I just turned back after seeing two lines of people waiting for just one screening, and I arrived 45 minutes early too! 
Well, really it doesn't matter to me. I smoked up right before entering which had me smooth sailing. I don't have to see this movie. Maybe I'll watch it online at some point.
Good luck finding seats!

If the theatre seems packed at 10:10, then I'll watch it sunday.

Fuck that movie. It's supposed to be terrible.
If you do end up seeing it, load up on dramamine so you don't blow chunks because of the shitty camera work.

Though I'd much rather hear it from someone who's seen the film before I decide whether I go or not...

Do not see this movie on a full stomach!
I just got back from seeing it and there was probably 5-7 people who got up left, hurrying as fast as they could. The majority of the people in the audience got some sort of motion sickness. The lady to the right of me didnt even see the movie. She had one hand over her mouth and one hand over her eyes.
As for the movie, I loved it. There are some legitimate "holy shit, that was unbelievable" moments. The terrible camerawork does get tedious after awhile though. I think that a lot of people were not expecting it. I was, so I didn't get that sick.

So is the camera work reminiscent of "The Blair Witch Project"? A lot of people complained about that one also but it didn't bother me.
Anyway, I haven't been in a theater in 2 1/2 years and I won't be starting again for this one.

the review in the paper this morning said that it was a cross between godzilla and the blair witch project. the BWP reference is enough to make me not want to see it.

The camera was done that way intentionally. The movie was supposed to be a government recovered video shot by an amateur. It didn't bother me, but I don't get motion sick. The two people I went with complained about the camera making them very ill. The monster looks like...
***SPOILER***
An ape/praying mantis. Approximately 150 feet tall. Shorter or taller in some shots.

I work at a theater, and people do complain about the camera. One guy even refunded his ticket because he said the movie was giving him a headache. I've only seen parts of it from doing theater checks, but I can understand how it could give somone a headache/ make them sick.

Yeah, 'made for the youtube generation'.
No one on youtube really wants their videos to look that crappy, they just can't afford $2,500 dollar cameras + the gear. :p
