A few other problems: Yes, a hero or group of them

Posted by tinear on January 27, 2008 at 06:13:28:
should make one care about them, i.e. Blair Witch kids. A bunch of vain party kids with zero attempt to personalize them... I wanted them to die, miserably :-).
The camera: in Blair, there was a reason to document everything. In this? None, except to make a film.
Major problem: the girls all cried, hysterically, but the guys all were (in comparison) brave and composed. Right.
After being attacked in the tunnel, the guy in the lead marches around with no weapon. Guess he read ahead and knew he wouldn't be attacked for several more scenes?
Super chicks: in police films, we're used to cops taking massive hits and keepin' on tickin' but this isn't that genre. A girl has a long piece of REBAR penetrate from her back through her shoulder and then has it pulled out... and she puts a jacket on and carries on, even running? How about the one that gets gnawed on like a taco and also just keeps right on goin?'
And... what's with the exploding bit? Did it slip an IED into her?
Films are good because they create a believable film world unto themselves: this one didn't. The big creature seemed to be reptilian or amphibian whereas the small ones obviously were arachnid. Try and explain that...
Lastly, all the girls and boys pretty much visually were interchangeable, except for length of hair.
As I said, the FX were good, the most believable I've seen though the marauding big creature was a bit silly: at his pace, he would have laid waste to Manhattan in an hour or two.
