Saw it last night, I think the marketing was amamzing and that's where the hype came from. The movie is pretty intense, the camera is a little nauseating at times but I got pulled into the movie because it feels like you're right effing there. I dug it, the monster I don't think will live up to all the hype but if they showed you what the monster looked like no one would go see it, but the thing is brutal and the movie I think is really cool.
 
 But whatever, find out for yourself.

i remember seeing in the pocket. didnt get sick from the camera work, but something about that movie bothered me. i'd have to see it again to remember what that was though.

The onyl thing that really bugged me was the lack of anything explaining what the hell happened at the end, but I still really enjoyed it.

This is the beginning of the negative buzz...  Add one more movie to see on one dollar movie night, six months from now.

  Saw a screening last night.  It is not as bad as Snakes on a Plane, but still pretty weak.  Characters and dialogue are z-grade.  And yes, the camerawork is extremely shaky.  That is basically the only time the film works -- when it is loud and disorienting.  The monster looks like (SPOILER) a big CGI monster!  Also, there were tons of people trying to get in to the screening.  Unlike SOAP, this film is rated PG-13 and will probably make a ton of cash this weekend.  Will be quickly forgotten though.

could this possibly be living up to the hype?

looks like it... even the  tomato throwers are giving it a decent grade.   metacritic seems to be a bit more reserved, but it still comes out with a decent rating for a mindless sci-fi flick.
