Oh, it was really horrible. First of all, the first 15 -20 minutes of the stupid movie is all about these dumb kids at a party talking about who is sleeping with who. Then they are in a life or death situation where every moment counts and there’s limited time to get away from the godzilla thing and what do they do? They break into a radio shack to steal a spare battery for a cell phone! That’s it. The females are running for their lives in party dresses and high heels and nothing else. And they are worried about cell phone batteries. People are dying right and left and buildings are falling down and they take the time to steal a spare cellphone battery. Never mind real clothes, food, weapons, fuel, or flashlights. Just get a cell phone battery. And forget about transportation. Just run down the street in high heels.
Then, this giant creature(a cross between a bat and king kong) is shedding fleas or something. Creatures like crabs that are the size of cocker spaniels. One bite from one of these things and you die. THe army is shooting rockets, and sending in f16s loaded with massive bombs to kill the king kong bat and they have no effect. A creature made of flesh and blood is impervious to tanks and rockets. What a crock.
Near the end, the main girl and guy are filming the last moments of their lives. The only thing the girl has to say to the camera while bawling uncontrollably in her party dress and high heels is: “I just don’t know why this is happening to me”. I couldn’t help it. At That point I said loudly “give me a f ing break, what a stupid movie”.
The annoying part was that it was all about a guy searching for a way to get to a girl who wasn’t even his girlfriend. HOW ABOUT THE THING THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN IS ATTACKING AND KILLING AND SPAWNING OFFSPRING ALL OVER NEW YORK CITY?
WTF?
This idiot spent the entire film moping around and crying that he couldn’t get to this friend.
Yet, didn’t shed a tear about his brother getting killed in front of his eyes.
You must have been watching a different movie. In the scene to which you refer, the Beth character is clearly shown to be wearing ordinary white pajamas, not a party dress. The actress who played Beth (Odette Yustman) did wear an (extremely short) party dress during the opening scenes — and looked quite good in it, I might add.
I have to take issue with some of this post.
If a giant monster thing started attacking a city, not many people would say I’m going to go home and change my clothes before I flee.
If your cell phone died while the love of your life was begging for help, wouldn’t you steal another battery to find out if she’s still alive?
Why would they look for weapons? They’ve just seen that tanks and M-16’s aren’t doing any good, they kniow they aren’t going to take the moster out with a baseball bat.
They just wanted to get their friend and get out. That was all.
