The Good:
The story concept and execution is pretty good (though it is a remake of a Kurosawa film from 2001, Kairo (Pulse))
The special effects were interesting, a lot more subtle than I expected in general.
It definately ended very differently than I expected.
The "bad guys" were mysterious.
The Bad:
Can somebody please turn on a damn light! I don't think there was a well lit room throughout the film.
There was little characterization. I didn't really feel for anyone.
There was an unmistakable steep change in the plot that takes place that wasn't pulled off well. Believability was kinda shot. Hard to explain without giving away parts of the story.
Overall: Well, I tried really hard to like it, but... but... I guess I'll try Kairo.

I did see Kairo - and I found it enjoyable though no where near Kurosawa's best work. Never saw this one as I tend to avoid American remakes of Asian films if at all possible.
