A camera shake-fest
21 November 2007
I'm sure most people won't find my comment to be of much value, but to those of you with any tendency toward motion sickness, please read on...

I cannot comment on the bulk of the content of this film, as I only saw a very few minutes of it. I'm afraid the shaking camera was almost enough to induce seizures, and was simply more than I was willing to bear. (Does anyone still think this type of camera-work adds to the cinematic value of a film?) I suppose some people still consider a shaking camera to be artistic in some way, but as for me, this poor camera work constantly reminds of two things:

1) that I'm watching a poorly filmed movie, with no chance of really getting into the story, and...

2) that I need to add Dramamine to my shopping list

Luckily, I borrowed this movie from the library, so I'm only out my gas money. Oddly, I still feel somewhat ripped off. (Must be those high gas prices...)
