The movie did have a plot. A group of trying to survive a night after a monster attacks the city. Done. You just see what they document in their camera. Like I've said, if they make a sequel they'll have to do it with a bigger budget this time concentrating on the military on how they knew of the monster and how they kill it. The military was already on the monster's ass when it arrived on new york. I take this movie as a introduction. About the apartment next the park, it was Beth's father's apartment so maybe he's a rich guy. All I hope is we get a hero monster...Zilla (American) needs to return cuz Godzilla (Jap) is retired
