I like the movie but that girl can't act!


I liked the movie even though some people don't. The creatures were kind of weird but scary and made me jump a few times. The back of the DvD said that John Abrams was a main character, if thats so then how come he died in the first like five minutes? And one other thing I didn't like is the main actess. She couldn't have been any less realistic, and is it just me or did she have an adams apple? Anyways, the movie was good. And I love the ending! It couldn't have been anymore perfect or funnier as an ending. It was just awsome. What do you guys think about the main actress or the ending? Reply back soon!

Yeah, I agree. Laura Regan was very irritating with her fake-looking screaming. The only thing that I remember about this movie was that Laura had one heck of a long neck, and yes...she did indeed have quite a large Adam's apple - especially when she's trying to make herself vomit in the subway.

reply

Didn't notice the Adam's Apple (I'll have another look). I thought she was just bland as hell. She elicited no sympathy from the audience and therefore I really didn't care when she got attacked by They in the end.

UPDATE I watched the movie again and I think the reason her Adam's Apple is so pronounced is because she's so skinny. She must have very little fat on her body.

this movie was horrible. id rather be taking a dump than watch it again

reply

Well, taking a dump is a good thing, but this movie is great. I don't understand peoples resentment of this movie. The acting was bad, but this movie made perfect sense to me, was pretty frighening, and had a great ending.

reply

hah, I feel the same way

reply

I love Laura Regan! After "They" I actually look for her films!

reply

The movie was bad, boring and the creatures were soo fake looking. Laura Regan gave a horrible performance, she really need some lessons.

reply

People are allowed to have opinions. Just because you don't like what someone wrote doesn't make it hate speech. Someone as illiterate as you, really shouldn't be policing the internet for hate speech!

reply

well exact spel+gramar dnt mtr u know...... well i just h8 peeps who would h8 on any 1 ok nobody shoud h8 ever........

reply

Just the fact you cannot spell or even write a complete sentence makes me wonder how old you are or if you don't get out of the house very much. You are basically saying that this person who wrote the comment is going to go to jail because they are saying how they didn't like the movie or actress but you yourself cannot communicate very well at all. Short forms incomplete sentences please learn english before coming onto a message board. My god. You are murdering the english language. Are you a texter or something? I just don't know if you even know what you are doing. And you seem a little bit like you don't know about the world or the internet. The internet is full of people bashing things...

Game Over!

pannala537,
Can't you tell when some moron is trying to be funny and is pulling your leg. Ignore the fool, and like all mindless game playing idiots he will go away.

reply

Yes,Laura Regan was terrible. It's imperative that a character
maintains the empathy of the audience,but with half an hour to go
I was hoping they would get her immediately so I didn't have to watch
her any more.

reply

I actually thought Laura Reagan did a fine job. I've seen much worse.

I thought she was a good actress, did a good job with a lot of the freak-out scenes, but I still didn't really like her. Didn't find her... compelling, I guess. Though I don't know if my lack of interest in what happened to her character was more to blame on the actress or the writing.

reply

When she screamed it looked like she was fighting not to laugh. Yeah, the film was bad, but if you are a lead that's not going to take it seriously, it makes the film itself even worse.

It's like death eatin' a cracker.

reply

Sh!t actress, but easy on the eyes nevertheless. Her rear-end looked pretty secksy during her vomit scene and the post-sex side-boob was much appreciated as well.

reply

She wasn't that bad. Especially for this genre.

I've seen a lot of other low budget horror/sci-fi movies and shes Meryl Streep compared to a lot of the actresses in those.

reply

That's what I thought. Her acting was okay. Probably some people don't like her character, or her looks, whatever.

However I thought all male characters were overdone, more like caricatures. The perfect boyfriend was just too supernice, like a nurse. Billy plus the artist guy were almost the same character.

Dagmara Dominczyk however made the best of the little screen time she had.

reply

The girl and the dude who played her b/f couldn't act very good.Do to the fact they had no chemistry .Felt like i was watching two acting students in class on their first day of scene study.

My mother would show up on time and know all her lines but who wants to pay to see my mother?
