i REALLY don't understand the hate

kanyecrs

when i saw the trailer of this movie i was very excited. obviously i didn't expect it to be real footage, and by the reviews i thought this movie wouldn't be worth it.

i was wrong.

after i watched the movie i came back to check some of the user reviews and was very displeased. the only thing i do agree with is this: the film would have been much more solid if it didn't take the paranormal activity approach and used found footage. a solid camera would have been much better. but what you don't realize is that if it wasn't for that theme of "found footage" the entire movie would be pointless.

first thing i heard " you don't care about the characters, just because it shows a family film of them at the start of the film doesn't make you care. " Now here is where i REALLY disagree. throughout the entire film i cared very much for both characters and the 3rd one. the ending was spectacular, the actors played their roles very well. i was quite sad and felt bad for them as soon it began. another thing i hear is the plot holes. common folks, its a movie. some reviewer said "even i would've handled situations better. " you're obviously missing something. without spoiling anything let me just say THEY'RE everywhere. if you were on the moon alone with a partner, and you go through what they went through, then i'm very confident that you would NOT react any better than they did. what you also have to understand is that soon the guy does become infected so he can't control it. this film was excellent, it wasn't scary but it was very solid to me. the ending is great, the cast is wonderful and there's absolutely nothing wrong with the SFX. some guy said it cost 1.25 to make it all. I disagree, something like this would cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars to replicate. Consider watching this, it's great.

score 9/10
