    Just saw this, it was pretty solid, best movie ive seen in 12. Been hitting the movies pretty often.

    Spoiler* the only part that didnt fit was when he said hes.the apex and then attacks his.cousin, doesnt really fit with how he desribed.not feeling bad about squashing bugs, overall 3 outta 4 for me

    thought the preview was awesome and I don't care much for superhero movies. This is great news.

    In the first scene I was praying that it wouldn't be shot from the "camera" - sfannoying, the Blair Witch / Cloverfield style of film making needs to be retired.

    Other than that I enjoyed the film

    I enjoyed it quite a bit.

    But just like a horror movie the *blank* has to die first.

    It's because they established early on how the camera could be stand-alone at any time.

    Also, it's always a clean vantage point and it has none of those shitty quick edits to try and add speed to the scene. People who compare it to cloverfield/blair witch/etc were just being lazy reviewers.
