I went with my fiance yesterday to see this and she left the theater 25 mins into the film and threw up for 5 mins in the bathroom.

She had cold sweats, dizziness, pins and needles, and was flushed. She came back looking like she had been on a bad cruise for days.

I asked if she wanted to leave and she said she would just look away at the really shaky parts.

I have really bad vestibular problems myself and can not handle these kinds of movies either but I have learned with the YouTube style of seizure editing to handle it by how I sit and massaging my neck as well.

Reminded me of when I got really nauseated from watching Blair Witch Project the weekend that came out.

As for the movie? On a scale of 1-10 I give it a 5.8.

Thanks for the warning, I think we will skip this one in the theater. I have no wish to toss my cookies in public.

I saw signs posted at the theatre this past weekend when I was there. They were warning people about the filming techniques. I guess they were tired of giving refunds?

I think I will wait until it comes out on DVD to watch it, and besides it is unreal what they are charging for movies these days....$10.00 is a bit much to me and where I live, there’s not a cheap theatre anywhere near us...

I heard that this movie is like drinking 9 beers and then getting on a roller coaster for like two hours. Well then, I’m seeing the movie Saturday afternoon and I’m drinking a six-pack before I go.

TV shows are also over using the split second editing, switching from scene to scene. I just change the channel.

My son went with some friends and one of his friends had to leave the theater to throw up. They’re saying if you must see it, and are prone to motion sickness, take a Dramamine before you go. (wouldn’t work for me, I’d be asleep through the movie.)

I have no problems with motion sickness, but the 25 minutes of the yuppie soap opera at the beginning had me impatiently waiting for their deaths. If that party had gone on any longer I would have begun actively rooting for the monster.

My daughter and I sat at the rear of the theater so the impact of the filming would be reduced upon our senses. I thought the movie rather unique in concept aka Blair Witch Project but rather like seeing Godzilla with a hand held camera. It was mildly entertaining and there were a good many open ended unexplained parts of the movie but are inherent in this concept..possibly the screen writing could have been more concise and explanatory (like what happened when the girl exploded, where the monster came from, like what were the little ones, how many little ones were there...etc..). I did doze off in the early part of the movie....but weathered the movie just fine and so did my little girl....I give it a 7......A "C" grade....

I heard the filmmakers talking about this on the radio today.

I'm probably one of them that wouldn't be able to sit through it in a theater. I can't even look at a map in a moving car without getting nauseated.

Mr. C4E and I went to see Blair Witch...I had to go to the lobby and sit for a minute and then went back to the movie only to stand in the side isle. I too had motion sickness and besides that Blair Witch was not that scary.

I can see that happening....so sorry !

I took the wife to a LA philharmonic symphony once and the violins were dragging in sort of a peculiar way , sort of nauseating and she got sick. It was a little nauseating to me too...

I guess from reading comments so far that this is not a good date movie?

You just ensured I’ll wait for the video, thanks.

How did you like Blair Witch btw?

Yikes! I am extremely sensitive to motion in odd environments, and I did want to see this movie. I guess I won’t.
