Glad to see the movie did great this weekend. The viral stuff was insanely cool and kudos to Abrams and staff to pull it off so well.
The movie was a fantastic way to kick off the new year. Shooting the film from the point of view from the average joe's while a huge monster attacks was brilliant.
Granted, the two ideas of shaky cam and monster movies are nothing grand breaking alone using them together sure is.
The great thing about the movie is theres still so much mystery around it. From the viral stuff to a few select parts in the movie where there might be more then one big monster.
The ending was also really trippy too. I caught it while walking out and had to look it up because it sounded like static and nothing more.
I can only hope that if there's a sequel, they shoot it the same way just later during the attack. Oh and if they could explain the viral stuff, that would be great.
