i was kinda let down by the movie..

it seemed to me like they didn't give you much info on the monster..or it's little offspring..

and there was no real closure at the end..

plus my wife pretty much go sick from teh camera work...

i don't know if i would see a sequel if they came out with one...i wasn't impressed with it for all the hype it got

thats what this movie has been all about from the start. theres also a bunch of other info on the web that gives more "info" on the movie and origin of the monster, so i think in order to better enjoy this movie, you gotta sorta research before.

well soon after me and my friends saw the trailer before Transformers, and were looking up stuff online and it got us really interested in the movie, and theres this site which gives as pretty good overview of everything you should know, you can even read it after you see the movie.

There just aren't very many open minded people out there man. Mental capacity is at a dangerous low for some.

I saw the movie over the weekend and I liked it for the most part. The first 10-15 minutes were really boring to me, but I guess they had to establish the characters somehow. Other than that it was a great movie that kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I really enjoyed how much they actually showed the monster. the only thing I wish they had done was explain a little bit about the monster. either way it was a great movie and I would give it an 8/10.

^yea...for me it wasn't one of those movies i was saying "man i can't wait to buy that on DVD"...

its possible the sequel will be the same event, but from a military perspective, so you see more of whats going on....since the first one topped the box office, im sure they will have more $$ to work with- which will net more special effects....

OR

The sequel will be what is going one after teh end of the movie...after the credits you hear "help us" or played backwards "its still alive" ..so its open to LOTS of things
