A movie with great effects, sheer catastrophy panic and shakycam.
In the heart of Manhattan, a surprise party is held, in honor of a guy named Rob, because he just recently got promoted to a vice president and is going to travel to Japan shortly. Things take a big twist and a mysterious force starts to shake the whole city. It's now a struggle to escape, a struggle to live. While the movie offers a plethora of stunning effects, it lacks some substance and realism though. The main characters have a bit soft lines considering what they wittness - in a life or death situation I would drop a few f-bombs myself. Some of their actions are unconvincing or foolhardy but it's not too bad. There's no significant background for the incident that hits Manhattan, which might be sort of realistic for a shakycam movie even if it's lacking in storytelling. All in all pretty enjoyable movie the first time through.
I'll give this movie an O.K. rating of 7-/10.
