Won't the cinematographers and directors please get over that already...?

You'll see something drop into the water, not cloverfield monster size, but a pretty good size none-the-less. I really liked how that part tied in with the whole movie. Of course you don't get told what dropped into the water nor is there any mention of it. Pay no attention to the dialogue but rather gaze at the water behind her.

What was that Yvo? I'll admit I turned and whispered something to my son in that scene and was not really paying attention too much to that part. What did I miss? I heard the princess say something like "best day ever"... --chuck “Did you find out the significance of the very last scene, where they are back at the fair on Coney Island?”

I, IMHO, found that one of the best parts of the movie because I honestly didn't expect it. I probably wouldn't have caught it had I not been sitting on the right side of the enormous (Cinerama) screen. I also found the whole rescue the chick thing a tad bit unbelievable, especially after his bro got hit by a what looked to be a tentacle. Then again it was pretty predictable after that whole "drama" scene prior to the monster butchering NYC that he was going to go after her. Btw (you know I can't let this go unanswered) I don't like the whole shaky camera effect either. I can't watch a show named "The Shield" for that very reason (they truly over do it) but it has definitely toned down in the new BSG. I recently saw a few episodes of the first season and noticed the shaky camera effect and compared them to the last season, there is a big difference. They still seem to struggle with attack/battle scenes though. Did you find out the significance of the very last scene, where they are back at the fair on Coney Island?
