I'm assuming everyones seen the preview and it has stood out to them, if they have been to the cinemas in the past month of course.

Personally, I'm pretty excited. Although the majority of "gimmicky" films seem to get lost in the gimmick and end up being completely shit.

I'm sure alot of people find it exciting to imagine that they are actually in a disaster movie and they feel the adrenaline of being one of the survivors. I know I am like that after I see movies like 'Day after tomorrow' and 'Deep impact' so this could work.

I'm going to see it regardless of good or bad reviews.

New way of promoting of movies, no title no sound until the last week.
Pretty smart idea.
Abraham Moore is about 20 suspenseful if you dig lost.

Watched it today. A good movie no doubt, but not something I'd watch again. Special effects were great, though I felt it ended too soon. I don't know if that's me being selfish, but definitely more could have been explained. Overall, an enjoyable 80 minutes.

If you get queasy take motion sickness tablets before hand!
I didn't enjoy it that much because I thought I was going to vomit.
I didn't think it was worth the money. I got far too annoyed at some of the characters to even care if they died or not.

Probably.

I didn't like it. I would've been better as a proper movie with a good ending instead of that crap. And I hate that hand-cam thing. Motion sickness FTL. :(

i loved the camera work, it was really immersive especially during the chase scenes. it was nice seeing everything from a vague semifocused perspective so your imagination can do a bit of the work rather than being force fed every detail.

the acting was really great and the impending doom/apocalyptic feeling was really there, something you can hardly appreciate when watching some godzilla styled movie.

this might've been ok if i didn't want everyone in the film to die.

awesome that it only ran for 70 minutes tho.
