This film was very witty, cleverly written and almost delivered masterfully. Screenwriter, Drew Goddard shows his talent with this awesome script. The action and thrills from the alien creatures was fierce and totally captivating. I was squeezing my arm rest on my chair until my hands hurt.

The intense journey to get to the other side of Manhattan was for love. The alien creatures and the demolished city’s obstacles that this group of friends had to endure to get there was storytelling at its best.

The cast, Mike Vogel, Lizzy Caplan, Michael Stahl-David, Odette Yustman and Jessica Lucas all delivered solid performances and gave this scary film its artistic shock and all. Director, Matt Reeves missed a little on this one.

Fat Cat Randy says, “Dude, hand held cameras show intense footage, but using it through out the entire movie took away from your awesome action sci-fi flick!”

This film grossed $80 million domestically and $166 million worldwide on a $25 million budget. The film made money but where was the music? With such creativity and talent, why no music? This film would have grossed between $100-125 million domestically if it had, (MoJo) baby. This film needed Music, Music, still camera footage and Music Baby. I rated this movie an 8/10 and would have been higher if there was Mojo.


Fat Cat Randy says, “Must see it Baby”
