I'm so glad the original file on Rob's server for this film was corrupted. I think I would have thrown up if I had to watch it straight through. Instead, the only copy I could get to open turned out to be the Rifftrax version. It was way more palatable.At a going-away party for their friend Rob (Michael Stahl-David), a group of whiny self-centered twentysomethings witness an attack on New York City from some sort of gigantic creature. Rob decides to avoid safety and try to find some girl he slept with once (Odette Yustman) which involves a lot of running and shaking of the camera.
This is a dumb movie with shitty dialogue and a terrible gimmick. Shaky-cam is one of the worst inventions since Crystal Pepsi and just as nauseating. Super 8 is basically the exact same movie but less annoying and better made.
The Rifftrax crew did their best but not even their combined talents could make this any more than just tolerable.
