The wife and I watched this on DVD a month or two back. It does suffer a little from the transition to little screen, but I still enjoy the shit out of it.

Can't remember if I saw this little or big (projector in my, "office"), but I don't remember getting barfy.  I did rather like this movie.  Predictably, my wife did not.

I only watched this recently too, really liked it. Girlfriend can't watch more than 20 mins of it before getting motion sickness :/

Watched it this past weekend. I really liked it. Maybe I had low expectations. The camera guy getting eaten was the best part. I almost laughed! I was also glad no one survived. If I was supposed to want the main characters to survive, then the movie failed. I loved it as a spectacle.

I have never played WoW.

I to am slow on the uptake, and just finally saw this movie.  Absolutely loved it.  Excellent pacing, awesome action sequences, overall fun story.  Loved pretty much everything about it.  Kept me on edge the entire time I watched it, and had some amazing visuals (like when they get caught in the middle of the regiment of soldiers attacking it with armor support).  And despite a few quibbles (giant monster or no, hard to imagine something with skin tough enough to take a couple of direct hits from 2,000 lb. bombs and apparently not  have a scratch), I actually felt the movie kept itself reasonable and never broke immersion for me.  Going to be one of the few movies I own on DVD.

Hey, Lily lived!  Which I think she kind of deserved, since her boyfriend got the distinction of being the first one killed.
