Yes I think i'll be watching it. Loved the teaser esp when the statue of liberty's head was rolling down the road lol. JJ Abrams is also doing the next star trek film, I can't wait for that either.

Just seen the trailer on Channel 5. Uk release date is Feb 1st.
Looks interesting n me likes monster flims 
Plot Summary (Possible Spoilers)
On the night that five friends throw a going-away party, a giant monster attacks Manhattan. The film depicts their attempts to survive the attack, all of which is recorded and then replayed on a handheld video camera.
Rob (Michael Stahl-David) records Beth (Odette Yustman) after sleeping with her for the first time. The video, being recorded over, then cuts to one month later, where Rob's brother Jason (Mike Vogel) and his girlfriend Lily (Jessica Lucas) are planning a surprise going-away party for Rob, who has accepted a job in Japan. Jason gives "Hud" (T. J. Miller) the task of documenting Rob's last night in the United States and recording farewell messages to Rob from party guests. Hud also attempts to attract the attention of Marlena (Lizzy Caplan), his crush. A confrontation occurs between Rob and Beth after it is revealed that the two friends had sex with each other a few weeks beforehand, and Beth leaves the party with her date.
The building suddenly shakes, a loud noise is heard, and large parts of the city briefly lose power. From the roof, the friends see a large explosion in the distance and they flee to the street, where the head of the Statue of Liberty lands as further explosions and a gigantic creature is glimpsed in the distance. As the friends attempt to leave Manhattan via the Brooklyn Bridge, they stop when Rob receives a phone call from Beth, who is trapped in her apartment. Jason is killed when the creature destroys the bridge. Intermittently, as recording problems occur with the camera, the movie flash-cuts to scenes from Rob and Beth's trip to Coney Island one month prior.
U.S. Military ground forces arrive to battle the creature. Looting begins as Rob heads into an electronics store to get a new battery for his phone, having lost contact with Beth. On the television, smaller creatures can be seen falling off the main creature, which attack military forces. Rob and his remaining friends resolve to rescue Beth. Making their way to Beth's apartment through a subway tunnel, the group is attacked by the smaller creatures. During the scuffle, Marlena is bitten by one while saving Hud. Eventually the group finds shelter and reaches a US Army field hospital. Marlena begins to bleed through various orifices and is dragged off behind a screen where her torso appears to expand then explode.
Before the surviving friends continue to Beth's apartment, a soldier warns them that if the military cannot contain the creature, the entire island of Manhattan will be bombed. After receiving information regarding the ongoing evacuation of the city, the remaining three friends continue to Beth's apartment, which has nearly toppled. Finding Beth alive, but injured, they make their way to the evacuation site. Lily is placed in the last seat of a departing helicopter and isn't seen again.
Rob, Beth and Hud board another helicopter and watch as a B-2 Stealth Bomber drops several bombs on the monster, which collapses into a cloud of dust and debris. Thinking the monster has been killed, the friends cheer, but seconds later, the monster lunges up, hitting the helicopter and sending it out of control. They survive the crash in Central Park but Hud is killed by the creature after filming it close up. Retrieving the camera from what's left of Hud's body, Rob and Beth take shelter under a bridge, where they each briefly address anyone who might find the film. Air-raid sirens sound and an explosion collapses the bridge, partially covering the camera with debris. Rob and Beth proclaim their love for each other before a second explosion covers the camera completely in rubble, leaving the fate of Rob and Beth and the monster unknown. The final scene returns to the recorded-over footage from the month before, at Coney Island, and something can be seen falling from the sky into the water.
After the credits roll, a short radio transmission plays.

Its been out here for a week or two and it seems that the verdict is that its good, but not great and that the documentary style handheld camera gets a bit annoying/nauseating. Thats what I've heard, but I haven't seen it. I plan to go on Tuesday or Wednesday.

I'm reading good reports too and being a bit of a sci-fi freak, I think I'll enjoy this. Will probably see it tonight or tomorrow. Its shot in the same sort of style as Blair Witch and I was OK with that so I'm looking forward to this.
