Nice effects though.

i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Saw this movie finally after seeing one of the Producers talk at an event - boy did Scott E Weinberg talk up a turd! This is one of the worst movies out there but plays out like a guy learning how to use his camcorder. Mr. Weinberg took most of the credit for this film saying he basically directed it too, that the director was always too high to direct. And it shows! Avoid like the plague.

I saw the 2D version but any film must be told by the story, not the 3D gimmick.The cast is fine, the acting is fine. The problem is there is really no script. While everyone talks about making a GREAT FF film, they have no original idea. The script/story takes place in a cabin. Um, what? They think filming in 3D will make all the difference...but there is ZERO effort on their part to use the silly 3D gimmicks. You never hear or see them trying to make 3D scenes; throwing or poking stuff at the camera. It's so odd because that would have been fun/funny to see.Instead, there is some bad, splotchy CGI of a black ink stain wandering around. There is no backstory every given about this particular haunted cabin other than a guy killed his wife and left the body in the lake...or was that in the script? Regardless, it's never mentioned again, no watery ghost, etc.So we're left with them shooting scenes from a movie that has no plot we're able to follow, accidents happen that...are not explained or talked about much. Why does a shovel fall on a cast member? Why does one women get bloody scratch marks on her arm? Why do they go out drinking at a bar and when they return home and find some things "wrong" in the cabin? These are ll tropes used in FF films--and basic horror films--so it's clear they didn't even TRY to shake things up. The climax also is just what we expect, running in the woods in the dark, a final lunge at the camera by the monster.Because the acting is fine, I was engaged the first 40 mins but then sensed that was it; the premise was set up but they weren't going to do anything but make the same old same old FF film. Which is fine--I like them, but if you're going to boast about making some new and different, that deliver. Or at least try to. Beginning with the title.

FOUND FOOTAGE 3D is among the best 3D movies ever made. Granted, aside from Avatar, Beowulf (ugh) and Gravity, there aren't a lot of adult or mature 3D movies that have been made that are worth watching. That being said, I think that Jackass: 3D was the first movie to truly utilize the "interactive" properties of filming a movie in 3D. And that's actually what brings me to praise this movie as much as I am. There's an inherent problem with found footage movies. That is, "why the hell is the camera still on?" This movie answers the age-old question from the get-go; we're making a fake movie. With this fact in mind, everything falls directly into place. The performances are spot-on with regards how the film has presented itself. When they're "rolling," they're in character. We hear the self-indulgent director/producer/actor in the film call "cut" and the scene changes on a dime. We get this verité-esque feel to each scene. The tension slips in under the cloak of comedy in a very Mitchell Hurwitz-ian way, making us look one way while there's a bear trap being baited right behind us. In a stroke of editing genius, everything comes to a head and then falls apart in the blink of an eye. Mimicking both reality and story structure that would cause Villeneuve to applaud at the least, The crux of the film and the film's ending (which is quite satisfying) project onto the audience the incessant question: "why the hell is the camera still on!?" The director justifies this beautifully, making the camera a needed part of the story. Somehow, this movie makes the very camera on which it was filmed, nearly a character in-and-of itself. Very, very clever. a refreshing and much needed revival to some seriously cool technology.

There are some good found footage films. I'm a fan of sci-fi/horror's like Chronicle, Cloverfield, Troll Hunter, Grave Encounters and Rec. And now, I have to add FF3D to that list. When I was offered to go see the premiere in Chicago, I jumped at the chance. The movie was well paced and the acting was on point. The characters were well developed where you had intimate moments, humor and drama. I can't say enough about the 3D. It was very well done, the layers go deep and that really added to the minds psyche. Another thing was that the 3D wasn't in your face, they didn't force it. You didn't have objects poking at you for thrills which I liked. It felt very natural, like you were in the environment, experiencing the events with the characters. This movie definitely needs to get picked up, audiences around the globe would love this new take on found footage!
