I think this movie was made as good as it could have been. With only 4 months and a 52000$ budget - I'm surprised this wasn't worse. If you are not to care about the CG or special effects, this movie is great.
Okay, the movie is not that well made (I'm sure it could have been but, you try to do better in only 4 months) but the story is good and the movie is rather exciting.
DOn't trust me when I say that this movie is good, cause I also find the 1933 King Kong to be good.
I must confess that I didn't watch the complete movie either... I might have fast forwarded some minutes here and there...
