The early trailers weren't very persuasive, but it's being well received at Rotten Tomatoes. (89% as of right now)
Ebert even said "Sometimes a movie arrives out of the blue that announces the arrival of considerable new talents."

I was finna catch a matinee of this tomorrow, but it's only playing in XD, and I'm not paying $14 for that shit.

I'm assuming Wallace was his characters name in Red Tails?

saw this last night. kind of mixed about it. some pretty cool stuff going on in it but overall this could have, and should have, been executed so much better. the acting and dialogue are pretty terrible save for a few parts from the one kid. towards the end it gets kickin though. also could have desperately used some tits.

Crazy talk like this could end our friendship, bro.
This movie wasn't about Wallace, but it should have been.
Probably my favorite "found footage film" next to Cloverfield.
Still don't understand the need for the found footage aspect though.
Who besides Gentle Jones and Mindbender need to document everything in their lives?

I actually liked this shitty movie. it was a really fun 'wouldn't it be neat if this happened to me?' movie. it was like a really good version of that Bradley cooper limitless shit

yeah, it should've been rated r though and had that kid merking mad cops

this wasn't good. at all. I had high hopes for a decent movie. the best part is the last 15 minutes which seems like a rushed ending of "akira" I wanted to yell Tetsuooooooooo but I didnt want to embarass my friends..

This movie was MUCH better than it had any right to be. I was entertained the whole way and the effects were pretty cool. I mean, it certainly had it's flaws but i was expecting it to be terrible. A pleasant surprise.

IIRC Project X a found footage thing too.

Both of these flicks were better than they had any right to be. Totally entertaining enough diversions.

They ape superbad shamelessly, but it's definitely and entertaining movie and a one-of-a-kind experience

the party atmosphere was so palpable that there were many people talking and making jokes within earshot and it wasn't even annoying. it was literally a party-movie
