- A found footage film where we see it
live... not found.
I should explain the subheading first.
The entire movie is seen through multiple cameras all of which are
cameras being held by people within the movie or security cameras or
the like. Almost every camera is fully explained within the confines
of the movie so it's like the viewer is in the movie. I vomit in the
general direction of that idea. Blair Witch did it fine insomuch as
it was the first time that kind of thing was done and was financially
successful. Since then all attempts at the genre of “found footage”
has basically killed my will to live. I didn't know this would be a
shaky camera experience prior to movie start, had I, I might not have
sat down to watch it. I lie, I was always going to give it a whirl.
I give things too many chances to impress me and this was no
different. I mean, Max Landis of the YouTube hit “The Death and Return of Superman” wrote it. While I didn't really get a kick out
of that video because I knew most of the information, it was probably
the most concise and humorous video explaining what in the world
happened during that Superman arc. For that I must give him more
writing credit than most of the writers of big comic publishers.
