Steve9347 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I don't know if I have anything against the marketing, I was just pointing it out. They've done a terrific job, and being a marketing professional myself, I love to see this kind of thing. From the original website to the tidbits of the "monster" they are showing, they are building it up correctly and I'll want to rent this badboy. Of course, by then all the secrets will be out and then it won't be nearly as cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R U Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Dude, you guys need to work on your internet searching skills.. I already read a review from the screening and I know what it looks like and etc. The dude said there is no mention of slusho in the movie. Highlight Here --> It is like an alien looking creature. Its gray in color. It has a long tail, and long front arms longer than the back legs. It has a human like head, the fangs hang out of the mouth over the lip like a bulldog. It has red pouch like things on the sides of its face. It has smaller arms on the chest. There are also smaller versions of the creature which are said to look like the bugs from Starship Troopers.

sox4lifeinPA Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Well, this should be an entertaining flick, nonetheless. Did anyone catch "Sunshine" in the theaters? We watched it on DVD last night and it was good, but not great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Idaho brought us Napolean Dynamite. If thats the case they have contributed way more than some other states. I wouldnt mind seeing Massachusetts get eaten by the Atlantic Ocean or something...at least the sports teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitetrain8601 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Just got back from 12 oclock show. One friend didn't like it at all, another friend gave it a 6(apparently he says thats good), and I give it a solid 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 Did it seem as short as the 1 hour 25 minutes was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 The movie was ok... I kind of hate what happened towards the very end. Also, the camera was bobbling way 2 much sometimes... definitely could have been perfectly fine without that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying that as a bad thing, but the movie seemed like the perfect length. I was just annoyed by this one girl and her boyfriend who was taking shots of whiskey in the bathroom and came back for the last 25 minutes and was just talking up a storm. The first 20 minutes are slow, but then after that, it's non-stop action. The movie ends abrupt, but that's a perfect ending since it's a first POV movie. As far as the camera bobbling, it had to happen. Either a camcorder or a tv news report with bobbling cameras was going to happen. It also makes you feel the effects more. There's comedic relief too. Also, you're going to have a ton of questions when you leave the movie too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't it cool guy is the closest, but he does kind of overhype it. It doesn't look at all like a Turtle to me and I don't remember Slusho being mentioned at all.

I don't think there will be a sequel IMHO. It loses its spice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
