Comments:

Hmmm, seeing the legend, this movie should be fantastic, but somehow i found it a bit boring.
Jason Behr acting is flat and i don't feel any imotion involve, well he supposed to be a man whom protected his lover, right? Amanda Brooks was even better. And on the city scene, where the evil Buraki was attacked by the military force, i felt like watched another Godzilla movie.
Basically, the effect is quite nice, but the story is not strong and Jason Behr is definitely flat.
And the conclusion? Oh well, just watch if you have sooooo many spare time and tooooo much money to spend ^_^

Fun facts:

• On the beach scene, after Ethan rescue Sarah from the hospital, Sarah is dressed in hospital gown and slippers, she slips off her slippers and than walks down the beach. In the long shot she is wearing her slippers and than the next shot is a close up of both of them and in the lower left corner you see her slippers sitting on the beach where she took them off.
• A character (the policeman) incorrectly refers to the US Bank building in downtown LA as the "Liberty" Tower, when in fact the Tower is actually known as the Library Tower.
