Couldn't agree more, Wick.

The tension-building in Cloverfield's first act was outstanding. You see how the inciting incident creeps up and shocks at the same time. It overwhelms both civilian and soldier. Battle, however, exhibits none of this arc development, but rather jumps into a never-ending, myopic firefight.

The writing just wasn't there.
