Great film to see at the comfort of your home

Rating: 8/10 (1 December 2009)

I watched this film in anticipation on the first day it was released. I read a warning on the cashier window stating, "This film has caused seizures to a very minimal amount of people. We advise to you, not to see this film if you are easily irritated by rapid movement, continuous flashing colors, etc." I didn't pay much attention to this warning considering I watched a lot of things that has given people seizures. When I arrived, the theater was well maintained and at a cold but comfortable temperature. The movie commenced. The first ten minutes made me groan, mostly due to my anticipation to see what was "Cloverfield" after the ten minutes of wait there it was. The film was extremely shaky that I became nauseated, and the yelling the theater was frustrating. To my misfortune I watched this in IMAX. I was frustrated with the film, that I spoke bad of it. When it came out on DVD, I decided to take a second look at it. I was content! The film seemed less shaky, mostly considering that I was not in front of a screen 4 times the size of my house, the acting was spectacular. Everything seemed consistent except for a couple of things. The talking does go on for sometime making it seem that the directors are just trying to fill in extra time. They do make it up with great action, and CGI.
