So, P.S., this movie SUUUUUUUCKED.
The cinematography distracted me the whole time, and I thought that whatsisface forgetting about his brother so quickly seemed really unrealistic. The characters seemed incredibly fake. I mean, at first I was getting into it. I was a bit annoyed with the filming, but I got over it, because at first the characterization was really good and it was engaging. Right up until he was like, "Well, forget my brother. Let's go save my maybe-ex-girlfriend." And also, when he was telling his mom about his brother, I tried to give a shit, but I kept getting distracted by how he said, "Jason's dead." It was just so soap opera-esque.
I thought the film was a let down. The whole point of going to see that movie was to find out the who, what, why, when, and where. They covered who, when, and where well enough, but the what and the why were completely ignored. And they could have really gone somewhere with the 'monster bites' thing, but they just dropped it. They took it nowhere. By the end of the movie you just forget that there was a character named Malena.
Too many loose ends for not enough plot. I do agree, though, that the way it was filmed helped to add intimacy with the characters and intensity to the situation. But after a while it just got really annoying!
I just thought it had so much potential and it didn't live up to it.
In short, EPIC FUCKING FAIL.
