Oh yeah, that is one hell of a camera they had. Seriously. It survived so much and has the most amazing battery life! I wish I had one  |
Those were the two "complaints" I had. The model-like complaint is valid, I think, just because the movie was going for a "real life" feel and they had only beautiful people in the movie. It took me out of it in the beginning, but only in the beginning.

The uber-camera complaint is is realistic but you need an uber-camera for the movie to even happen. I guess they could have mentioned bringing spare batteries or something for the party, but I don't think its a big deal.
Overall, I thought this was an excellent examination of terrorism with defnite overtones of 9/11 and what those victims might have felt like they were going through. Make a movie about 9/11, it bombs. Couch the same movie in the monster genre, and its safe and makes money.
One thing I did like were the two lines of dialogue before the attack and right before Rob and Beth died.
Before attack: "You need to forget everything else and focus on what really matters!"
Before death: "I love you" from both of them.
Sometimes it takes a tragedy for us the focus on what really matters...
