I enjoyed this film. The casting and acting was pretty good, though the whole earth story arc around Michael was disconnected and felt like it was tacked on to try and link some other plot items together (though I thought his acting was good). The whole Cloverfield thing passed me by, and watching this stand alone I thought the last few seconds of the movie were just utterly silly, but I understand now why it was "shoehorned" in. Jensen's character seemed really "thin", and her motivations seemed pretty obvious right from her introduction into the story line. Her "twist" wasn't really very much of a twist at all. However, none of this should take away that it was a fun, stand-alone sci-fi watch. On a final note, it seems a bit of a shame that there are a great many reviews for this film on IMDB that suggest that anyone who doesn't like this film is stupid or a troll. Movies are art, art is subjective. Just because someone has a different view from you doesn't make them dumb. If everyone thought the same, what would be the point of ratings, the point of reviews?

The trailer was interesting. I kept waiting for something to make sense... and it never did. I do not understand how this was ever deemed view-able. It's really sad, because there are some good actors involved. This is seriously worse than something like "Serial-Apeist" from Big Bang Theory, because it'pretends to be serious!If this could be spoiled, the next line would do it. It can't, I marked no Spoilers.They finally find a "Normal" dimension and are suddenly smashed by a Godzilla? as the land. WTF?

Given a free night to watch the first film on my own since I was unemployed for a while, I recalled the one I could not in all good conscience have removed from my watchlist. The reason being that I had left my wife to watch it to the end while I, in drunken stupour, slept from maybe 15 minutes in. 30 minutes in on my second viewing, I now admire my post reemployment euphoria induced inebriation judgement. If I am pleasantly surprised at a later juncture, I am not above admitting I was wrong.

Cheesy expository dialogue and a chemistry-less cast of characters get things off to a rough start, but it sort of morphed into an enjoyably campy sci-fi romp with an appreciably eclectic cast when there was just a bunch of super weird/gross things happening ("What are you talking about, arm?"). But before long, uber-serious and unintelligible science-y plot-speak, bland character drama, and a distant-in-every-way side plot on earth take over and ruin the film's chances of being decent.5.5/10
