I enjoyed it. Unlike many others I've spoken with about it, I was glad it wasn't a classic sci-fi monster movie. That's been so overdone that this was refreshing.

The 9/11 correlation I could see, one of the early scenes definitely brought a flash on 9/11, but it's quickly replaced by another scene in the movie. The camera work was what you'd expect if you've ever watched anyone's home movies. I was petrified after all the talk about it but it didn't bother me in the least.

I cared about the characters we were supposed to care about. This is one of the few times where character development could not be or feel scripted. Based on the premise of the home video camera's unedited flow, I thought the writers did a top-notch job.
