i really liked the movie. it was very exciting and suspenseful, and really sucked you in. it was just a great watch. it had my undivided attention the whole time. despite not developing the characters much, you still cared about them because they felt real. in fact, a lot of the movie felt real, by which i mean as real as a movie about a mutant monster attacking new york city can be. they also did a good job of balancing the story of the main group with some actual scenes of action and destruction. also, the lack of information, while disappointing, really added to the atmosphere of the movie which was basically "oh fuck, what the fuck is going on, i have to get the fuck away"
another monster movie survival tip:
if you're the fat and/or ugly guy of the group, you have to be funny
yep, that's pretty much the only reason you're there. if you're funny and entertaining, people will like you and you'll survive that much longer. you're going to die eventually anyway, though, so that your main character best friend can cry over you
