What A Thrilling Ride!

Rating: 8/10 (19 May 2017)

This movie surpassed all my expectations. I knew that this movie was about a monster attack in New York and that it was filmed in a first- person way. That means a lot of shaky camera scenes and many moments you don't know what is going on screen. And for that, this isn't a movie for everyone. I'm petty sure that many people who gives bad critics to this is because of this. Well I think it really worked and made you get into the story in a real awesome way. Just amazing!
It tells the story of a group of people who are preparing a goodbye party to one of them, who's leaving to Japan. But suddenly something like an earthquake interrupts them and from here (about the minute 20 or so) he action and the tension starts as they try to cross New York to find one of their friends who is trapped in her own apartment. The story may not be the best but it truly gets you into the action quickly and makes you feel scared, tense, happy or sad, as the characters are. The actors made a really great job, because they feel like they're really in danger. Lizzy Caplan, T.J. Miller, Michael Stahl-David & Jessica Lucas as the main characters they are all amazing.
And the other thing I have to mention is the amazing visuals and all of the cinematography. It feels very real and the camera work gets you into this monster attack. The music here is missing because the movie wants to make you feel it like a real record of this, but in the end credits you get to hear the Cloverfield Overture by Michael Giacchino and it could have really fit well in the movie.
This movie isn't for everyone, but that's not necessary a bad thing, because I loved it. just watch it and then you will discover an amazing movie made in a very original way, or maybe you will discover an awful movie that will bring you headaches, but I'm pretty sure you won't regret watching it.
