I had a hard time enjoying this movie. I started getting motion sick about 20 minutes into it and couldn't shake it. I had to look away from the screen most of the time, only looking back during the more important parts.

It's pretty sad really. Film is a very visual medium but I could only listen to most of it. And from what I could see in my peripheral vision it didn't look like I was missing much. The story was great. I loved the monster. Everything looked so very real. But the fact that I couldn't watch it ruined the experience.

I'm wishing now that I had waited for it to come out on DVD so I could watch it on a smaller screen. And if that still made me sick I could turn it off and come back to it later when I was feeling better.

Didn't toss my cookies, but I did feel very woozy when I left the theater and it took me about an hour before I was feeling fine again.
