Without giving much away, my biggest problem with the movie is that there are so many hidden clues you're supposed to watch out for; even before seeing the movie with all the secret web sites attached to the movie. And that's fine for LOST, where you can DVR the show, watch it online the next day, catch the next episode the following week, and put the pieces together. For a movie, that's just too much work in my opinion.

Overall I wasn't impressed

I've heard Juno is really good. Anyone see that?

Pretty hard when you're doing a lot of running. Even though it's a movie, if there was some alien thing terrorizing the city my first concern isn't gonna be, "Oh hey, lemme back pedal so I get get a steadier shot"
