I despise Found Footage... but this gets a 7/10


Entertaining, engaging, thought provoking even.
Just had to get past the initial fluff to the meat of the tale. Very well done.

I am an unapologetic yet often disappointed found footage fan. Otherwise, I agree with your scoring and comments.

I suppose the initial stuff was necessary as part of their trip documentation, but it seemed out of place, slow, and almost unnecessary.

You needed the stuff in the beginning to support his character at the end. All that stuff is what made his decisions at the end make sense for who he is

I agree with you. I avoid found footage movies. This one was different enough to hold my attention thru out. I really liked it.

I agree 100%, except in regards to the beginning of the film. The beginning is really vital for fleshing out the story and it didn't drag at all. This movie moved at a pretty solid pace.

Still Shooting With Film!
