What We Have Learned By Watching This Movie ... ( WITH SPOILERS )


-- 1.) The character Tricia was most aggravating , obnoxious , quite nosy , & a total drama brat . -- 2.) Most of the characters were loud , annoying , and unhelpful to one another at certain important times . -- 3.) The flight attendant Lois was practically the only one staying calm in the whole situation before she was attacked and passed on . -- 4.) If you hear " weird snarling sounds " or " frightful screams " from somewhat far off the very last thing you will want to do is to start calling out to it . -- 5.) The creature seemed quite stealthy for it to have reached the plane wreckage and hide in it without any one noticing ) . -- 6.) That even though the plane crashed the loose video camera remained intact without any damage to it . -- 7.) This movie is a definite cross between - Blair Witch Project , LOST ( TV Show - somewhat ) , and Jurassic Park . ---- Please continue ...

8) If you are in a house with a creature outside, the best plan is to go outside & run for it. 9) If you are in a second house with a creature outside, the best plan is again to go outside & run for it. 10) If you in a car with a creature outside & just need to keep driving down the road, the best plan is to park the car & discuss what to do. 11) If you are in a car with a creature outside & just need to keep driving down the road, the best plan is to have someone jump out of the car & run in a different direction to distract the creature.

12) If you are hiding from the creatures in the dark, waiting in an abandoned house to pass the night... it's a totally a good idea to attract the lurking creatures with those camera lights and flashlights.

13) Lights and flashlights may flicker, but the batteries lasts forever.

14) It's good to stay bloody all the time, and not at least try to wipe some of the blood off.

15) In the first abandoned house you run into, you see outside through the door there is a pitch black darkness but through some of the windows there is like morning light shining in, in the middle of the night, it's called magic :)

16) You enter the second abandoned bulding and you find a phone and a radio, and you totally expect them to work because someone should totally pay the phone and electricity bills for an abandoned house... But against all odds the radio from WW1 still works, magic again? Or everlasting batteries?

17) You got lucky and find a jeep, it is your precious way out of hell, you are even so lucky that the keys are left inside. But then you start it you should go driving recklessly like complete idiot and crashing the jeep atleast twice.

18) And also make sure you run over one of the survivors with your jeep. Especially if the surviuvor just happen to appear out of nowhere to stand there on the road a just a second before you knock her down. After all she was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

19) Almost all the time during the sequence in the jeep the camera was focused on the survivors in the back seat I mean all the time! Like the someone was doing an interview with them or filming the driver like is making an interview with the driver, so annoying...

20)Also we see a lot of driver's shoulders, but we cannot see where the jeep is going. That is some serious shi*ty camera direction. Also the jeep seems to have it's headlights set at the lowest level, so we can see more darkness...
And when they are on foot we see the ground most of the time, the ground and the darkness, very entertaining isn't it?

21) When you're trying to remain hidden in the jeep whilst the creature make circles around it god forbid to turn off the light for a second, and just keep filiming the pasenger and back seats, so the viewer can miss all the action going on.

22) After that secene the you totally want to run out from jeep like an idiot and for no reason, because you think you are a sitting duck in there, yeah what a great reason to die. Meanwhile you as the driver, after apparently crashing into the creature (but we couldnt see it because of the shi*ty camera managing) do not even try to start the jeep again, and the crazy guy was already out and running like an idiot for no reason, as I said.

23) OK, that's got to be the stupidest moment in this movie... I mean before the guy runs out he even says to the driver "I'm going to run to see how far I can get" (sounds like a suicide mission) "you try to start the engine if you can", and then he goes running whithout having the driver even try to start the engine first, unbelievable and then even the the driver goes also out running to get the guy back... so now there are both of them in danger for no friggin reason!! Seconds after, the big sister sits in the driving seat and voila`, the engine starts perfectly at first try!!!

What moron thought of such a script is beyond my comprehension, this is like the epitome of stupidity.

24) After crashing the jeep for the third time probably because you didn't even see where you were going, you instinctively decide to abandon the jeep for no reason and run into the darkness, becasue you are probably faster on foot, and the jeep wasn't worth to even try to start the engine once again, anyway...

25) I knew that guy from the area in the car wasn't to be trusted, so I've seen the twist coming, but I thought it would bring them to some place like interrogation chamber...so it surprised how and when it happened, and that was the best part of the movie IMO :D

26) The movie should have ended with the area guy picking up the camera and confiscating the tape The end. But no.
Instead they wanted to show us some really *beep* computer graphics of a T-rex in broad daylight chopping the head of the man. That was utterly unnecessary and killed the little mistery left in my opinion. Not to mention the fact that they didn't want to show us the creature when there was dark, for most of the time, which made most of those scenes in the dark quite annoying.

In conclusion, this movie could have been good, based on the premise of the story and it's mistery alone, but it just wasn't.

28. If you're an Evil Government Operative and you want to silence trespassers who know too much, lure them into your car with friendly smalltalk so you can splatter their brains all over the inside, because it's fun to drive around in a car like that.

29. Dinosaurs are silent and invisible when a camera isn't pointed at them.
