I just saw this. Great movie. My friend ruined the tension when the monster was about
tho. Idiot shouted "Quick summon the final Aeon!" Jackass.
to eat Hud
Awesome, awesome movie. I never seen anything like it on that scale before. It felt really epic and did a better job at convincing you an entire city is being messed u then "regular" films like Godzilla and its ilk.
I think I'll mount a Hud Defence Force : I actually liked the guy. He was a dumbass yes but I still felt sorry for him when he was eaten. The comic relief usually doesnt get owned like that so it was a bit jarring (mission accomplished then I suppose).
I dont know what you're getting at here? Do you mean the characters relationships or the talk about the monster? Personally if a huge monster attacked my town I would sure take a few seconds here and there to wonder what the fuck it was and where it came from.
There were alot of "holy shit" moments and they showed alot more of the monster then I thought they would. Actually I could have lived without the Hud being eaten scene, not because I liked Hud, but because they dwelt too long on the monster and showed me too much of it standing there in broad daylight. What I seen at night in the city was enough
I missed the bit at the end where the object falls from the sky when Beth and Rob are at Coney Island. Damn youtube quality clip shows nothing.

Jeez, you're all crazy about which characters were likable. Hud was hilarious and seemed to genuinely care about the other folks. Rob was a fucking cock who didn't give a shit about putting all his friends lives at risk for some dumb cum-bucket that he got to tap once.

Really enjoyed this film....throughout
However, the scenes at the beginning of the film when the city was under attack were flat out incredible...atmospherically, artisically and sonically...just intense.
I enjoyed the format, since it made the film more immersive and I took the characters for what they were. They were believeable enough, so Im not sure why people are creating charactures of them. The ending scene was also quite amusing/sad.
In general I find horror movies tedious and boring...but this wasnt strictly a horror movie. Reminds me of the Host to some degree, but this film was definitely superior. I felt spent when walking out of the theatre.
edit: heh, surprised seeing those scores for this and the Host. Host was agood solid movie, well shot, well acted, Solid in general. Not really great though in any respect. Especially compared to many other Korean films Ive checked. People should watch Save the Green Planet.... CRAAAZY film
check this trailer of it:

Saw this a 5th time. No one left until the scrolling credits started. Everyone was dead silent. I'm still surprised by that.

That looks like one of those awful ID4 figures Trendmasters made back in the day. I was really hoping for a nice figure but for $99.99 thats a big let down.

I haven't seen the movie nor do i care, but is that the main monster?

In toy form that thing reminds me of the hybrid offspring of Ripley and the Alien.

How could a flimsy flesh monster like that destroy whole buildings and get attacked non stop by aircrafts and all and still be fine?
That is so dumb.

How could this thing be from deep in the sea and be amphibious too?
It's gotten really stupid.

Wow, judgmental much? Photos in stark white with bright light and no other objects to give a sense of scale are meant to show off what the figure looks like in detail, not to look cool or menacing. Even the most nightmarish, unholy of creatures ever committed to film would look silly under such conditions.
Way to overreact.

I saw the movie.
The idea it came from under the sea, yet is amphibious, and that it can destroy WTC-like buildings with its limbs and endure numerous attacks from aircrafts and the military, makes this stupid.

Err, yes, because they could have taken the extra 10 minutes worth of effort to think of something more believable. Everything could have remained the same, but the monster itself makes no sense when you consider the kind of destruction it waged and the attacks it resisted.

So it wasn't as realistic as all those real monsters in the real world who really really are real?Ether_Snake said:

I don't like the figure, but the monster was cool in the movie. This seems too frail. The torso doesn't looks correct.

Why? Underwater fish/animals/creatures are under alot of pressure and have thick hides/shells/etc. I didn't see "wtc-like" building get knocked down, but I did see 20 and 30 story buildings going down.
