You are probably right, but god I thought it was horrible the first couple of times I watched it. It's grown on me over the years though. But there are still so many scenes that make me cringe.


Is b:la a first person movie? I read on here that it was like watching a video game and my brother just said he thought it was filmed as a first person shooter. Like cloverfield. Any truth to that? If so I might wait to see it. Thoughs movies bug the shite out of me.

No substanstive (if any) first person elements ala cloverfield

The "video game aspect" is from the fact that the modern military platoon setting/jargon can be reminiscent of games like MW2

It's not a big enough deal for all the people bringing it up. And I don't know why it's negative anyway.

Hell, a big budget movie sequence of the massive Russian invasion of the DC area would be epic.

I don't mind getting nothing but good action and special effects out of a movie...

I actually loved the way that Cloverfield was shot, but it seems that people either love it or hate it ... i liked it because it made you feel closer to what was going on in the movie ... especially when they were running next to the national guard with the bazookas ... not to mention that the guy with the camera was a total deuche and had me laughing the entire movie

this is where they went with it, and the visual direction suffered

the whole close up shaky cam bullshite has ruined a lot of action scenes in the past 10 years

this movie really made me appreciate what ridley scott did visually in black hawk down
