enjoyed it being surrounded by a crowded theater of very opinionated high school kids who were yelling and throwing things. i think i actually liked the ending better because it made everyone in the theater scream "BULLSHIT" and throw their popcorn at the screen. it made the wife sick due to all of the jerky camera movements.

it wasn't a fucking movie, it was a goddamned experience.

i want more of this shit.

exactly!

i had some motion sickness after the movie, but an ihop dinner fixed that one quickly.
