    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Lizzy Caplan thought this was a romantic movie until her second audition, where she read a scene. After she was offered the role, she found out it was a monster movie, and the actors weren't allowed to read the script until after they signed on.
    • Goofs
      During the first attack when everyone runs outside of the apartment building, Lily can briefly be seen wearing white sneakers even though she has high heels on during the rest of the film.
    • Quotes

      Hud: Ocean is big, dude. All I'm saying is a couple of years ago, they found a fish in Madagascar that they thought been extinct for centuries.

      Rob Hawkins: So what? It's been down there this whole time, and nobody noticed?

      Hud: Sure. Maybe it erupted from an ocean trench, you know? Or a crevasse. Crevice. It's just a theory. I mean, for all we know, it's from another planet and it flew here.

      Marlena Diamond: Like Superman?

      Hud: Yeah, exactly like... Wait. You know who Superman is?

      Marlena Diamond: Oh, my God. You know who Superman is?

      Hud: Okay, I'm not...

      Marlena Diamond: [sarcastically] I'm, like, feeling something. Are you aware of Garfield.

    • Crazy credits
      At the end of the closing credits there is a garbled radio transmission which some say sounds like "Help us!", when played backward it says "It's still alive!"

    Overall not bad but I found it unsatisfying and annoying to watch

    I agree with most of the comments I read, in that this film is definitely worth watching, BUT thought I'd mention a few things that others didn't.

    The lack of a steady camera shot, even though it fits well with the plot, began to wear on me. I found myself relieved whenever the camera fell to the ground and gave the same view for a few seconds. It felt like I had on the wrong glasses - I was constantly trying to bring the scenes into focus and the continual motion, coupled with the random focus and quick glimpses of things I wanted to see clearly, made me feel stressed, strained and then annoyed.

    Add to that the ending, which leaves so many issues dangling, and, overall, I found it very unsatisfactory.

    Despite that I still gave it a 6. If you can handle triple rides on a roller-coaster then you'll probably really enjoy this film. If you get motion sickness easily then you may want to pause it every 10 minutes and focus on the wall!
