I spent 80 of the 85 minutes with varying degrees of motion sickness. I spent the last 30 minutes focusing on my phone and just listening to the dialog. Wendi didn't get sick but she felt like the movie was filled with despair and it never let up. Without giving away any spoilers, we weren't very satisfied with the ending. Although I did expect it to end that way. At the risk of sounding like "the comic book guy" there was also a glaring error. The beginning of the movie states that it was recovered from a SD card in a camera. SD cards record digitally and you wouldn't get the analog effect of recording over a previous video like a magnetic tape would. Once a SD card is full you can't "rewind" it and record over the top. Now if you want to see a good movie go see The Bucket List, Stardust, or just stay home and rent The Transporter or The Saint. Sorry Fiona, but we strongly disagree.
