It's actually one of the best "superhero" movies that has been made. It's also a great high school flick. Definitely worth seeing.

It's a cool movie but Max Landis is :goonsay: incarnate and only got the job because of his dad's connections and it sucks that Josh Trank doesn't get any credit despite directing and co-writing it.

It's actually pretty good at the "found footage" part, it feels like part of the story, without being too gimmicky.

i think this is the reason why people who hate it do, because they know its cool to not like found footage i guess

i dunno i think found footage is kinda cool its just people are not experimenting enough with it, but chronicle did with interesting ways like the whole floating the camera trick

It was still good, only problem I had with the ending was the found footage gimmick becoming way too forced with all the chaos. Could've dropped it at that point and no one would've noticed.

Yeah, the found footage thing loses its muster when it switches from being someone's portable camera to like, a random police car's dashboard cam.

It was better than it had any right to be. It's entirely watchable if you can deal with the conceit of the entire movie being mostly filmed by a psychotic angsty baby of a teenager.

it is also one of the very very few "found footage" movies that actually makes any sense as to why somebody is filming some insane poo poo going on

Also this movie was groundbreaking because it's about a mostly white cast but the popular dude is BLACK

he still dies first though lol

i didn't think the found footage thing at the end was that forced since andrew had developed a bit of a weird fixation on filming everything due to being a self pitying homo

it also makes some kind of sense that the footage was spliced together since it could be read as being made for viewing by someone in the government or whatever who seemed interested in the area where they found that crystal thing

this is some pretty nerdy sperging here but i liked the film quite a lot and thought the fight scene at the end was really well done and yeah that part was a lot like akira except the bad guy doesn't turn into a huge mound of lard
