I seriously doubt that anyone would get sick watching it on a smaller screen.

And the more I think about it, the more I liked the ambiguity in the movie:

Spoiler:

The chick that got bit -- what happened to her? Did they shoot her? Did she explode? Why?

What happened to Central Park afterwards? Did it get bombed? How did the camera survive? Did our main characters survive and did they just lose the camera under rubble?

What was the black thing plopping into the water in the Coney Island ending? A satellite that woke up the monster? The monster itself?

Etc. etc. I like how it makes you come up with your own theories.

One thing though that I thought was odd was how the monster, while ginormous, was always like RIGHT NEAR where our main characters were. I mean, Manhattan is small, but not THAT small.

My roommate said that if you plot out on a map the path of the creature and our main characters, they were just going in a straight line the whole time, but I dunno about that. It seemed too coincidental that they were constantly running into it.

Spoiler:

And while I liked that closeup payoff of the monster's face at the end, it seemed like the scale was off -- like it was MUCH smaller than it was at the beginning.

I really want to see that movie again....
